This hardneck garlic has grown on our homestead for over five decades. Spencer's grandma Lucille planted it around the Concord grape vines and I have since rehomed them around the vegetable garden beds.
It thrives in the heavy clay soil here and is a carefree, easy plant-n-forget vegetable. It sends out scapes in spring that are also good eating and reliably produces medium sized bulbs late summer. We harvested over 300 beautiful heads of garlic this year. October is a perfect for planting and I put in a hundred cloves this week.
