I don't see garlic on this list, but I've read and believed to plant it in fall. I didn't order it because I have always seen it in the stores, but this year I can't find it anywhere. We don't have many choices (Home depot, Walmart garden) but they looked at me like I'm nuts when I asked. Today I'm going to the health food store see if they have organic, hopefully that will sprout. Safeway had none in their organic produce. Is there a garlic shortage this year?
