Garlic is one of the most rewarding things you can grow on your own. Garlic bulbs are tasty, and they last a long time. While most varieties take around 9 months to mature when propagated from cloves, there are short-season varieties that take less time. The way you plant garlic has bearing on when it’s ready for harvest too. Some garlic types allow you to easily propagate from last year’s harvest and grow garlic again, while other harvested garlic is better for using right away.
Growing from Seed v Growing from Clove: Which type you choose to plant has bearing on your harvest time. While cloves take roughly 9 months from planting, garlic seeds take a year more than garlic bulbs (sometimes called bulbils). That’s because the seed has to germinate, grow the greenery necessary for photosynthesis, and then go through the process of bulb formation. When you plant cloves, the first half of the process is already complete.
Another consideration in knowing when you’ll harvest garlic is the planting time. There is also climate to consider. Soft-neck garlic is better when planted in warmer climates and hard-neck garlic is best planted in cooler climates. The differences between the two exist in their botany as well.
