Is anyone deep into the world of growing garlic? I have become fascinated with the bulbous flowering plant. I want to get some in the ground but plain old grocery store garlic is not enough for me. I want to grow some more exotic varieties and I am looking for recommendations and sources. Also tips and tricks to growing it in my backyard. I would love to grow a bunch of varieties rather than a whole backyard of just one type.
Obviously I have stumbled upon a few types and Elephant Garlic is all over the place even though it’s not really garlic I have discovered. Snow Mountain garlic is very interesting to me but I haven’t found a source for seeds or planting bulbs.
Looking forward to all the garlic products I can make after harvest but most curious about black garlic.
I have found there are several ways to start garlic and it got me thinking… are people making new types of garlic? How is cross breeding possible? Must be from the flowers that can develop on the “scapes”? I gotta look into this more.
