[...] it gets cold enough they stop growing. Most of garlic’s growth is in the spring which is why some people plant it then. I’ve never done that but I don’t think the flavor would be as good or that the garlic [...]

WOW! That harvest looks beautiful! I love garli,. My favorite recipe is finely chopped garlic(preferably a whole bunch) olive oil, pepper, salt all mixed together then spread on a loaf of bread and baked until light brown. Yummy!

I’m waiting for my garlic to be delivered. Can’t wait to get it planted – it’s one of my favourite crops. :-)

I had a high percentage of Music bulbs that have produced only 2 or 3 cloves per bulb this year. They are massive cloves though. No one around here seemed to know if that was a ‘normal’ occurrence in years of stress but I’ve just had a reply from the “garlic guru”, publisher of The Garlic News, and he says that it is very common for Porcelain-type garlics to produce only 2 or 3 cloves in years of stress. If one plants those massive cloves, they will (if next year isn’t a year of stress) produce a 4- or 5-clove bulb. Good news! :)

I’m curious…across Canada…what are you selling your garlic for? I’m selling it for $6.00/lb, chemical-free (ie: non-cert org) in Winnipeg. A friend who sells at the biggest farmers’ market outside Wpg is selling her cert org Music for $6.50/lb. I saw on one BC website it was going for $10/lb!!

As a market gardener and host of a CSA I have seen first hand and from other farmers as well that Music Garlic is one of the preferred garlics to plant here in central NC. Planting in December works well for me. Buying locally is the next best thing to growing your own. Great to keep garlic in the kitchen for flavor and health. Nice blog, thanks for your efforts.

I believe this is the site your looking for: http://www.ecosophyfarm.com/garlic.html
Warren Leitzel, Ecosophy Farm, 123 Blue Heron Drive, Woodward, PA 16882
I just did a search with ” Warren & Music Garlic.” Price comparison, say to Johnny’s:
5 lbs. Johnny’s: $84.50
Warren’s: $60.00
Maybe you can get a discount with a purchase of a greater amount.
