You should try again as France is good garlic country. We plant first week in November, keep the rows clear of weeds, in the spring when they start more rapid growth I fertilize with fish emulsion fertilizer just to give them a boost and last but very important the removal of the garlic scapes. Scapes are the curly tops that pop out soon to become the flower heads. These need to be popped off because they keep the garlic bulbs from enlarging and also if left will go to seed and one will then have thousands of very small garlic growing everyplace including walkways.Dochttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05230334534323236665noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5537642929332709150.post-75793877477801377642014-07-30T21:13:05.033-07:002014-07-30T21:13:05.033-07:00I've never had much luck with garlic, so have ...I've never had much luck with garlic, so have stopped trying.

We plant the first week of November and usually harvest in July when the leaves yellow and begin to wither. I use a multi pronged dibble when planting because it spaces them 6 inches apart and in a nice straight row. Check out my post from June 7, 2013 titled “Another Visit to The Red Pig”. My dibble is going too pictured and written about by a local garden book author….Oh I hope John behaves himself with that last statement.Dochttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05230334534323236665noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5537642929332709150.post-23054337913710770012014-07-30T09:48:32.096-07:002014-07-30T09:48:32.096-07:00Great harvest Doc!
