Planting

Additional Information

    

Planting occurs late in September  or October depending  on your particular climate.  To prepare for planting the cloves are  separated from the bulbs that have been saved for planting the day  before planting.  You can prepare the cloves several days in advance,  but the bulb skin provides a protective covering for the cloves and  should not be removed too far in advance of planting.  

We plant on a grid about 8 inches by 6 inches and this seems to work  well.  To plant the clove, we make a 1-2 inch hole in the prepared  ground and insert the clove basil end down (point end up).  Orientation  is not critical except that cloves that are planted sideways may produce  bulbs with a crooked top and this may affect marketability to a certain  degree.  After the cloves are inserted, they are covered and left to  grow.  

Check out the pages entitled Soil Preparation and Tools and Equipment for further descriptions and pictures of the planting process.
