Mary, I have not planted "Elephant" garlic and have none to plant in the fall. It is readily available in the stores here, or at least that is the label on it, and this garlic has so little taste/fire that I prefer to grow the gourmet types, such as Ajo Rojo, Red Toch, Shilla Blanco, Piacenza, Lebera Purple, Rogue River Red, and many others. My wife and I use fresh, home-grown garlic extensively in our meals, and I sell what I cannot eat or want to put aside for the fall planting.

These pixs are just a sample of what I grew last year. The average bulb weighed in at 1/4 lb for each of the varieties that I grew. I think the "elephant" types are even larger.

The reason it's so hard to lose weight when you get up in age is because your body and your fat have become good friends.
