MASTERGARDENER Weddin Show At The Mall extra Chance ) CENTER West 180 Humbert Rd . Shelton, Washington Gillis Auto Center is a drop point for food donations all is upon us but there are still many things that can be done in the garden, It is a great time to plant bulbs in your garden, including tulips, daffodils and garlic. Garlic, a member of the onion family, differs from onions in form as well as taste. Instead of one large bulb, garlic produces a dozen or so small ones called cloves, surrounded by a thin, papery skin. The way to get good garlic bulbs is to grow lots of leaves be- fore bulb development. The more foliage developed, the better the resulting bulb, in both size and quality. Leaf development hap- pens during the short, cool days of early spring. Long days and higher tempera- tures favor bulb develop- ment and, once the bulb starts to form, no more foli- age is produced. Obviously then, it is important to plant very early in the year to establish a large vegeta- tive plant. The following garlic advice comes from Mary Robson, author and retired Area Extension Agent. She notes that smart North- west gardeners, who would rather work in the garden in Octo- ~ ber than in Febru- ary, plant in the fall. This is not ab- solutely neces- sary, but By JEANNE it does REHWALDT guarantee that the plant will get an early start developing foliage, after the bulb overwinters in the ground. Planted between mid-October and mid-No- vember, garlic is completely winter-hardy here. The foliage may get frosted off during a hard winter, but it always takes off again in spring. Garlic grows best on crumbly, light soils that are high in organic mat- ter, with a pH range of 6-7. Heavy clay soil creates mis- shapen bulbs and makes harvesting difficult. Add or- 1/2 to 1 inch. Garlic grows ganic matter to the soil on best in beds. This avoids a yearly basis to keep it fri- soil compaction around the able.
