We could have gone easy and given you just one type, but where's the fun in that? You get both hardneck AND softneck garlic, so you can discover which you prefer (spoiler: you'll love both).

Hardneck Garlic (Chesnok Red)

•  🧬 The Personality: Bold, complex, spicy
•  🌰 The Look: 8 to 10 cloves around a central stalk
•  🌸 The Bonus: Produces scapes (garlic flowers you can eat!)
•  📦 Storage: 4–6 months
•  🍽️ Best For: Roasting, fancy cooking, showing off

Softneck Garlic (Sicilian)

•  🧬 The Personality: Mild, versatile, approachable
•  🌰 The Look: 8 to 10 cloves in layers, no central stalk
•  🎀 The Bonus: Perfect for braiding, lasts forever
•  📦 Storage: 8–12 months
•  🍽️ Best For: Everyday cooking, raw dishes, gifting

We've made this as simple as possible. If you can make coffee, you can grow garlic.

Step 1: Set Up (5 Minutes)

• 📍 Find Your Spot: Anywhere with 6-8 hours of sun
• 🏺 Position Bag: Set it where you want it (it'll be heavy when full)
• 🪴 Add Soil: Fill to 1 inch from top
• 💧 Water: Dampen the soil, let it settle, add more if needed

Step 2: Plant (Fall - 10 Minutes)

• 📅 Timing: 2-4 weeks before first frost
• 🧄 Separate Cloves: Gently break apart, keep papery skin
• 👆 Plant Pointy End Up: 3-5 inches deep
• 📏 Space Evenly: About 3 to 4 inches apart
• 💧 Water In: Mix 2 tbsp fertilizer per gallon. Water thoroughly

Step 3: Wait (Winter)

• ❄️ Let It Sleep: Garlic needs cold to form bulbs
• 🍂 Mulch (Zones 5 & Colder): Add 2-6 inches of straw (optional)
• ✅ Relax: Roots are growing underground

Step 4: Grow (Spring/Summer)

• 🌱 Watch for Shoots: Green growth appears in spring
• 💧 Water Weekly: 1 inch per week minimum
• 🐟 Feed Every 2-3 Weeks: Your pint will last all season
• ✂️ Cut Scapes: Hardneck bonus - eat the curly flower stalks!

Step 5: Harvest (Mid-Summer)

• 🍃 Watch the Leaves and Bulb: Harvest when the bottom leaves are brown and the top 5 still half-green. You can also gently dig around the soil to see the bulb and make sure you can see the cloves shape through the papers. If you just see a round smooth bulb let it go another few days and check again till you see the cloves showing though the papers.
• 🍴 Dig Carefully: Loosen soil, lift gently
• 🏠 Cure 3-4 Weeks: Hang in a dark, airy spot until the center of the stem is completely dry. 
• ✂️ Trim & Store: Cut stems 4 to 6 inches long, store cool and dry

• 🌾 Zones 3–4: Plant by late September
• 🍂 Zone 5: Early to mid-October
• 🍁 Zone 6: Mid to late October
• 🍃 Zone 7: Late October to early November
• 🌿 Zone 8: November to early December
• 📌 Rule of thumb: Plant 2–4 weeks before your ground typically freezes

• 📍 Location Matters: Full sun is non-negotiable. Garlic won’t bulb properly in the shade. Balconies, patios, driveways — anywhere sunny works.
• ❄️ Don’t Skip the Cold: Garlic needs winter cold (vernalization) to form bulbs. No cold = no bulbs. Trust the process. If you don’t live in an area that gets cold don't worry. You can vernalize your garlic in the refrigerator for 4 to 8 weeks.
• 🧪 The Fertilizer Secret: Neptune’s Harvest isn’t just marketing — this stuff works. Fish emulsion + seaweed = garlic steroids (the legal kind).
• 💧 Watering Wisdom: Consistent moisture in spring is crucial. Too dry = small bulbs. Too wet = rot. Aim for “moist but not soggy.” think again well wrung sponge.

Let's be honest about what to expect:

• 🌱 First-Year Success Rate: 90%+ if you follow directions
• ⚖️ Average Bulb Size: 2–3 inches diameter
• 🧺 Total Harvest Weight: 2–4 pounds of cured garlic
• 📦 Storage Time: 4–6 months (hardneck), 8–12 months (softneck)
• 🎓 Learning Curve: Minimal — garlic wants to grow!

• “Can I really grow garlic in a bag?”
  • ✅ Absolutely! Garlic has relatively shallow roots. Our 15" deep bag is deeper than most garden beds and breathable for better root health.
• “What about drainage?”
  • 💧 The fabric grow bag provides perfect drainage — excess water flows through, preventing rot. Better than many in-ground situations.
• “Do I reuse the bag?”
  • ♻️ Yes! These bags last for years. After harvesting, dump the soil, rinse the bag, and you’re ready for next season.
• “Can I grow other things in it?”
  • 🌼 Sure! After garlic harvest in summer, plant lettuce, herbs, or flowers. The bag is yours to use however you want.
• “What if I miss fall planting?”
  • ⏳ You can try spring planting in Zones 7–8, but results vary. Fall planting is always best. Order now, and we’ll store your garlic properly until you're ready.

We've seen it all. Here are quick fixes for common issues:

• 💛 Yellow Tips? Usually nitrogen deficiency — feed more often.
• 🌤 Slow Growth? Needs full sun — no shade cheating!
• 🥄 Small Bulbs? Often planted too late or watered inconsistently.
• ❄️ No Bulbs? Probably didn’t get cold enough — most common in Zones 8–9.
• 🌿 Floppy Leaves? Likely overwatering — let the soil dry slightly between waterings.
• 🟤 Brown Spots? Usually cosmetic fungus — improve airflow.

👍 Good news: Container growing eliminates 90% of garlic problems!

Common Issues & Organic Solutions:

• 🦠 White Rot: Serious garlic disease — why our seed is disease-free
•  🍂 Rust / Leaf Spot: Usually cosmetic — improve air circulation
•  🪱 Onion Maggots: Rare in containers — beneficial nematodes can help
•  🌱 Natural Prevention: Healthy soil = healthy plants = fewer problems

Container Advantages:

•  🧼 No soil-borne diseases
• 💧 Better drainage prevents rot
•  🔍 Easy to monitor and manage
•  🐌 Isolated from common garden pests

🍁 Fall (Planting Season)

•  📆 Mark your calendar for next summer

❄️ Winter (Dormant Season)

• 🪴 Garlic is developing roots underground
•  😴 No care needed — it’s resting
•  🌨️ Snow? Totally fine — it insulates and garlic LOVES it!
•  🧤 Resist the urge to dig it up!

🌱 Spring (Growth Season)

• 🌿 Green shoots will appear (exciting!)
