GreenlyWhen to plant garlic in Johannesburg
In Johannesburg, garlic: plant around 6 May, a month before the first autumn frost.
Last spring frost around 4 August, first autumn frost around 5 June. Frost-free days: 305 days.
The dates follow the Greenly calendar: open ground a week after the last frost once the soil is warm enough for the crop, frost-hardy crops three weeks before it, an unheated greenhouse three weeks earlier, seedlings sown so they are ready on the day. In a cold year allow a week or two more.
