One little clove makes a whole new bulb. If you aren't able to get them planted this fall, you can plant in the spring, but the bulbs don't get as big. <br /><br />I've read that garlic in the store is usually from China, and it won't grow in our climate, but I suppose that depends on where you live. Check out The Garlic Store and other sources online. There are dozens of varieties!Deborah Niemannhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10754242197245805551noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21054991.post-47065843149300353472009-09-25T08:03:29.170-05:002009-09-25T08:03:29.170-05:00Are you planting seeds, or cloves?

They say that you can plant from cloves, but I'm looking for some varieties that I can't readily get at my supermarket . . . might have to make a run to the nursery this weekend! :)<br /><br />Best,<br />SarahSarahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04904001311262731237noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21054991.post-47995242784408022662009-09-17T13:01:23.862-05:002009-09-17T13:01:23.862-05:00Thanks for the reminder about garlic.

But it was enough to prove that garlic will grow here. I'll let you know what I decide on.CONEFLOWERhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13547544109039910307noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21054991.post-83584520273413916152009-09-16T08:30:09.025-05:002009-09-16T08:30:09.025-05:00I've ordered from http://www.thegarlicstore.co...I've ordered from http://www.thegarlicstore.com in the past and was happy with what I received. After I posted, I clicked on the Seed Saver link to make sure it worked, and it looks like the only variety they have left is the German extra hardy.Deborah Niemannhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10754242197245805551noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21054991.post-27982988796390603652009-09-16T07:18:22.922-05:002009-09-16T07:18:22.922-05:00I'm so glad you posted this.

I did an awful job with my summer garden (I had lots of help from the groundhogs, too) but I thought since we all love garlic I would plant some this fall. Then I promptly forgot.<br /><br />Do you have any recommendations about where to get garlic this late?Crickethttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17715978288018800117noreply@blogger.com
