Part 3/8:

Jordan emphasized the importance of planting larger garlic cloves. Conducting an experiment where he planted small versus large cloves, he discovered that bigger cloves resulted in a more than doubling of total harvest weight. For those starting out, it's advisable to purchase jumbo cloves from nurseries or specialized garlic kits, which contain the largest available cloves.

Selecting a Planting Location

Another critical consideration is where to plant the garlic. Jordan shared his personal experience of planting in a shaded area, resulting in poor harvest. He encouraged participants to find the sunniest spot in their garden since garlic thrives in full sunlight. If garlic is a priority crop, it should be allocated the best sunny real estate available.
