Fall Garlic Planting | How to Establish a Perennial Garlic Raised Bed

Today we will be doing some Fall Garlic Planting where we transplant, separate and plant some garlic cloves & clusters of seed plants for harvesting next year! Garlic is a perennial and can be harvested in the Spring for “Spring Garlic” (or Green Garlic) which has a sweet & mild garlic flavor that is great in sauces, pasta salad or for potato dishes. It can also be harvested late summer for the typical garlic cloves like you see in the grocery store. By creating a Perennial Garlic Bed, when the garlic is left in the ground, it will continue to grow & reproduce; you will have garlic whenever you want it and not have to buy seed garlic again!

By Planting Garlic as a perennial (and leaving it over the winter), you end up with 2 options for Harvesting. As well as continuous “seed Garlic” to keep your crop growing.

Spring Garlic

Garlic is a perennial. Although it is often planted and treated as an annual. Meaning, traditionally we plant the seed garlic in the fall, then in late summer, we harvest the clusters of garlic cloves like you see in the grocery store. But you can actually grow Garlic as the perennial that it is! Also, if you enjoy a milder, sweet garlic flavor, you might enjoy Spring Garlic (or Green Garlic) that is ready to harvest in March – May (depending on your zone). The Spring Garlics looks more like a green onion with a little garlic clove as the bulb. It works great wherever you might use green onions or leeks. Plus, it doesn’t have to be peeled!

Fall Garlic

Now if you let that same Garlic planted in the Fall grow in the ground until late summer, you are left with another crop to enjoy for your traditional garlic flavored recipes! When the remaining garlic is left in the ground, eventually the garlic cloves will sense the change in season with consistent cold weather & frost, and transition from the growing phase to the reproductive phase and start the process of vernalization. Which is the creation of multiple cloves/bulbs from a single clove/bulb for Garlic’s reproduction. Therefore, making those nice big clusters of garlic cloves that you smash, peel and add to your favorite dishes & recipes!

& Beyond!

The garlic left in the ground and grown as a perennial, can create clusters of small garlic plants that shoot up and can be divided in the spring to make more garlic plants/bulbs. Then, once again in the fall, the immature clove clusters and garlic plant shoots can be divided for your traditional Fall Garlic Planting! Thus, not needing to buy Seed Garlic Again! (Not to mention, exponentially increasing your garlic crop each time!)
