    What is the difference between winter garlic and spring garlic? Which one is best stored? What needs to be planted now, in the fall?

      - The heads of winter garlic consist of 4-12 large cloves coated with a pinkish-purple shell. They are arranged in a row around a solid rod. Winter garlic is poorly stored, so it is advisable to use it first. And plant it in the fall.
      The heads of spring garlic do not have a stem; they consist of 20-25 small cloves arranged in several rows (smaller ones in the center). Well kept all winter until the summer.

    I want to share my experience in growing winter and spring garlic. For example, my neighbors plant only winter garlic, since it is initially more fruitful and larger. I also grow large. For the winter I don’t cover it with anything, but as soon as the snow comes down, I loosen it, put loose manure - and let it grow.

    I prepare a bed for spring garlic in the fall, but not after onions, garlic or potatoes, but after legumes and pumpkins. An important point: in early spring, I plant spring garlic in literally thawed soil — he loves to plant early.

    After sprouting I feed urea. Usage usual: loosening after watering and rains. When the onion begins to be poured, I feed the infusion with the mullein. Consider one feature of spring garlic: it constantly needs a fairly moist soil.

    Why is it so important to know, spring garlic is offered to you or winter (unfortunately, you can not always believe a word)? Yes, because everyone has his own time: spring for planting under winter is no good, winter crops are not good to plant. Winter chives have larger teeth, but they are few. And in the center of the head is a fairly thick stalk. In the spring such a stalk, there is not a smaller segment.

    Varieties of garlic, planted under the winter, called winter crops.

    Their bulbs in a state of hibernation survive winter in the soil and in early spring they quickly grow. Most winter varieties are distinguished by large heads with large cloves, mild taste and smell. Harvested in July - early August, just in time for the season of mass harvesting. But winter garlic has one big drawback - its heads are not stored for long. By the middle of winter, they wither, sprout, lose their taste and aroma.

    If you want to provide yourself with a vegetable until spring, and even before the new harvest, you need to stock up garlic spring. He rides later winter, by September, although many mistresses in the summer start up his juicy greens and still unripe onions. The taste and smell is strong, sharp, well-marked in dishes. The most valuable thing about it is that the heads, if properly stored, until 2 years, do not lose their juiciness and useful properties.

    How to distinguish?

    Let's say you got a head of garlic of an unknown grade.
    How to understand whether it is spring or winter? First of all, pay attention to the shape, size and location of the cloves. In winter, they are approximately the same, arranged in a circle in one layer, like orange slices. In spring varieties, the cloves are heterogeneous, arranged in several uneven concentric circles: in the center, the smallest, outside - larger.

    Most varieties of winter garlic are shooters, that is, in the summer they produce a strong flower stalk. The hard, dried base of this arrow is clearly visible in the center of the head, it looks like the core of a children's pyramid. Although this symptom is not required, it can sometimes be in spring and absent in winter garlic.

    I remove the winter garlic when it still sits firmly in the soil, but the lower leaves have turned yellow. The land of his days is 10 in the sun, spread out on the ground. Then I clean the heads of dirty scales with my hands, cut off the stems,
    leaving the rod in 5-6 cm, and pouring into the boxes in the shed. Before freezing, I put garlic in cardboard boxes or paper bags and put it in a boiler room on a wooden pallet.
    TIP: If garlic was stored in a cold room in winter and fell under frost, do not be afraid to plant it in the spring. He grows up late, the heads will be smaller, but without garlic you will not stay.

    The harvest time for winter garlic is determined by the few arrows left: when they straighten out of the rings and become vertically - it's time. This is approximately 100-110 days after the emergence of seedlings. I remove the garlic in dry sunny weather, carefully digging it with a pitchfork. After drying, cut the tops, leaving a small stump. I take away part of the heads for winter planting and cut off their roots briefly, being careful not to damage the bottom. For long-term storage of garlic, I lightly burn the roots with a lighted paraffin candle (so as not to sprout), put them in cardboard boxes and take them to the attic, where I leave them until late autumn. With the onset of cold weather, I sort through the garlic and transfer it to the basement, where I store it at a temperature of 0 ... + 2 deg.

