To avoid these diseases plant only healthy cloves, manage weeds in the garden, and take care not to injure garlic bulbs while working in the garden. Plant garlic in an area where no onions, chives, leeks, shallots or garlic have been planted for the past 4 years.
Garlic forms bulbs, which separate into many cloves, each covered with a white-purplish or pinkish, papery sheath. Most commercial garlic is grown in the mild climate of northern California. These varieties of garlic will not grow well in Minnesota, and will develop a hot flavor. When choosing garlic for your garden, use varieties adapted to cold climates. Note that elephant garlic is a type of leek, not a true garlic. Garlic varieties are broadly placed into two categories - hardneck and softneck types. Hardneck varieties produce a flowering stalk, called a scape, while softneck varieties do not.
