Turban, Hardneck Certified Organic by Oregon Tilth This is a very pretty hardneck Turban type with flattened bulbs with purple striping from Basque Country in the in the autonomous province of Navarre (Nafarroa), Northern Spain. It has a quick heat when eaten raw, fading into an earthy finish. In the Basque language garlic is “baratxuri”. We originally obtained this variety via our local garlic wizard, Avram Drucker of Garlicana. Here in Southern Oregon, where they are some of the first to emerge and earliest to mature, the scapes seldom have time to coil before the plants are ready to harvest meaning that the lack of fiber in the leaves, makes them are ideal for garlic greens pesto and well suited for early greens production.  In addition to the northern latitudes, Basque, grows well in warmer climates and more southern latitudes. Turban garlics are highly adaptable to different climates having been found from tropical Southeast Asia to arid Central Asia, to the Pyrenees and surrounding lowlands.  Very easy to peel. Stores for near 7 months.  SORRY BUT NO INTERNATIONAL ORDERS ON GARLIC * Free Shipping does not apply to Garlic Orders * Remember to check out our Garlic Growing tips in order to make the most of your growing opportunity: https://www.siskiyouseeds.com/blogs/news/garlic-planting-tips...

Porcelain, Hardneck Type Certified Organic by Oregon Tilth German White is a wonderful type that we have grown for nearly 20 years here. This is our favorite garlic on the farm here on account of its large cloves that peel easily. Bulbs are satin white over pink clove wrappers.  Most bulbs 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 until March or April in simple cool storage. Another bonus of this variety is that it produces scapes (see photo), 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 capable of growing to 3.5" in diameter with 5-8 large cloves per bulb. Among the best for roasting!  Flavor: Pleasant strong & sweet flavor with some heat that intensifies after some storage. Storage ability: 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".

Artichoke, Softneck Type Certified Organic by Oregon Tilth We have been growing, selecting and perfecting this beautiful softneck variety for over 20 years. This strain originated as 2 similar varieties: Lorz Italian & Applegate Red. After years of sorting it emerged as something new and unique, deserving a new name!  This strain is from the Artichoke subgroup of garlic, which possess the general characteristics of a soft flexible neck, purple tint/blush to the outer wrappers and clove wrappers.  Whereas some artichoke types can have up to 30 cloves, our strain usually has 8-15 cloves per bulb.  This means less small inner cloves that are more difficult to deal with in the kitchen!  Of all of our varieties, this is the easiest to grow to large size.  It can attain a diameter of 3 1/2 inches! Flavor:  Full bodied and more mild than the hardnecks. Storage ability:  Siskiyou Purple will easily keep until April or May in a cool dark garage or shed. Cloves per pound: 45 - or about 5 or 6 heads/pound. Planting: One pound plants 25 row feet at one clove every 6".  SORRY BUT NO INTERNATIONAL ORDERS ON GARLIC * Free Shipping does not apply to Garlic Orders * Check out our Garlic Growing tips in order to make the most of your growing opportunity: https://www.siskiyouseeds.com/blogs/news/garlic-planting-tips...
