We are going to use the Bogatyr. I will have water standing by! I will ask my husband for his rating, as well.
I understand completely about going slower every year. I can't remember what it was like to actually accomplish everything I set out to do in a week. Sigh...
Edited to say we just tried the garlic. Michael and I both rated it between 4-5 in terms of pungency. A quick little hit on the first taste that dissipates very quickly. We also observed that the innermost peel was quite thick--perhaps due to the fact this garlic hasn't been stored for long?
It would be fun to do a side-by-side comparison with the different varieties we grow. We will be harvesting our garlic here probably in the next few weeks, so we may have to consider that.
We are very happy with this addition, and look forward to growing it out this fall. Will use the few smaller heads for cooking now .
Thanks, Ken!
