Exotic Garlic bulb stock
Anybody know of a local source for less common kinds of garlic like that
available at Filaree Farms or similar suppliers? I have purchased a few online already but was hoping to find creole varieties locally. Roland |

These come from www.thegarlicstore.com Thanks, I will try and swing by and see if they still have some. California early and late are basically grocery store garlic. I plan on planting some of this because it is very reliable and does well in places with warm winters. I do not know much about Morado Gigante. Some of the best varieties for eating (Rocambole) do not do well in our area because they need real winters for bulb formation. I bought the hardneck sampler (Chesnook, Spanish Roja, Siberian, and Georgian fire) from thegarlicstore.com - unfortunately, they all seem iffy in our area. I also am expecting a mystery package from Filaree farms which may or may not contain stuff suitable for our area. So I was hoping to find reputedly tasty varieties that might do well locally.

I plan on planting some of this because it is very reliable and does well in places with warm winters. I do not know much about Morado Gigante. This is what it says on the slip: A hardneck originating in Chile, its wrappers can sometimes achieve a deep burgundy hue. Up to eight large, plump cloves from a lovely, symmetrical bulb. The flavor has been described as "smooth" and "lush", but without searing heat.

Roland This is my first year actually planting garlic. I have no idea why I never planted it before. We love onions and garlic. So, I raise a glass to our first effort. Victoria |
