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

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
