I hope you're right, Ken! Having such long-storing garlic would be wonderful... there is nothing like fresh garlic for cooking, as I was reminded last night after making garlic butter shrimp for supper using some of my recent harvest Smiling

I have discovered, though, that my garlic "chips" -- the dried slices that I store for grinding into garlic powder -- work really well and are really convenient to use for making pickles, etc.; they plump right back up and you'd never know they had once been dried.

Chelle, at least deer won't eat your garlic like they do tulips -- which I've totally given up on trying to grow.
