When to plant garlic in Russia: 19 August – end of December

Garlic in Russia: plant from 19 August to the end of December; the window opens earliest in Yakutsk and closes latest in Krasnodar (76 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).
