Leftwood said:Getting back to garlic, Jeanne, if you bought the bulbs at a regular grocery store, they would be a softneck garlic type.
I would have said this same thing not too long ago... but then I recently was suprised to see hardneck garlic in our supermarket. (No idea where they got it from, though; but pretty doubtful that it was local.) And I've also always read/heard that the softneck types don't do well in the north, but I haven't had any trouble with growing them here (well, I've only tried Western Rose and Polish White, so I can't speak for all the different varieties). This year I'm trying a Creole type, Ajo Rojo -- can't always believe the "conventional wisdom," it seems
