interesting/novelty/really tasty garlic recommendations
« on: September 13, 2009, 19:51 »
i've planted out 2 bulbs of early purple wight, which we grew this year, and was pretty successful. However, these only filled up half the bed that i'd planned to allocate to them (i'm rubbish at working out how much space things will take up -- or remembering how much I ordered last year!)...

so i have space for two more bulbs, and thought I'd see what people recommended. softneck? elephant? albanian? (I might have misread that in the last catalogue perusal). would be good to do something we can't buy at the farm market.

I know it's down to taste, but I thought elephant "garlic" to a total waste of space the one and only year I grew it. Big on size, small on flavour.
Did it really tell you to do THAT on the packet?
