How to plant garlic seeds

Garlic sprouts are generally propagated by garlic bulbs. If you want to keep seeds, you need to choose varieties with thick stems, dark green leaves, and large and strong bodies. The harvesting time is after the sprouting.

When sowing garlic seedlings, you need to determine the variety and sowing time in advance, and then select plump, full, and pest-free garlic cloves as garlic seeds. After planting, they can generally be harvested in winter and spring.

Garlic seed sowing time

The sowing time of garlic sprout seeds is not very strict, but they are generally planted around August, 1-2 months earlier than the cultivation of garlic scapes. The first crop can be harvested about 20 days after sowing.

Garlic seed planting method

1. Choose the variety

When planting green garlic, you should choose varieties with short dormancy, fast growth, long pseudostems, thick leaves, and few yellow leaves and dry tips, such as Cangshan rough garlic and Yongnian white garlic. Choose uniform, plump, and large garlic cloves for sowing, which is conducive to germination and uniform germination.

2. Sowing

The growth cycle of garlic seedlings is very short, and the sowing method is the same as that of garlic. First, apply enough base fertilizer, then level the land to make beds and directly sow the seeds. About 10,000 plants can be planted per acre. After sowing, the tip of the garlic clove should be slightly exposed.
