Question about growing garlic.
The suggestion here is that garlic should be planted in the fall after the first frost.
How well can I expect it to work out if I plant some now?
I’m in Zone 5b.
I’m Zone 4 or 5, depending on which map I’m looking at, and grow garlic most years. I Fall plant most of it; and Spring plant more.
Both mature, and grow well, assuming we didn’t get really long, deep freezes over the Winter. The Spring planted grow for a few weeks longer than the earlier ones, otherwise not much difference: early July, vs August harvest. Your milage may vary.
One other difference is that the Spring plantings pretty much stay put, but frost cycles tend to move the others around.
