NEW for Fall 2024! Organic Garlic for Planting - German White Porcelain

NEW for Fall 2024!
From our certified organic farm to you, garlic bulbs ready for planting. October is the preferred month for planting garlic in most of the country, for a bountiful harvest next June. Our garlic is sold in one-lb. lots, which will be enough for about a 25-foot row.

German White Porcelain is a hardneck variety. The large cloves are arranged around a hard central stem, most often 4-6 cloves per bulb. Rich robust flavor is moderately spicy. Cloves are easy to peel, and plants are especially cold tolerant.

Growing instructions:
*Plant in fall, ideally in October.
*Separate cloves, and plant each one, growing tip facing up, about 4 inches deep and 6 inches apart.
*For best results, mulch after planting with a thick layer of straw, hay, or leaves at least 6 inches deep. Do not use wood chips.
*Hardneck varieties send up a false flower stalk in late spring, known as a scape. These need to be cut off so the plant can focus on growing its bulb - and the scapes are delicious, adding a mild garlic flavor to stir-fries and soups.
*Harvest when leaves begin to lose color and flop, sometime between late May and early July depending on conditions.
*Hang bulbs by their stalks to cure in a dark cool spot.
*Ready for long-term storage after 6 weeks. Be sure to clip the roots for storage.
