If you mean those center three pictures, that one is Early Red Italian. I grew Applegate Giant, Early Red Italian, Inchelium Red, Native Creole, Red Toch, Rogue River Red, Translvanian, Ajo Rojo, Shilla, and Creole Red that year.

Do you notice how many have "Red" in their name? This really has little or nothing to do with the color of the bulbs/cloves. I really don't know why so many early growers liked to use that word. Just one of the oddities I discovered along the way.

I am going to put together a "garlic" article soon. This is a really interesting and even historic subject and I think many will enjoy the article. I have posted bits and pieces along the way, but never have put it all together. Since I am 6-8 weeks away from my third harvest, it will be timely as well.

The reason it's so hard to lose weight when you get up in age is because your body and your fat have become good friends.
