Fingers crossed the weather stays nice throughout September!
Because of our short growing season and lack of heat, garlic has to be planted in the fall in Calgary. Plant the same way as you do in spring. Separate the head into cloves, stick cloves in the ground, remember where you planted them so you don't dig them up in spring))))
