Another great article!

I'm trying Creole garlic for the first time this year (planted last October because I had to wait longer for this one to arrive), called Spanish Benitee. I'm looking forward harvest. Maybe this next growing season I'll have to give Ajo Rojo a try.

Thanks for all the great info.

I have grown Spanish Benitee in the past and though it grew well, the bulbs were a little small for me (I sell my garlic by the pound, so the larger the bulb, the better). I grow Ajo Rojo every year and I love the flavor/pungency as well as the bulb size. I find that the Creole garlic tends to run a bit smaller than the softneck and hardneck varieties.

I am one of the few who actually have my garlic available in early June (hardneck) and mid-June (softneck and Creole). Unfortunately, I am just a hobbyist grower and sell out of everything quite early.

Hmmm ~ So when would be the best time for me to find Ajo Rojo bulbs available on your website?

I am taking pre-harvest orders as we speak. I already have several dozen orders. Each and every year I sell out and end up cancelling orders/refunding money because the orders came in too late. Contact me via T-Mail if you have interest.

Great info. I want to try real garlic too. I think I have the leek growing everywhere!

Leeks are great to cook with too!!

That's true, Christine. They just will never deliver the flavor or pungency of heirloom garlic.
