watering
Water garlic (Allium sativum 'Music') regularly but do not overwater. Keep the soil evenly moist, but not soggy. Water when the soil feels dry about 1 inch (2.54 cm) below the surface. Avoid watering during the hotter hours of the day to help reduce the chances of mildew and rot. During summer months, provide garlic with 1 to 1.5 inches (2.54-3.81 cm) of water per week. In the cooler months, reduce watering to every 10-14 days.
sunlight
Garlic (Allium sativum 'Music') grows best when exposed to full sunlight for 6 to 8 hours a day. It should be grown in a spot with good air circulation and should be placed in a location that receives at least a moderate amount of sunlight all day. Morning sun is best for garlic, and it can tolerate some afternoon shade. In warm climates, put garlic in a location that will receive a bit of shade during the hottest part of the day.
pruning
