Thanks everyone:
Natalie: Good luck with your new acreage. Should have lots of room for plants and vegetables. Since I only have limited space and my main love is growing perennials and having room for 3 dogs to roam, I will definately not take a chance on just planting a clove of unknown garlic. This is something I thought about growing for years, since I found this site I am more encouraged to go ahead and try my luck.
Pod: Sounds like the Gumbo onion is something else I want to put in. Hope to try those potato towers this year also.
Arlene: Thank you for your suggestions. Now I have a list to consider.I think I will try 3 differnt kinds and let me son try the other 3. We definately want the more flavorful ones. We are garlicholics......just never took the time to research growing them and the varieties. Always was dissapointed in the store garlic.
All of you experienced garlic growers, which do you find easier to grow.........hardneck, softneck or artichoke and does the hardneck really store longer?
Which kinds are better for our zone 5a? The ground does freeze here in the winter.Thanks again! Marsha
