When to plant garlic in France: 25 September – end of December

Garlic in France: plant from 25 September to the end of December; the window opens earliest in Grenoble and closes latest in Paris (43 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).
