Transplanting Garlic with Kesser and Steen, Nature and Innovation

Transplanting Garlic - Garlic Garden Guide: From Planting to Harvest. Today we describe a collaborative gardening project involving two students, Steen and Kesser, as they prepare a new raised garden bed for future crops. They outlines plans to maximize space by growing climbing vegetables like squash alongside rows of garlic, which are often transplanted after appearing in the fall. Expert advice from Tante Grøn emphasizes that planting garlic cloves in autumn is essential, as the winter cold triggers the bulbs to divide properly. Detailed cultivation instructions are provided, including soaking the cloves, maintaining specific spacing, and ensuring the pointed ends face upward. Ultimately, the source serves as an educational guide for beginner gardeners by combining a fictional story with practical agricultural tips. Garlic Yes yes and yes, we've talked about it before.. but now Steen is on his way with his own new raised bed.. where Kesser helped the other day to make it ready with green manure (cover crop) - first a little quick weeding 🌱🧤 and broad sowing the seeds, which they believe are buckwheat grains.. in a raised bed that is approx. 1 m x 2 m Steen has an idea that squash or Hokkaido pumpkins can be on one half and grow up on a stand of some kind - and “in the front” he would like to have some rows of garlic 🧄🧄 which will soon be planted .. that is, they will be standing somewhere 🤔 where no one can remember, but during the autumn they will appear - with a little green top 🌱🌱 and then they just have to be transplanted into the new raised bed and wait for next spring .. While the two boys from the Nature and Innovation class are weeding a little in another bed, they find some small garlic bulbs, which may come from the small top bulbs that some varieties plant .. they put them aside in a tray Auntie Grøn explains how she plants her garlic .. -“You plant garlic in the autumn from September to November, 4 to 6 weeks before the first real night frost. The best time is in the autumn (recommended). The soil can be cool, but not frozen - so the cloves form good roots before winter and later divide into large bulbs. Garlic needs the cold to divide into the 8 - 10 cloves we usually know garlic has at the grocery store. You can also plant them in early spring (March-April), but you usually get smaller and fewer cloves.” explains Tante Grøn Good advice. Divide the garlic into individual cloves before planting them. It is advisable to soak them in water for 1-2 days before planting. Give them a distance of 10 cm between each clove and 20 cm between the rows. Make holes with, for example, a garden fork and plant each clove with the tip upwards. Cover the cloves with 4-5 cm of soil. #garlic #growyourownfood #kitchengarden #hvidløg Copyright 2026 - Flamme Rouge 🚩 Nature
