Good source for seed garlic?

supergirl · August 8, 2006

As mentioned in my pesto post, I got a big kick out of growing my own garlic this year (much bigger than I get out of the other herbs, more a tomato-sized kick, maybe even bigger!):wink: I grew a softneck early Italian purple garlic. I really want to branch out and try a few different kinds next year. I don't have a lot of space, so I would like fairly small quantities of each kind, but preferably more than just one bulb. I'd also prefer a moderate price -- I found one place that had great sounding assortments of seed garlic till I realized it was one head each of 6 types, for $18-20.

I'm too new to garlic and unsure that I'll grow them all properly to spend $3 per head quite yet!! Any suggestions where I should look? Thanks!
