Hi All,

My Bella Italino garlic are so much different to any garlic that I have grown before. The leaves are splayed out , they are only 3 to 4 inches tall whereas my Vayo garlic are standing 7 to 8 inches tall. It will be interesting to see how they evolve as the season progresses.

It is a hardneck variety which would normally have a stem not long after showing through the soil, however as yet there is no sign of a stem. The leaves are approximately 6 inches long and 5 in number, however they certainly look healthy enough.

I must admit that I am intrigued with the way in which this garlic grows.


The mind is like a parachute its totally useless unless open
