Allium sativum -
BECKY’S GARLIC
|
$2
|
|
|
A variety of garlic given to me by an organic gardener, Becky, who said it was a heritage variety from Nebraska. It does seem well adapted here and it is now the largest variety I grow with stalks to six feet and the individual cloves the largest I have seen. It does save you time peeling when you are making hummus. Since the cloves are so large there are only four or five to a bulb so what I am offering here are the bulbils produced at the top of the scape so you will not get the really big cloves until your second year–but worth waiting for. Approx. 15 bulbils.

This is a mixture of “hard-neck” varieties of garlic–these types seem to do much better in cold climates than the soft-neck types–they also keep longer.
