Garlic and Onion Bulbs

German Red Garlic. A robust and reliable red-streaked garlic. This hardneck type garlic thrives in cold winter and northern climates and has good storage quality. The medium-sized cloves average about 8-9 per bulb and have a classic spicy pungency. It is a rocambole type, a class of garlic that is highly prized by chefs and garlic lovers alike. The scapes will make a double loop, extra pretty in the summer! Midseason maturity.

(Allium proliferum) Perhaps the most perfect onion for permaculture gardens, edible landscaping or anyone looking for a low maintenance food crop! Perennial in zones 3-9 this onion can be grown reliably in almost all U.S zones. Also known as tree onions and perennial onions, the plants produce bulbs at both the top and bottom of the plant, you can harvest and eat all parts of the plant, bottom bulbs, stems and the bulbils or mini bulbs produced at the top of the 2-3 foot stalk. The weight of the top bulbils will eventually cause the plant to flop over in Fall and take root in a new place just a few feet away, it truly “walks” across the garden over the years if you let it! Bulbs should be planted immediately upon receiving. A truly carefree perennial vegetable!

Porcelain type. This exceptionally cold hardy hardneck type is appreciated for pungent, gourmet flavor. A porcelain type with ivory outer paper and purple streaked inner wrapping around cloves. This top choice culinary variety is easy to peel, however it also boasts a good shelf life of up to 6 months when stored properly. Averages 4-7 cloves per head, makes delicious scapes.

Limited quantity! ( Allium ampeloprasum) Actually a leek, not a true garlic, but of immense utility nonetheless. Super-large bulbs can easily exceed a half-pound, are comprised of a few very plump cloves. The flavor is all garlic! The gigantic cloves peel easily, giving you a lot of garlic in a hurry. Very useful for large recipes, pickles, etc. An old favorite! Plant individual garlic cloves in the fall, prior to the ground freezing, in well-prepared beds of soil that is rich in organic matter. Plant cloves 1 to 2 inches deep about 8 inches apart making sure that the tip of the clove is pointing up and the footprint of the root is down. In northern climates it may be necessary to cover with mulch prior to the hard freezes of winter and then uncover in spring. Provide adequate irrigation and weed control in order to achieve maximum bulb size. Harvest scapes when they have made one full curl and before becoming erect (can still be used erect however the texture is tougher). Garlic is ready for harvesting when the bulbs are completely filled out and plump. Watch for the bottom two leaves to brown and die back and for the rest of the plant to begin to yellow. Test dig a few bulbs to determine if crop is ready. Discontinue irrigation for about two weeks prior to harvest. Do not pull garlic up by the stalk but lift the garlic by digging with a fork or shovel. Harvested garlic should be spread out or hung away from direct sunlight for two to three weeks to cure (air conditioned location is okay). Make sure curing bulbs have adequate air circulation and are not piled atop of one another.
