This is the good stuff: North German Red, Polish Carpathian, Bogatyr, Killarney Red, Siberian, and another type of German Hard Neck. Much better and more robust flavors. It's also very easy for me to grow here in Maryland. The hard necks, from what I've read like a good cold winter, which is why it's hard to grow them way down south, like in Texas. My sister's the real farmer though. She got me started. Maybe she'll pop in here and fill you in a little more. Basically here, I plant cloves after the first hard freeze. That kills off any flying insects that might have laid eggs. Then ignore them until late Spring early summer here.VVhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08751403913379728345noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3453225790730931112.post-25076811134443910912011-03-10T17:57:29.333-05:002011-03-10T17:57:29.333-05:00yummy!

She mentioned I was growing garlic and he said he would buy it. His restaurant is 3 blocks from my house. You don't get much more local than that.VVhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08751403913379728345noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3453225790730931112.post-9564059089640699502011-03-10T00:21:31.231-05:002011-03-10T00:21:31.231-05:00It could lead to something you never expected. :) ...It could lead to something you never expected. :) I keep trying to convince J, to only grow garlic and market it to wegmans or one of the other chains that buy local.
