Rusty Fence Ranch – Santa Rosa, CA (Certified Organic – CCOF)

Rocky Red grows in a range of different conditions and is tolerant to wet soils. This garlic has a balanced flavor, but hot when eaten raw. Expect to harvest in the middle of the season.

Where winters are milder (like our area) garlic is planted from October through January.

Garlic will make the largest bulbs in fertile soil with lots of organic matter, so amend your soil as necessary.

Break the bulbs into individual cloves and plant 4-6" apart in rows that are 12" apart. Aprox 1" deep, root side down.

Fertilize in spring with a little chicken manure and a slow release organic fertilizer like cottonseed meal or Cal Organic 7-5-7.

Harvest is based on the type of garlic. Once the tops start to die down usually June-July.
