Montana Zemo
Montana Zemo is a garlic planted in the fall, soon after the first frost and a few weeks before the first hard frost. The seed garlic bulbs should be taken apart into separate cloves not long before planting. Hardneck garlic requires vernalization (exposure to a period of cold temperatures) before or after planting. Plant cloves two inches deep, the pointed side up. Garlic does best with loose soil with very good drainage and a pH of 7.0 optimum. Plant in an area with full sun exposure.
