Is this garlic from starts you've eaten, or did you buy special seed garlic?

There are many different kinds of garlic.



Hi Bob,

This one I bought from the local farm that moved on me.
I saw a basket in their office/store filled with purple
looking garlic. I asked it they were for eating or
growing. They said both. I have no memory of what kind of
garlic they said it was.

Funny thing, some of the clove wrappers came out more red
than purple. Maybe it is the nutrients in the soil.

I am currently growing "Purple Glazer" garlic to try and
reproduce it. But I won't be able to harvest till next
spring. So, now I wait.


Both the two garlics look like this:

There is a common red-purple organic dye in some vegetables. It is red in
more acid soil conditions and purple in more alkaline soil conditions.
