  • Creole Garlic, Aglio Rosso – 4 oz

    Nov 14, 2020

    NEW! CREOLE GARLIC, Aglio Rosso Allium Sativum FULL SUN The Creole Group of garlics is most valued because they are well suited to hot southern growing climates and tolerant of early-season heat and drought. At one time they were known as Southern Continental (referring to the European Continent) and many of the cultivars grown in the United States today originated in Spain. In the Southwest, these garlics are known as “Mexican Purple”. Creoles have fine taste and are good storers. Though the bulbs are not large, the exquisite flavor of the cloves more than makes up for the size. The bulbs and cloves are incredibly beautiful with clove skins in a range of shades of deep reddish purple. Aglio Rosso is a fairly new introduction to the United

  • Turban Garlic, Red Janice – 4 oz

    Nov 14, 2020

    NEW! TURBAN GARLIC, Red Janice Allium Sativum FULL SUN Turbans are so named because of the shape of their flower head which forms at the end of the ‘scape’ they produce. The Turban plants do not look very robust. The stems are short, and the leaves are spaced far apart giving the plant a straggly appearance. It is not unusual for the stems to bend at the soil level and topple over as harvest time approaches. The word best associated with Turbans is earliest. These garlics should be the first to be harvested, sometimes 3-4 weeks before the other garlics. Harvesting should take place as soon as the top two leaves begin to turn. They also have the shortest storage capability, but they are

  • Porcelain Garlic, Leningrad – 4 oz

    Nov 14, 2020

    NEW! PORCELAIN GARLIC, Leningrad Allium Sativum FULL SUN Porcelain Garlics are hardnecks. Most varieties have pure white skins and cloves so large that they are often mistaken for elephant garlic. The individual cloves are usually crystal white, hence the name Porcelain. Porcelain Garlics produce the tallest plants of all garlic cultivars. Some Porcelain plants can reach a height of 7 feet. Each bulb contains 4-6 giant cloves with 4 cloves being the norm. The cloves are arranged in a single layer – no small interior cloves and the cloves are easy to peel. Unlike most hardnecks, Porcelains are fairly good storers. The plants are very, very cold hardy, flourishing in Hardiness Zones1-4, but surprisingly the Porcelains also grow well in warmer climates. Porcelains, more than any other garlic cultivars,

  • Rocambole Garlic, Killarney Red – 4 oz

    Jun 08, 2020

    NEW! ROCAMBOLE GARLIC, Killarney Red Allium Sativum FULL SUN Native to south-central Asia, garlic was probably domesticated from a single variety, Allium longicuspis, thousands of years ago. Today the plant is grown on every continent except Antarctica. Garlic is best when planted in the fall, but can be planted in the spring as soon as the ground can be worked. If planting in the fall, plant 30 days before the ground freezes and mulch with straw or alfalfa hay if possible. Garlic must have some exposure to cold for several weeks or it will not bulb. Amend the soil with potash and phosphate before planting. Plant the cloves 1-2 in. deep and 4-6 in. apart in rows separated by 12-18 in. Harvest in mid-summer when 2/3 of the stalk

  • Creole Garlic, Rose Du Lautrec – 4 oz

    Jun 08, 2020

    NEW! CREOLE GARLIC, Rose Du Lautrec Allium Sativum FULL SUN Rose Du Lautrec is the legendary “Pink Garlic” of France. It has been grown for centuries in southwestern France where legend has it that a traveling merchant could not pay for his dinner and so offered to trade the rare, stunningly colored garlic. It is the clove wrappers that are pink, not the cloves themselves which are creamy white. This garlic is well known in France but very rare in the United States. The bulbs produce 8-10 cloves and have good flavor.

  • Artichoke Garlic, Lors Italian – 4 oz

    Jun 08, 2020

    ARTICHOKE GARLIC, Lors Italian Allium Sativum FULL SUN Lorz Italian, is an heirloom garlic that was brought to the United States, specifically Washington State’s Columbia Basin, in the 1800s by the Lorz family. This garlic is very productive and well adapted to summer heat, but can be grown in much cooler climates. Unlike many Artichoke cultivars, there are very few small inner cloves. Each bulb produces 12-19 cloves. Perhaps the most outstanding feature of this garlic is its exceptional flavor. Most Artichoke cultivars have mild flavor, but Lorz Italian has a rich, complex flavor devoid of vegetative or other less desirable characteristics. Garlic is best when planted in the fall, but can be planted in the spring as soon as the ground can be worked. If planting in

    Georgian Crystal Garlic Every Cook’s Dream - Garlic Varieties with the Largest Cloves Harvesting History’s garlic comes from Upstate New York and the Oshkanogan Valley of Washington State. Both farms are certified nematode-free and organic. Our supplier in Washington State has been organic for 24 years. Our supplier in Upstate New York has been organic for 14 years. This year an extremely rare amalgamation of meteorological circumstances happened this spring to produce the best growing conditions for garlic in many, many decades. The spring was incredibly wet and this was followed by a somewhat drier and cooler early-to-mid summer. The garlic LOVED this and most varieties have produced the biggest individual cloves I have ever seen. For those of you who are seasoned garlic growers, you know to plant the largest
