Our seed garlic is looking beautiful and ready to ship! We have two hardneck varieties, naturally grown on a farm in Vermont. (We are already sold out of Music Garlic.)
-
German White Garlic: With its timeless, robust essence, the German White hails from Northern European culinary traditions. It bears a close resemblance Music, but German White has marginally more cloves that are a tad smaller.
-
German Red Garlic (order here): Another robust heirloom hailing from Germany, German Red is cherished for its bold, spicy flavor. With large, easy-to-peel cloves and exceptional cold-hardiness, German Red garlic has been another staple in our fields for years.
Features:
- Grown using organic systems: Free from synthetic interventions, this garlic benefits from the holistic approach of regenerative systems, which enriches the soil, invigorates plant growth and preserves a balanced ecosystem.
- Bulb Details: Large heads: 2" + heads. Anticipate approximately 6-8 bulbs per pound, translating to 30-40 cloves. This quantity suffices to plant around 15-20 linear feet with a 6” spacing.
- Inspected & Clean: Rest easy knowing each bulb undergoes meticulous inspection, ensuring they're free from mites and other diseases.
Growing Instructions:
- Planting Time: Best results are achieved when cloves are planted in fall, about 4-6 weeks before the onset of frost. Many growers swear by Columbus Day.
- Spacing: Space cloves 4-6 inches apart and 3-4 rows per bed 6-8" between rows.
- Depth: Each clove should be positioned with its pointed end skywards, buried roughly 2 inches deep.
- Care: Regular watering is paramount, more so during dry stretches. Mulching proves advantageous for moisture retention and inhibiting weeds.
- Harvest: By mid-summer, when most of the lower leaves adopt a brownish hue, it's harvest time. Extract with care by digging and subsequently allow the garlic to cure in a location offering both dryness and ventilation.
