Re: Fig tree/garlic help needed

In most parts of this country garlic is planted in the Fall for harvest
the next summer, but where you are you may be able to plant and harvest
in the same year (Spring to late Summer/Fall).

Harvest should occur when the stems loose their green and their tops fall
over.  Garlic is planted from one clove which should grow into a bulb
with many cloves, one of which you can plant next year (etc.)

Good luck!

P.S.:  Don't know squat about fig trees---they don't do well in
Pennsylvania.
