When to plant garlic in Townsville
We don't have planting times for garlic in Townsville yet.
Worked out from 30 years of climate records for Townsville. Microclimates vary: frost hollows and hills run later.
Planted as cloves in autumn and harvested in late spring to early summer, garlic is easy and stores for months. Use Australian-grown planting garlic, not imported supermarket bulbs, which are often treated and may carry disease. Keep it weeded and stop watering once the leaves start to yellow.
