I've never heard of this company. Any reviews on the varieties? The prices seem a little higher, because it's bulk which I wasn't expecting.
Are there any other good or noteworthy companies that sell garlic, ones you've bought from? @elkhound and @Bacpacker and everybody else???

I ordered GEORGIAN FIRE garlic.

YELLOW POTATO ONION. DUTCH RED SHALLOT. From Filaree Farms, the Horse radish & Asparagus will not be ready until December. Never grew Shallots so that A new one for me. Anybody got any tips on growing shallot, I am going to treat them like onions. Plant them six" Part & mix in some compost & blood meal, mulch to keep weeds down.

@Neb !! Thank you for posting the link to territorial seed. They are one group that isn't saying their garlic is out of stock! I'm going to order some from them.
Do some garlics do better in warmer temperature regions than others? You know that's probably true, so any suggestions for Texas garlic?

Growing Garlic in Warmer Regions​

• Garlic growing in warm regions requires more effort and care.
• Try different varieties to find one that works best for your area.
• Softnecks, Creoles, Turbans & a few Purple Stripes-Available Varieties Below.
• Plant Later, Harvest Earlier- Watch Crop Carefully
• Vernalization- Simulate Winter by Chilling Your Garlic in Fridge for 2-3+ weeks.
• Shipping Starts in Early September

Where to start? We recommend reaching out to your local extension office to get basic information about growing in your area. The key is to find the right variety for your soil & your microclimate. It is often a good idea to try a small amount of several different varieties to find which variety grows best in your area.

The Basics: Softneck varieties are well-adapted to warmer weather and are a great place to start. Weak-bolting hardnecks, like Creoles & Turbans, are beautiful & take the heat well. Hardneck varieties generally do not like the heat, but there are a few well-adapted Purple Stripes that southern growers have had success with.

I have grown both Soft neck & hard neck in zone 8 here in South Carolina.
Hard neck has scapes(flower buds) for anyone who likes cooking with them.

Thank you, @joel that was my next question...which does better in the heat, soft neck or hard neck, but you or the article clued me in. Do you have a favorite? I think I'd prefer a mild one but for herbal medicinal uses something strong would likely be better.

GEORGIAN FIRE garlic. is my favorite right now, it is hot, but wash away with a drink.
I also have White German, German Red, & Music for the first time, just to see what they taste like.
It is like 33 flavors of ice cream, try it to see.

The link Elkhound posted in the OP is where I get all my garlic. But I've done a couple orders and now have settled on 3 I like that grow great in this area. I just replant some cloves every November and harvest around July 4th.

Bacpacker, that’s what I’ve been doing. I’ve pulled a selection of garlic from my local nursery for the past couple years, planted a head of each and weighed out my returns.

This year, I’m planting Susanville, Early Italian Red, Lorz Italian, and Silver Sicilian. I like garlic scapes well enough, but given how much garlic we use, softnecks are better for us. I hate peeling the tiny hardneck cloves.

Got a email garlic will be shipped next week.

 

[Magpie]

I kept some I grew to replant, and had more delivered this week- though I don't normally plant until Dec.

I received my Premium Northern White on Tuesday and planted Friday. I picked it as it is very cold hearty. It looks like many are. Guess I’ll need to broaden out my garden next year.

I clicked on the link, Premium Northern White is a good strong Garlic that should do well in the far North.
Large cloves, easy to peel is always nice. Please update us on your harvest next summer.

Got my garlic crop planted this week

 

[joel]

Planting the last of my garlic today, also some leftover daffodils.

Georgian Fire is what I like the most and is the only garlic that I plant now. I got all my cloves planted into the ground last week. I love the buttery, hot flavour of that garlic and it's so versatile for cooking and making garlic relish preserves. I like to sweet pickle the scapes as well. So nice for cooking shellfish/crustaceans, or for including in gumbos.

I agree, Georgian Fire is my favorite garlic, but I try different garlics, so I will know more about them.
In the last twelve years, I have tried about fourteen difference varieties.
Can we have your garlic relish preserves recipes?

Can we have your garlic relish preserves recipes?

Yes, but I'll have to find the recipes first, they're not accessible at the moment, packed away in a stack of boxes with all of my books. I think there's 3 recipes there that I wrote up - one is for spiced sweet & sour pickled whole cloves, one is a similar recipe for pickling the scapes and the other is for the spiced sweet & sour pickled relish.

I think I also still have a recipe there for treating plants, its for extracting the hardneck garlic oils and juices from the plants for making a safe fermented solution to use as an anti-fungal, anti-bacterial treatment and insect repellent to spray on live plants growing in the gardens. The solution can only be used on plants though, not on people or animals. I'll look for that recipe too, some people might be interested to try it.
