Garlic is best planted in the fall. It can both tolerate frost and likes frost. Garlic is always divided and planted as individual cloves. Garlic is planted in raised beds, pots or in rows in the kitchen garden. They are planted approx. 10 cm apart. You can plant them closer together and use some of the bulbs as greens over the summer - the tops are fine as chives. Garlic is very easy to grow. Garlic can also be tucked in between the herbs and is said to help deter the carrot fly, which lays eggs in the parsley. When garlic is placed in the kitchen garden, it develops into large, beautiful bulbs. All our garlic is "soft-necked" garlic. This means that it does not form a cane and can be braided to hang. If it is placed in a place where it lacks water and fertilizer for periods, it becomes smaller and sometimes begins to flower and then forms small bulbs at the top. Both flowers and bulbs can be eaten. When growing garlic yourself, there are several different varieties to choose from.
