If you live in New Zealand now is the perfect time to be planting your garlic.
Below is a few shots from my harvest last summer.
With a little (alot) bit of time and love i highly recommend you all plant your own garlic. They don't take up much space, mine are planted approx 150mm apart or for you imperialists 4 - 6in.
Nothing beats homegrown garlic. Stores bought has nothing on it.
Grow your own, get out there.
