When to plant garlic in Peru: 26 March – end of June

Garlic in Peru: plant from 26 March to the end of June; the window opens earliest in Puno and closes latest in Cusco (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).
