You asked

What can I plant this month?

Monty

Near Portland in late fall: garlic, shallots and fava beans. Garlic is the easiest. Push each clove in pointy end up, 2 in deep, and leave it till July.

Out in the garden, one thumb free.

Ask Monty anything

Your season, your soil, your frost dates. Plain answers, steps first.

Monty

Dry until Sunday afternoon. I’d get the garlic in tomorrow, pointy end up.
