AUGUST Seed Planting Guide for the US

Because you ask, we've posted our AUGUST Seed Planting Guide a bit early this month!

Mary's Heirloom Seeds Newsletter AUGUST Seed Planting Guide for the US by Region ABOUT GARLIC Garlic varieties fall into two broad categories, the hard-neck types and the soft-neck types. Soft-neck varieties tend to produce larger bulbs than hard-neck types, and their bulbs store better.   Soft-neck garlic is typically more sensitive to cold than hard-neck garlic, so it often doesn't do well in northern climates. It does just fine in Florida, California and warmer climates.
