bj, if this is your unnamed legacy variety, I would love to try a very small amount and have it acclimate to my garden conditions.
We had seven yeas of drough followed by historic flooding rains this spring. Every year it's a knuclke biter to see if you have something bigger than a golf ball. A consistant performer would be a very welcome addition.
Today the weather was a bit too invigorating for plantng the raised bed. Garlic may be tough but myself, not so much. The temp when I started was 34 degrees with a weak winter sun making it tolerable. The sun gave way to clouds and eventually snowflakes. Even the warmth of an unheated garage for a few seconds to retrieve supplies felt cozy to my old bones. I got 36 bulbs planted in about an hour, with a 4 hour soak in baking soda/kelp and the standard 4 minute soak 70% isopropol alcohol. The "soil" in this bed is mostly years of dumped potting mixes and black cow. I need to borrow a horse for an afternoon and feed it well.
Sending a pm, bj. Thank you so much for the offer.
- Lisa
