Probably is too late,I always plant in March,however it does depend on your soil temperature,why not plant them nothing to lose and cover with black plastic which will raise the Temp of the soil. As soon as the green shoots come through remove the cover.

Hi All, First time planting garlic. Cloves in start of June, came up beautifully, but the leaves (some - not all) are yellowing and they dont look happy. We have had a run of seriously horrible frosts - would that do it ?. thanks

Which type is best for Uganda, when is the best planting period, and when to harvest it? Also, is it possible to have 2 planting seasons in a single year?

Should I peel the garlic clove before I plant it? How constantly should it be watered?

The cloves should be planted unpeeled - just split the head of garlic apart.

Hi Melissa, the answer is no, don't peel the garlic clove before planting, after breaking it off from the big clove just put it straight into your pot or garden, just remember to put its tip pointing up, it should be watered regularly, I usually water it at least every other day and is growing beautifully, hope this helps!
