Scored at the Ozark seed Swap today . Got 5 nice bulbs , do I
break them into cloves and plant now ?


i've never had them before. if they are easily
broken apart into cloves then i would break them
apart before planting.


I ended up being one of the people that lay their stuff out on a
table . I had a lot more to swap this year . Brought home a lot too
... I need more garden space .


it would be fun to do that someplace here.

what else did you bring home?

Clay peas , skunk peas and snap peas . Black oil sunflowers , giant indian
corn , orange bell peppers , cilantro and white liatris . Butternut squash ,
2 kinds of watermelons , and peach cantalopes - the size of a peach ,
cantalope flavor "with a whang" . A very old variety , supposed to make a
very nice jam/jelly . Also got some flat leaf parsley , pink hibiscus and
one called "sweet root" , supposed to smell like licorice when bruised .
