Default Ivan, hard neck garlic

Finished up with the garden for this year by planting Ivan hard neck garlic and mulching it with straw. I never grew Ivan before but I like the taste and the size of the bulbs. I got a pretty decent deal from a Amish farmer in Ohio. I ended up planting 258 cloves of this variety. I plan on making garlic powder with some of it and using it in my pasta sauce I can every year. Ivan has about 7 to 8 cloves per jumbo sized bulb and fewer on smaller sizes it seemed. Im hoping for 10 months of storage from this variety, but we will see. From what I understand this variety has some nice scapes it produces, so im looking forward to using them in some of my cooking and maybe pickling some as well.
