Mild, but lasting flavor, with a hint of hot! Dense cloves store extremely well. Large 3″ + bulbs produce 8-20 cloves of good size. “Shallots are for babies onions are for men garlic is for heroes.” Here are the varieties we’re offering this year, and, here’s how we recommend planting your garlic.

OUR SECOND BATCH OF SEED GARLIC IS EXPECTED IN THE FIRST WEEK OF SEPTEMBER,and also includes three new varieties plus two fabulous ‘standards’! They are not certified organic but are grown without the use of chemicals. We are excited that WE JUST RECEIVED THREE VARIETIES OF SEED GARLIC, (two of them new!) that were locally grown on a small family farm called Long Shot Farm. Keeping garlic weeded and watered pays off. It thrives best in soil that’s teaming with microorganisms, enriched with organic amendments and fertilizers. The tops will grow whenever the temperature is above 40 degrees F. If the soil doesn’t freeze, the roots will continue to grow right through the winter. The central stalk makes a charmingly curled or twisted, edible ‘scape’ in mid-late spring.Īll around the temperate northern hemisphere, garlic has now been harvested and cured, ready for storing, eating and planting!! Garlic is cold-hardy, most being well-adapted in USDA zones ranging from 3 to 8. They possess a wide range of flavor nuances and degrees of heat. Hard-neck varieties grow with a strong central stalk, around which is a single ring of cloves, usually quite large and fat. Their flavors and spiciness are varied, and soft-neck garlic rarely sends up a stiff central stalk, so it can be made into beautiful garlic braids. Most soft-neck varieties make large bulbs which, when properly cured and stored, can be stored for many months. Soft-neck garlic grows a ring of large cloves around the perimeter of the bulb, plus another one or two rings of smaller cloves in the center. We offer varieties in the two major categories, soft-neck and hard-neck. The varieties that developed in different areas express the terroir of their locale, greatly influencing the local cuisines.
Garlic has been cultivated since very ancient times. By planting the largest cloves, you’ll be rewarded with a harvest of big, juicy bulbs. Seed garlic bulbs are specifically chosen for planting because they are the healthiest bulbs with the largest cloves, and they are intact. Know where your food comes from and what's in it and what's not.It’s time to buy your ‘seed’ garlic, which you should store in a cool, dry, well-ventilated place until planting time, from mid-October to mid-November. They are fabulous when cut into thin slices and sauteed your favorite meats or in soups and stews. Standard Purple Stripes are extremely sweet when roasted due to their naturally high sugar content. They have a creamy mellow garlickiness to their taste and about average pungency when Raw and with a long, warm aftertaste. They are beautiful garlics with a lot of purple striping and nearly solid color in the clove covers at times and lots of character and store well,
standard Purple Stripes are my hardneck benchmark garlics as I gauge all other hardecks taste/flavor on whether it is stronger or less strong than the standard Purple Stripes. They harvest in mid-season and store all the way through the following winter. Standard Purple Stripes and marvelous garlics with unique properties of elongated clove cover tips that can be four to six inches long and scapes that curl 3/4 ths of a loop before straightening up in the spring. I have seen it portrayed by an expert as a Rocambole though I wonder whether rockies can grow in tropical Vietnam? I have also seen a Vietnamese Red that is a standard Purple Stripe garlic from more than one grower so this description will be for the Purple Stripe Vietnamese Red. There is more than one kind of garlic known as Vietnamese Red.
