When you need to plant winter garlic so that it does not die

With winter garlic you need to choose the planting period correctly. If it is placed in the ground too early in warm weather, it will germinate, and with the onset of frost it will die. It is also bad to plant late, because garlic has every chance to freeze without rooting.

How to determine the correct planting period

Each region has its own climatic features, so it is impossible to give an unambiguous date. You need to take the weather and temperature indicators as a guide. This is the best way to get into the right period.

The daytime temperature should drop to +5 or +8 degrees. Above these indicators will be considered warm weather for garlic. The night temperature can be close to zero or light frosts 1-2 degrees below zero.

It is necessary to focus on the fact that the air temperature has dropped, no significant warming is forecast and there are about 3 weeks left before stable cold weather. With this calculation, you will definitely not make a mistake with the date of planting garlic.
