Greenhorn,
What variety is that? It stores so well.
And how do you store your garlic?

Here's a pic of my modest plot. I have no idea if the variety.

I was given these to work with. Have never grown garlic before. Would like to try. Can I plant them now?View attachment 430818
Thank you. I believe these were just left to grow wild on a hundred year old farm for years.

The problem with planting grocery store garlic is you will never know what variety you are growing.
Greenhorn, thanks for the information.
I read many literatures on curing and most of them suggested sun dry the newly harvested bulbs for a couple of days prior to hanging them in the cellar.
Have you tried this method?
How would you describe the flavor of your garlic?
I like mine hot and strong but fast acting. I just can't stand those long lasting in the throat.
I am currently growing about 10 varieties to see which ones produce good for me.
Last year after I planted them, I had a taste test of the remaining cloves.
Some of them were so strong that they gave me blisters in my throat and the roof of my mouth.
I would think the biggest drawback to commercially grown garlic from the grocery store, would be full of pesticides, fertilizers and shelf life preservatives, making them extremely hard to regrow, just my opinion. I would get some from a farmers market to regrow if I was going to.
