Fixin to go harvest my first ever bed of garlic. So darn excited about it. I cheated and have already pulled and eaten a bulb or two. lol Hey...I was desperate and needed some!
I'd love to get a couple cloves off of you. Care to trade for wild walking onions? I noticed you had the Egyptian walking onion also....would you care to trade the wild for some bulbils of the eqyptian? Idk where you are but the wild walking onions are drought, and freeze tolerant, no problems. Here people go out and forage them to use in soups and stews or pickle them, along with the native hot peppers we have out here in Texas, called chilitepin....or birds eye chili. Also freeze and drought tolerant. My peppers continued to produce all winter actually which was kind of wild. They don't normally. Guess there was enough of a microclimate between my shed and backside of my house under my old growth ash tree, it never even lost its leaves or blooms and kept on going. The chilitepin is a scoval scale of 50,0000 to 100,000. So roughly the same or hotter than a jalapeño when green to holy hell super hot when picked fully mature. They're tiny, smaller than a pea...but perfect when chopped up to add to scrambled eggs or breakfast tacos or salsa etc. Heat that is quick then dissipates. We pickle them here or preserve them in oil, or traditionally the Mexicans allow them to dry on the plant, then collect them and toss them into a pepper grinder, for use throughout winter. They pay a lot for the dried peppers. Crazy money actually like $20 for tiny little bag. They are delicious though. Anyway, Holler if you feel like bartering. I love trading and collecting new species and varieties. Especially wild naturalized ones.

You are set for the vampire apocalypse.

Mystery in the history.. Lol I'd keep growing it too

What exactly does curing the garlic do?
It dries the outer skin to protect it during storage
Nice size ! is it a strong tast ?
Not the hottest I've grown, but I consider it hotter than average. Very strong
