Interested in growing garlic but can't settle on which variety?  We'd love to introduce you into the wide world of garlic diversity with our garlic samplers.  We offer a few different options: 1/4 or 1/2 pound each of 4 varieties of garlic. Please note that the hardneck garlic varieties included may vary depending on availability.  Each type represents a different facet of the garlic genome: Bangkok - A Turban type hardneck garlic. Wide and squat bulbs of turban types are a unique shape. Plump cloves are sheathed in pink inside violet wrapped bulbs and cloves are plump with pink wrappers. Turban types mature nearly one month earlier than Silverskin types. Spicy heat with an earthy flavor. This variety was adapted from a selection made at a market in Bangkok, Thailand in the early 2000's. Chesnok: A purple stripe Hardneck type. In prevalent Russian dialect, "Chesnok" means garlic, although this garlic originally hails from the village of Shvelisi in the Republic of Georgia.  It is an excellent producing, brilliant garlic. Long, crescent-shaped purple-hued cloves are covered by purple-striped bulb wrappers that glow with sparkles of golden glaze. Outstanding, uniquely spicy flavor raw. Holds flavor well when baked. Very long storing garlic. 8-12 cloves per bulb.  Khabar - A rare marbled hard-neck variety from the Russian coast of Siberia, Khabarovsk. This variety was collected from Siberia by Alaskan grower Bob Ellis. Pretty purple blushed bulbs with reddish-bronze wrappers cover perfectly sized cloves. Flavor that starts mild with heat building in intensity. Late to mature, it has a good storage capacity and produces scapes during the early spring. Only available in Samplers. Music - A Porcelain Hardneck Variety. Produces bulbs that will have only 4-6 cloves, saving time in the kitchen.  Flavor is rich and bold with just the right amount of spiciness. Stores fairly well for a hardneck, lasting about 9 months - or until March or April in simple cool storage.  They are all fairly distinct in their appearance, flavor and growth habit, so you will learn quite a bit about what growing garlic is all about.

Porcelain, Hardneck type Certified Organic This is a wonderful variety produces bulbs that will have only 4-6 cloves, saving time in the kitchen.  Flavor is rich and bold with just the right amount of spiciness. Stores fairly well for a hardneck, lasting about 9 months - or until March or April in simple cool storage.  Another bonus of this variety is that it produces scapes, which are false flower stalks that can be used as a sort of green garlic (think bunching onions) in April and May.  It is best to break these scapes off as it helps make for larger bulbs instead of the plant putting its energy into making these false flowers that produce small bubils. Although this variety is a bit more difficult to grow than softneck varieties in so far as it is more sensitive to weed pressure and water inconsistency, it is such a joy to use in the kitchen that it's worth the extra effort.  It is remarkably productive and very rewarding to grow.  It is capable of growing to 3.5" in diameter with 5-8 large cloves per bulb. Music is probably the most productive harneck garlic capable of producing 13,000 pounds per acre!  Among the best for roasting! Flavor: Pleasant strong & sweet flavor with some heat that intensifies after some storage. Storage: Will easily keep until March or April  in a cool dark garage or shed. Cloves per bulb: 5-8 Cloves per pound: 35 - or about 4 heads/pound. Planting: One pound plants 20 row feet at one clove every 6".
