This process, called vernalization, ensures plump, healthy bulbs when it’s time to harvest!✨ Stronger RootsPlanting garlic in late autumn or early winter allows the roots to establish while the soil is still workable. By spring, your garlic will be ready to thrive!✨ Fewer Pests and WeedsCold temperatures keep pests and weeds at bay, giving your garlic a better chance to grow strong without competition.✨ Nature’s TimingGarlic follows the rhythm of the seasons.
