Bulbs we keep for the next planting
After six weeks of curing under cover, we clean and sort the garlic. Rather than sending the largest, finest bulbs to the kitchen, we keep them for planting. This is how we select the seed garlic from the same harvest grown in our field in Gaberje. The price is €22 per kilogram.
The seed garlic is hardneck autumn garlic and has not been treated with sprout inhibitors. On our farm, we plant it in late October.
How much bed you can plan for with one kilogram
One kilogram of seed garlic gives around 60 plants. At the recommended spacing of 12–15 cm, this is enough for approximately 8–10 linear metres of bed. Use these figures to plan your order before separating the individual bulbs into cloves.
Each clove is one planting unit and should be planted separately. Place it in the bed with the pointed end up, around 5 cm deep. Because clove sizes vary, around 60 plants is a useful estimate rather than an exact number of pieces in every kilogram.
Planting time, reservations and pickup
Plant autumn garlic from mid-October to mid-November, around three to four weeks before the first frost. In our field, we plant it by hand in late October. Position each clove with the pointed end up, around 5 cm deep and 12–15 cm from the next clove.
We prepare seed garlic in late September, just before the planting season, and you can reserve it earlier. Free pickup is available at Gaberje, Kratka 4, Lendava. If you need delivery, availability, method and price are agreed after the WhatsApp order.
