When to plant garlic in Bolivia: 3 January – end of June

Garlic in Bolivia: plant from 3 January to the end of June; the window opens earliest in Potosí and closes latest in La Paz (3 cities).

From a month before the first autumn frost, so the roots grow before winter, to the late-planting limit on each crop’s page (about two weeks before the ground freezes, by ten years of weather).
