Terracotta garlic roaster with two roasted heads of garlic, one has many smaller cloves with purple skins and one has four large cloves with white skins tinged with purple.

Roasted one head of Chesnok Red and one head of Metechi because I was being indecisive. The Metechi is so flavorful that after eating it, whole cloves of Chesnok Red now taste like sweet corn. Excited to have received Leningrad & Georgian Fire today.

One pound of Georgian Crystal seed garlic for fall planting.

Fall-planted garlic arrived! From Keene Organics in neighboring Wisconsin.

Going all in on Georgian Crystal this year.

Better late than never! Italy Hill Giant Ivory Hardnecks are all tucked in and ready for a winter nap. This year I learned that the worn, rounded end of an ol’ broken shovel handle pokes the perfect holes for planting garlic. My back is grateful for the discovery. #garlic #hardneckgarlic #farmstead
