About White Garlic

German White Garlic is very sturdy porcelain-type hardneck garlic, yielding 6-8 cloves arranged around the central stem. Characterized by its large, plump cloves and an ivory-white papery skin, this garlic variety boasts a rich and bold taste which transforms into a sweet and mild flavour when cooked. From enhancing roasted meats to infusing sauces, soups, and stews, White Garlic proves its versatility in the kitchen.

This late-season "porcelain" variety produces scapes in June just before bulb harvest. While the bulbs are typically large and bright white, occasional streaks of purple or copper may appear depending on growing conditions. Harvesting the scapes allows the bulbs to grow even larger. Known for its excellent storage life, these garlic bulbs can remain fresh for an impressive 6-8 months.

How to Grow Garlic

Planting Garlic

These bulbs can be grown in almost any soil as long as it is well-drained and fertile.
Break the garlic head into cloves before planting.
Plant them with the pointy end up about 5 cm (2 in) deep and 15 to 20 cm (6 to 8 in) apart.
Water thoroughly after planting.

Growing Garlic

Weed regularly when plants start growing.
Water as needed during active growth periods, but allow the soil to become dry between watering.
All-purpose garden fertilizer applied at the beginning and middle of the growing season is effective.
Growing garlic is also a way to prevent insect infestations in the garden.

Garlic Care

Garlic bulbs are ready to be harvested when you can feel the individual cloves in the bulb, and the leaves turn yellow or brown.
To harvest, carefully lift the bulbs with a spade or a garden fork. Carefully brush off the soil and dry the plants for 2 to 3 weeks in a shaded area with good air circulation.
Once the garlic bulbs are dry, you can store them. Remove any dirt and trim off any roots or leaves.
Bulbs should be stored in a cool 5 °C (40 °F), dark and dry place.

Winterizing Garlic

During the winter months you should check your stored bulbs regularly and promptly use any that show signs of sprouting.
If you plan on planting garlic again next season, save some of your largest bulbs to plant again in the spring.

When should I plant spring garlic in niagara region ontario

Hello,
In Niagara, Ontario, the best time to plant garlic is in the fall. Here’s a detailed guide on when and how to plant garlic in that region:
Timing

Planting Time: Aim to plant garlic in late September to October. This allows the garlic to establish roots before the ground freezes, leading to better growth in the spring.
Soil Temperature: Plant when the soil temperature is around 10-15°C (50-60°F). Garlic needs a period of cold to develop properly, which is why fall planting is ideal.
