In spring they shoot up quickly and are ready much earlier than normal spring planted onion sets.<\/p>\n<p>Garlic is usually sold as a bulb that you split into the different segments similar to an orange. Each segment is planted 6 inches apart about 2 inches below the soil surface. Garlic is best planted in autumn as it roots into the soil and continues to grow leaf over the winter.
