"These widely adapted garlics are easy to grow and will keep 10 months. Plant 6"" apart in spring and early fall. Produces larger cloves than most softnecks, so it's easier to handle. Better adapted to summer heat, too. Sweet, mild garlic flavor. Sun.
Fall planting: Plant cloves in mid-autumn in a sunny location with rich, well-drained soil. Set cloves root side down 4-6"" apart in rows 1-1/2 to 2-feet apart, and cover with 1-2"" of fine soil. In the North, put down 6"" of mulch for winter protection. Garlic may begin growth late in fall or early in spring. "

This Garlic Is A Winner!,
May 6, 2009 Submitted byOrganicMan from Charlotte, NC
"I recieved the heads (4) of garlic and separated the cloves and planted them immediately around the parameter of my garden. Within one week, the green shoots were peeking up from the ground and within 3 months, I had beautiful perfect heads of garlic to roast, chop, mince or infuse into oils and vinegars. Very prolific!"

"I planted this last fall and all of the plants wintered over. I have only harvested one bulb (to see how it was doing) and the results are awesome. Large bulb of garlic with a great flavor. Would definitely recommend this."

So easy to grow,
September 27, 2007 Submitted bysmilydutchgirl
"Last fall was my first time growing Garlic, I used fresh soil already fertilized for vegetable gardening, planted the cloves according to the clear directions, and watered only when the weather was dry, and kept the area weed free. In late fall I was able to harvest some garlic stems that I used in stiffrys, like green onions. Then over the winter it went dorment, and as soon as the ice melted new shoots came up, in spring when I was ready to plant my tomatoes etc, I was able to harvest the garlic, I had heard that it was hard to grow garlic, but every clove I planted turned out to be a nice large bulb of garlic, It is now fall 07 and I am still using the garlic I harvested last spring, I havent had to buy any in the store. This is great stuff!"
