Default garlic

Guess I'm boring. I went to Whole Foods and planted whatever the organic
garlic they have is. It works though and keeps me in home grown garlic.

I just planted mine on sunday:
georgian crystal, northern white, german white, persian star, brown
tempest, pskem, red rezan, purple glazer, temptress, german red, italian
red, russian red, korean red, riesig

northern white from Ireland Farm and german white from Mele Farm are
both impressive for size. I have also done very well with brown tempest.

riesig is one that I know nothing about. Any info would be appreciated.

Well, Columbus day marks the traditional hardneck planting time here
in the eastern US which means of course that I haven't done it yet.

Got the bed prepared though, and will crack them and stick them in on
Saturday.

I decided to expand and try a few new ones this year.

I've got German Red, Music Pink, Chesnok Red, Persian Star,
Romanian Red, Spanish Roja, Red Rezan, Siberian, and Russian Red.

Anyone else?
