so I bought a garlic sampler a couple years ago. the varieties here are georgian crystal, russian red, and music. i save the largest cloves to replant in november. i’m sure to plant a 3-4 cloves around each fruit tree as they help keep insects and other pests at bay.

this was a great year for garlic. the bulbs seem to be getting bigger every year - partly because i save the biggest cloves to replant, but my soil condition keeps improving every year too with all the compost and manure i’ve been adding. feels good to make that progress and enjoy the fruits of that labor.

300 is a ton. are you selling that black garlic? i’d definitely like to try making that at some point. we’re just going to use it mostly for cooking. freezing with olive oil is a great idea too.

I planted a little extra as some I had stored started to shoot. Given the rot problems I've had the last couple of years, I could do with the backup reserves.

I don't normally sell the black garlic, but it makes a great gift for friends and family, it's reasonably expensive to buy (for good stuff).

This is the black garlic maker I have (random site that sells them, not sure what your local supplier would be): https://www.tradewheel.com/p/professional-black-garlic-fermentersf-g500-1903770/

It's Chinesium, but seems to work pretty well and is easy to use. If you get one, run it outside, unless you want your entire house to smell like black garlic.
