| I've searched on this forum for the garlic mojo thread that was posted a couple months ago and can't find it. I tried it and it was delicious. I think for me the key was baking the garlic in oil instead of frying it. It didn't get bitter.
Anyways, I bought some CA garlic from the store and have refrigerated it for a couple months now. When is the prime time to plant and when is the latest to plant? My problem is that all my summer veggies are still going gangbusters so I don't want to pull those plants out yet. Last year I was picking okra until Christmas. Seems to happen every year and then I miss the winter and spring crops. |

| Ideal timing is Oct 1 through Nov 1, potentially okay through Dec 15th. The reference I use is the Urban Farm planting calendar. I often have the same problem only in reverse....garlic takes so long to mature, 5 to 7 months, I want the bed before it's ready to harvest. I'll plant a smaller crop this year to alleviate that issue. You may have to sacrifice some okra - or create another bed for the garlic. |

| I'm planning to put the garlic cloves in between other plants. Any reason that would not be OK? |

| toucan, I can't find the thread either, but here's the recipe for the garlic mojo. Enjoy. I cooked some tortellini last night and the only dressing I used was the mojo. It was delicious! |

| Great. Thank you. Does garlic work in pots? How moist to keep the soil? Thats my alternative to getting rid of my current veggies. |

| Now why didn't I think of that?? Looks like it's a can-do idea. Here's a link to a How To article. That's what I'll do this year. Thanks for the thought. Duh! |

| They have nice leaves and the scapes are kinda cool - why not put them in a flower bed? |
