To get the most out of your garlic growing season you need to know when is the right time to plant garlic and in addition to that, how to plant garlic. Here in South Africa we have a range of climates and micro-climates that can make growing garlic successfully a reall challenge.
To grow garlic in South Africa you need to understand your local microclimate and ecosystem and plant your garlic according to what your weather and temperature patterns show. What you don't want to do is just blind follow guides on how to grow garlic blindly. Take the time to grow a small batch of garlic at home and see how they perform. Then use that garlic as your seed garlic for the follow year as garlic does acclimatise to local conditions. You can then adjust any of your planting techniques to match your experiments and findings.
So when is the best time to plant garlic in South Africa? Well, once again, it depends where you are in South Africa, but the general rule of thumb is late February through to early April. If you have very long and dry summers then you can plant garlic later. If you have early and wet winters then try plant your garlic as early as possible, around the first week in March to get the most amount of growing time before the cold and rain sets in.
My biggest tip for growing great garlic is to not overthink it. Do not over feed, do not over water, or pamper your garlic. They are very easy to grow and require very little human intervention.
