I purchased locally grown, not imported, garlic from a local organic garlic farm. They specialize in growing garlic. Would they want virus infected stock? They are nice large, 3" bulbs. Is GetGarlic.com the only one that has virus free seed garlic? Also, if one clove in a bulb has the virus do they all? If you get some good size bulbs does that mean there was no virus? If seed garlic is infected, are all the bulbs from that garlic smaller in size? No one else here has mentioned being concerned about it all, so not sure what to think.
