Fall Garlic Watering Schedule #887943

Asked October 15, 2024, 2:23 AM EDT

Hi there! I planted garlic for the first time this autumn and was wondering when to stop watering for the fall season? We have our first freeze warning tonight, but the weather is forecasted to warm up considerably again this next week/end— moving back out of the freeze potential. Should I water once it warms back up, and stop when the freeze is consistent, or stop watering since the first freeze is tonight?

Thanks for your question.

You could stop watering your garlic at any time. Be sure to cover all the planted garlic with two to three inches of wood mulch. See the following for some further information:
