Can not find any info as to whether creole has allicin content comparable to stronger hard neck varieties. Does anybody here know?

I grow Music and an unidentified Asiatic in Zone 5B and, once properly cured, both keep well into the next year's harvest. I'm also one of those compulsive experimenters who grow from bulbils so that I have tender and mild spring garlic (the whole plant is edible at this stage) to make moretum, a type of ancient Roman garlic pesto.

[@ogadlogadl490]

How large do you let your bulbils get before harvesting them? I bury my food scraps in trenches in the garden and I had tons of garlic pop up this year, saved the bulbils to replant as an experiment. I am also in 5b.

Chesnok is russian for garlic, so it's just garlic red. 😂

If you still do Ashland or Medford markets I’d love to buy all your leftover garlic if you ever have any some week if on your way back to Williams you could dropoff in Talent for additional fee!?

Grew Music garlic this summer...it's great

[@skinlessphreak]

Last year I grew music and German white, both grew great for me, and my wife noticed no difference. This year I planted all German white. The average was bigger then music but I still had a few monster musics.

I enjoyed your presentation. Thank you. One correction I would like to make is your statement that elephant garlic is botanically related to a leak. All garlic are related to leeks and for that matter onions. There is no evidence that elephant garlic is closer related than any of the garlic varieties. It is a talking point that someone made somewhere and people repeat it without realizing it is not scientifically factual.

[@jabbaraedwards8395]

I just got Walla Walla at a farmers market in Portland. Is it related to any of these? It’s red.

good stuff

You don't really know what your talking about, there are two main types of Garlic that's correct, Soft neck Allium Sativum Sativum and Hard neck Allium Sativum Ophioscorodon. The umbel you crushed from the Porcelain and showed the small bulbils and said nobody really grows from bulbils as it takes about two years to get a sizable bulb, that's not true as any professional grower worth his salt grows from Bulbils, and Porcelain take between three and five years to get up to size. The scape you pulled out the basket was from a Rocambol type, easy to spot as made two coils and you can get a small to reasonable size bulb after the first planting depending on the size of the bulbil. There are 8 sub groups of Hardneck, Porcelain, Asiatic, Creole, Turban, Rocambol and three types of Purple stripe, Ordinary, Glazed and Marbled and the marbling and glazing is on the Clove wrapper not the bulb wrapper. No such thing as a landrace type, it is similar to a Purple stripe because it is a Purple stripe. There are really only 10 types of Garlic, 2 sativum and 8 ophioscorodon and it has been proven by way of DNA analysis that differences between varieties is only regional variation, so that means the difference between your Music and German comes from being cultivated in a different location and adapting to it.
