The Garlic Is Planted

I finally got my Garlic planted yesterday.


Two different hardneck varieties:

Music - my favorite because the cloves are large, but not too large, and most of the time there are about 5 cloves per bulb.


And Georgian Crystal - a close second with super large cloves but only about 2-3 cloves per bulb.


I'm actually starting to think the Georgian Crystal cloves are just a little bit too big....I mean...holy cow!


BTW: For the past few years I've been calling this variety "Bogatyr" or "Bogarty" by mistake.  Some sort of mix-up when it was given to me the first time. A local expert recently corrected me....she could tell just by looking at it that it was actually Georgian Crystal.

Anyways, they are all tucked in their bed now....ready for winter.


All of the large cloves were planted using about 9 inch spacing, all the medium cloves were planted using 4 inch spacing, and all of the small cloves were planted using 2 inch spacing. And the whole bed is mulched with seaweed and leaves gathered from the beach.


Yum..................I can't wait for next year!
