I agree. You get some generic, stiffneck spanish roja and that stuff
is great around here....'course, I put about 500 lbs of compost into
the dirt every year Elephant garlic was a big disappointment,
same with softneck varieties.

And by the way, garlic is at $2.99 / lb around here I've still got
4 braids to go.

Sorry; my personal preference. Elephant garlic isn't reliably hardy for me
unless I put a thick mulch over it, and the finished produce is, well, like
kissing your sister. But it certainly is impressive, if the market is the
objective.
