Heirloom Gourmet Garlic – In Containers
Home grown heirloom garlic has to be the best EVER! If your family is anything like our family, you put garlic in almost everything. It’s healthy, flavorful and can even be made into a spread if you bake it up. I hear it’s supposed to keep vampires away, but hey, Twilight kind of put a whole new light on that.
We grew our garlic varieties this year, in split 55 gallon drums. They grew beautifully!
So do you have any idea of how many types of heirloom and gourmet garlic are out there? Currently, I have 28 varieties in my own garden and that’s only a small portion of what’s available.
We also have a few extra lbs if you’re interested in growing any in your own garden. I’m happy to offer by the bulb or by the lb, but 1 lb per order is the limit. For personal use, you probably won’t need more than a couple bulbs to a half lb, to keep you into garlic for the season.
Here’s what we have….
Chesnok Red – Hard Neck variety 7-10 cloves per bulb. One of the best for baking and roasting. Medium Hot flavor and retains flavor when cooked.
Persian Star – Hard Neck variety Mild Spicy zing smaller bulbs with 4-6 cloves per bulb. Purple stripes with white smooth outer wrapper.
Purple Glazier – Hard Neck variety – deep purple cloves with 8-11 cloves per bulb. Strong tasting but not hot.
And we also have a couple varieties in bulbil form….
Extra Hardy German – Hard Neck variety
Mixed Gourmet Hard Necks
Shilla – Hard Neck variety
