I planted garlic in two different areas this year. Here are the two areas, covered with straw and ready for winter.
This picture was taken on the third and final day of garlic planting. We had to get done with the garlic planting because it was suppose to rain all next week. We ended up having to spread straw by the headlights of my truck.
This is what the ground looks like after having pealed and planted thousands of garlics.
