Nice looking garlic. I planted some Siberian Garlic in one bed. Several years ago, I planted some garlic, and have been planting some of those cloves every since.

Wish I could remember the name, so I could order some more. I looked back through the files, but wasn’t able to find what it was I ordered, so I just make sure to save some to plant.

I grow garlic that has large bulbs but it is not elephant garlic.

I THINK it’s a variety called Great Northern, which found in a Territorial Seeds catalog.

Anyways, I’ve saved enough and grown enough over the years, that now I plant about 100 cloves to get almost that many bulbs and then share them with friends and my kids.

I think it’s a hardneck variety and I hear the softneck stores better but is not as cold tolerant. I live in CNY and it needs to be able to survive the winter.

Anyone have any good suggestions?
