Garlic is a bulb that grows over winter in our Canadian climates. It starts out from a clove and will grow into a full head of garlic by early summer. In Canada, hard necked varieties are the most commonly grown as they have the best storage life to keep through the winter. Garlic is planted in the fall, with scapes harvested in spring, and the full heads harvested in the beginning of summer. Overall, garlic is a low maintenance crop that is packed full of flavour.
