Thanks for the links, Mary. I'll read up on everything later when I have some free time. I've been reading up on the restrictions for Idaho, and there are some, but none that look like they will affect me. Most of the plants are ones that I've never grown, or plan on growing, so hopefully I won't have any problems. I've got so much to read up on regarding things up there! Every state is so different!

Marsha, I'd skip the grocery store garlic. I never buy garlic from there, as it just doesn't taste good to me. I get all of mine from the farmers market, but have my neighbor pick it up for me since he's a vendor there. There is no comparison on the taste, since like Ken said, the stuff at the store is stale by the time you get it. There's nothing like fresh! My "generic" white garlic that I grew wasn't the grocery store variety, but I never did find out the name. The neighbor forgot what it was when he got it for me, and the garlic vendor had sold out and he couldn't find him again. It was a hardneck variety, but that's all I know. The cloves were very large, and tasty, but kind of generic in flavor. That's why I want to try some new ones! The place we just bought up in Idaho has 12 1/2 acres, so I'll be able to grow as much garlic as I want, and still have as many flowers as I want! It's perfect!

Good luck at the expo Ken! Let us know how it went!
Natalie
