I plant my cloves about 2" deep, Mary. However, our ground never freezes. You might want to check with your Extension Service about planting in Anchorage, particularly if your soil does freeze several inches below the service.

Sorry, Ken, I just couldn't help myself... a couple of winters ago the ground here froze down to 6 feet !

I do realize that's hard for you dyed-in-the-wool southerners to comprehend, though -- sometimes I find it a bit hard to comprehend myself!

Mary, I plant mine about 4" deep, but I think Ken's suggestion to check with the Extension Service or something of the sort is a very good one
