Thanks for the recommendation. I never knew of them and they have a lot of great varieties to offer. I will definately order from them next year. What do they charge per bulb? I couldn't find the price on their site.

I have about 600 cloves planted of about 20 varieties. In the past Iwould give away quite a few to friends and colleagues and I still will, but I want to see if I can sell some to help cover my costs. Homegrown organic garlic is becoming very popular at local markets and sells out very quickly despite being very pricey. Some vendors are asking $12.00 per pound.

My best overall garlics are Russian red and Northern Quebec. A good keeper with mild taste is the softneck French as well as Inchelium. I do like the Red Creole despite its size and difficulty in peeling. Size isn't everything when it comes to taste in garlic.
