🌱 *Choosing Your Variety*
Success starts with the seed! We discuss why Hardneck garlic is perfect for colder climates and offers those delicious scapes, while Softneck garlic thrives in warmer areas and boasts a longer shelf life. Knowing your climate is key to a great harvest.

🌱 *Planting for Success*
Garlic loves well-drained, fertile soil. We show you exactly how to space your cloves (4-12 inches apart) and why planting the pointy end up is crucial. Don't forget to choose the largest cloves for planting—big cloves equal big bulbs! Mulching with straw is a must to keep weeds down and moisture in.

🌱 *The Scape Secret*
If you grow hardneck garlic, you have a bonus crop! We explain how cutting the scapes (flower stalks) not only gives you a tasty treat but also redirects energy back into the bulb, increasing its size by up to 30%. Don't miss this step!

🌱 *Harvesting & Curing*
Pulling garlic too early or too late can ruin your crop. We teach you the visual signs to look for—browning lower leaves and yellowing tops. Learn the gentle fork technique to lift them without damage and the proper way to cure them in a cool, dark place for 3-8 weeks.
