Thanks. I grow hardneck (porcelains) garlic in my garden – I plant about 1000 cloves. So far I've tried Russian Red, German Red, Persian Star, and Music.
Northern CA here. I grow Inchelium Red every year. Does very well here, gets big, tastes great, keeps about 8 months. Only problems come in very wet springs.
Thanks for this video. Leeks that I've sown in 2016 are coming back this year, I just cut them off above the root and leave then to regrow. Each time they grow back there's a couple more baby leeks growing along side. Still have a few from 2015 but they've mostly been smothered by perennial kale.
Great information as usual:-) Good to know that I can divide a green onion into (4) parts and get (4) green onions, logical:-)
China garlic is chemically treated stay away buy only ORGANIC grown garlic …
I agree, there is no good reason to eat good out of China
