Garlic is Planted!



The Samarkand has nice large cloves.  I saved the best for planting!



I first marked the rows with a board, approximately six inches apart. 



This is the dibber tool that I repurposed to make a hole for each clove.
 I think it was once used for soldering.



Plant the clove root end down.  Duh!
6 to 8 inches apart, 2 inches deep.





 
 







I have labeled each bed with the variety of garlic.
 I misspelled 'Samarkand' when painting the stakes. 
Oops!  I don't think  I will sleep at night knowing this is amiss...

 







The Inchelium Red bed-- planted, mulched and labeled.
