I got into garlic "futures" last fall -
Poked a whole bunch of cloves in the ground - and now they're sprouting up right good. Nothing like fresh, out of the ground garlic. You never want that 6 months old stuff from the store again.
A friend way up north plowed up a half acre last fall to plant garlic. It's really a good money crop - a more stable market too. ;o)
A whole acre?! Garlic sounds so good right now. Some olive oil roasted garlic spread on crusty baguette. Worth its’ weight in silver. 8>)
