Your garlic looks awesome. Keep us posted on which ones cook up best etc…. then remind us when it’s time to plant… please I am inspired now.

Yeah, timely post. I just pulled a few of our garlic bulbs out to see what there was to see. Very mysterious. Now I know more.

Em – I DO hate to buy it…it’s so plain compared to what we can grow!

Loretta – you should def try it again…I love fresh garlic…It’s like a fine cologne I think! Cool on the Twilight books. You should read the Sookie Stackhouse books too!

YD – thanks for the ref to Egyptian Walking Onions! They definitely look like the tops…I still need to see what I can find about the bulbs…but I think you pegged it!

farm mom – my parents have that sort of garlic around their place. It stinks!

Robert – thanks for reminding me about garlic on the Deliberate Agrarian’s blog. It has all sorts of cool stuff!

Capri Kel – there are tons of varieties and they definitely taste different. We are still experimenting with varieties…but now is the time to order it for best selection!

I don't know if you're familiar with Herrick Kimball's blog "The Deliberate Agrarian." He's scaled back to just monthly updates but is leaving all the posts up as a resource for others. He has several good posts about garlic here, including one about pickling the scapes while they are still young.

I’m with you on the garlic and mushrooms in/on everything….otherwise, what’s the point right?!

Seriously though, I saw this post a while back on a blog I like to pop in on every once in awhile, maybe it’ll answer some questions for you, assuming yours is the same stuff. http://cincinnatilocavore.blogspot.com/2008/03/foraging-wild-garlic.html

Nice haul btw!

I know ya’ll are safe from Vampires! LOL!
Warren, I think those mystery garlics are actually Egyptian Walking Onions. I have seen them in catalogs before and so I googled for some pictures, sure look very similar to your mystery garlics. Google Egyptian Walking Onions and compare it to your garlics and see if they are it.

I tried to cook this one recipe with fresh garlic and it turned out terrible. A complete mess! So I haven’t really tried it since. I realize it probably wasn’t just the garlic either. My grandmother has some fresh garlic that she has offered us but I haven’t gotten any. She said it was growing everywhere in the garden.

BTW. I finished the first twilight book. It was very good! Then we watched the movie. Not so good. It was just too choppy and not great acting. It was alot to squeeze into 2+ hours. It seemed like they would do a scene to get some lines from the book the cut to the next scene to say a few lines. It just didn’t flow.

Warren puts garlic and mushrooms in EVERY recipe that he can. It’s a good thing that we have an abundance of garlic this year – he really hates having to buy it at the store.
