I remember it being tasty, maybe I'll have to try it again, if it will tolerate cooler weather. <br /><br />85 heads of garlic, almost enough to last a year. :) This year I'm experimenting with freezing chopped garlic in olive oil, I expect it will probably taste better than my garlic that comes out of storage in winter.michellehttp://fromseedtotable.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3215310042560560686.post-23199054060507008242010-06-28T21:04:44.806-04:002010-06-28T21:04:44.806-04:00Beautiful tomato!

You cover it with some straw and it comes up in the spring. You can buy garlic to plant on-line. I purchase mine from organic growers at the garlic festival here in September. I also plant some that I grew.Robinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12220238404223196571noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3215310042560560686.post-50461487202309365852010-06-28T19:38:21.343-04:002010-06-28T19:38:21.343-04:00I started my vegetable garden too late this year t...I started my vegetable garden too late this year to plant any garlic, but I definitely want to try to plant some for the next season. Robin, your garlic harvest is just impressive! Does garlic bulb have to be specially ordered for planting? I don't remember seeing any at my local nursery, but that could be because it was already too late.thyme2gardenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06512569281844698265noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3215310042560560686.post-70746105880378765092010-06-28T19:27:25.711-04:002010-06-28T19:27:25.711-04:00Oh what a fabulous CP tomato.
