I have seven varieties of garlic going, I usually plant directly into my beds in the fall, but we had a huge rain maker last month and I felt the beds were too soaked. With the warmer indoor temps these babies really took off. Warmer tvan average temperatures are forecasted so maybe I can get these I to their permanent homes in a couple weeks!

Not sure if you know it but hardneck needs 6-8 weeks of freezing cold under ground to form a bulb the next summer,Down south where it rarely freezes soft neck is what works plant in jan harvest in the fall.

These varieties do well even in the mild winters we have here.