      The teeth before planting are disassembled in size into small, medium and large, because they need to be planted separately. Then 10 minutes kept in a solution of phytosporin-M, so as not to suffer from fungal diseases. Now it’s too late, but next year it’s nice to put the bulbs in the refrigerator for 2-3 weeks so that the shoots are friendly and strong. On the prepared bed, grooves are made 6–7 cm deep and the teeth are laid out without pressing them, otherwise it can be damaged. The landing pattern is as follows: large 10 × 15 cm, medium 8 × 15 cm, small 6 × 15 cm.
      For trifles, you can select a separate ridge. Do not expect good heads here. but they will be an excellent planting material for the next year.
      Top with garlic sprinkled with soil, slightly compacted, watered and mulched with sawdust or peat with a layer of 2 cm, so that the crust does not appear.
      To care for garlic is simple, you need to remove weeds in time, loosen rows and water. Although garlic is considered drought-resistant, but when there is no rain for a long time, it is watered once a week to a depth of 30 cm.
      Over the summer, do 2 dressings. The first - after germination, the second in July. Garlic loves both organic matter (a solution of chicken manure in a proportion of 1:15), and complex fertilizers. A good result gives a specialized fertilizer for onions and garlic. The main thing is to observe the norms indicated on the package so that the bulbs do not crack due to an excess of nutrients. It’s also good to sprinkle ashes between rows.

    I got winter garlic. I spent garbage all my life on the Victoria, and he grew up perfectly. I'm nine-ten, I've been working on the ground since childhood. I have never met such a "beast" as a nematode. If possible, tell us how to deal with it, what are its signs?
    And another question: should garlic be washed? For many years I washed him in two waters, and he was never sick. What happened - the earth got sick or garlic?

    How to distinguish winter and spring garlic? The rod, indeed, often occurs in winter crops, but not necessarily. The rod is a sign of the fact that this garlic shoots, and most often it is winter. But there are varieties of spring, which also shoot, then they will also have a rod. The number of teeth and their size also depend on the variety and growing conditions. Indeed, winter crops usually have larger teeth, but not fact. It is very unfortunate that the regions, these experiments, are not mentioned in the comments. In details they are true.

    February garlic
    Last year, I was forced to plant garlic in February. I know that no one does this, but still ventured.
    In general, this story began in June 2013 due to bad weather. At the beginning of summer, we had a very strong and large hail. On my site, lucky cucumbers and peppers. The first - because they were covered with spanbond, which, however, was torn from the accumulated ice, but withstood the main blow. I removed the cold blocks with my hands and covered the greenhouse with plastic wrap. And peppers grew in the southeast of the apple tree, also in the greenhouse. This tree took all the hail upon itself, because the cloud was coming from the north side. Because of the hail, small and weak garlic has grown. I wanted to buy planting material for winter garlic from people. But she did not gather, so the autumn passed without planting.
    February 2014 year, like the whole winter, was very warm, there was hardly any severe frost, there was a plus temperature. I dug up the area allocated for garlic, leveled it and put into the fossae already germinating teeth. In each poured a pinch of ash and dumped. In April she covered the plantings with herded manure, and in May, when they began mowing the lawn, she covered the garden with grass by humus.
    Mineral fertilizer was fed only once, and then quite a bit. It was watered a couple of times, but the weed did not have to at all - the mulch crushed the weeds.
    I took a good harvest of garlic, given that I used only small cloves, and also planted at inopportune time. After all, I did not hope that at least something would grow, and even more so - for an excellent result.

    Winter garlic always gives me a good harvest. In our lands, planting should be done in the second half of September, so that he could take root, but did not go into growth.
    I choose the largest bulbs from last year's harvest, carefully dividing into the teeth, so as not to break the roots.
    After that I disinfect - I wash it in a saline solution (1 a spoonful of salt on 1,5 l of water), then soak for a minute in a light pink solution of potassium permanganate.
    I choose a bed after beans or greens. I dig, I make peat. Then I make pits with a depth of 10 cm, a distance between them 7-8, see. I put some ash into the bottom, I stick the teeth, without pressing them, I fall asleep with the ground.
    When the cold comes, I hide garlic for the winter with straw or sprinkle with dry peat. I remove the shelter when warm weather sets in the spring.
    I wish all the summer residents rich yields!

    Garlic of decisive importance
    Garlic is an indispensable cure for many diseases, but it can also become ill. Failure to comply with agricultural technology, lack of nutrients, disease, pest attack can reduce or even destroy the crop.
    With a lack of nitrogen in garlic, the tops of the leaves turn yellow. Therefore, feed winter varieties in the spring, immediately after the snow falls. In the future, if necessary, pour the plants with a solution of urea (1 st.l on 10l water).
    If the leaves not only turn yellow, but also die off - probably the garlic was attacked by an onion fly or a nematode. In the fight against them, prevention is crucial. Treat planting material with a weak solution of potassium permanganate. Dig the soil for onions and garlic deeply, add acid-reducing additives (chalk, dolomite flour).
    If the leaves, after yellowing, curl, lag behind in growth or become covered with a dark coating, rotting of the bulbs begins, which means that the planting material and the soil are infected with fungi and bacteria. Try to renew the seed material and do not plant onion and garlic in this area for several years.
