Allium Sativum

Garlic, sweet, garlic. 











Even as small as these shoots are, they smell heavenly.  And as each variety of garlic will have its own distinctive flavor, each shoot has a unique scent.

We purchased our garlic bulbs from Seed Savers Exchange.  Their selection is great and have never failed to produce.  We have Chet's Italian Red, German Extra Hardy and Georgian Fire growing.  The name of the forth variety escapes me right now.
