Hey, Dave. Yesterday I planted approximately 12-18 cloves of the following varieties:
Applegate Giant, Early Red Italian, Ajo Rojo (Creole), Red Toch, Rogue River Red, Blanco Piancenza (softneck), Shilla (turban), Labera Purple (Creole), Native Creole, Maiskij (turban), Spanish Benitee (Creole), and Translvanian.
My first try at growing garlic was the fall of 2011, and I planted Applegate Giant, Early Red Italian, Red Toch, Rogue River Red, Native Creole, and Translvanian. All grew well and the average harvested bulb for each was around 1/4 lb.
