When to plant garlic in Moldova: 1 October – end of December

Garlic in Moldova: plant from 1 October to the end of December; the window opens earliest in Bălți and closes latest in Cahul (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).
