Elephant garlic is huge! Grow that.

I've never grown garlic, is it hard to grow?

 

[mayeeta]

I love Music garlic. Large bulb and very flavorful.

Garlic is one of the easiest things to grow, but it takes about 10 months to grow.

Garlic plants are meant to good to keep the aphids away.

I have Gnildir's "Fireball Garlic" pickled with Bhuts....does that count?

Sure wakes up the pasta..

Garlic is so cheap to buy here, it's not worth growing really.

Growing some Wild garlic ( or Ramsons) and some Garlic Solent Wight,The wild is amazing to use for cooking but goes a little crazy and grows really fast

Ramsons is great! But take care to harvest the leaves before it blooms. And it tends to invade the whole yard.

Which variety do you grow?

 

[pepperfever]

What little I know about garlic is that colder areas need to grow hard neck because it keeps longer in storage. We changed the garden around so I don't have any garlic planted this year.

I have no idea to be honest!!! I always like to know what I am growing, but in this case I really can't say!

My grandmother made the best pickles with whole garlic cloves in the jar. The garlic was better than the pickles!

 

[talas]

Yes it is a bit rampant

 

[cheezydemon]

?

 

[Armadillo]

Yeah. Harvesting it all and taking care of the harvest before it blooms can be hard sometimes. I love ramsons soup and cream cheese with ramsons. Did you try to combine it with peppers? Which combine best? I could imagine that straight hot ones like cayenne with a not so fruity flavor might work best.
