garlic harvest results

They are outta the box! I pulled out a mesh bag full of garlic bulbs that have little fortune cookie-like paper labels around their little necks! I'll put them in a nice cool dry closet until time to plant (80 degrees here - too hot!). I'll be so interested to see what grows well - by the time I found wegrowgarlic.com folks the selection was reduced but I still managed to get - French, Chinese Purpple, Silver White, Romanian Red, Purple Glazer, Indian LAte, Shandong, Leningrad & 2 bulbs of "Dog House Blend" LOL. SO I'll be growing in pots, along the edge of my raised beds, in bags... just like with the tomatoes but different. Lotsa compost & mulch. I was thinking the pots will chill them more than the soil too.
