I just harvested some garlic from an old home place that’s been on my property well over 100 years. I’m not sure what it’s called. I eaten it before, it’s a little sweet, not quite as strong as the garlic I buy at the store but it has a little heat on the end. It doesn’t make into a big head and divide into cloves but it does divide and multiply. I cut up a little to eat today and had some peanut butter and crackers a little later, I was surprised these two tastes went well together.

I could see roasted garlic working with peanut butter and crackers since it gets a little sweet when roasted, but not raw or sautéed.

That’s an interesting combo. I am surprised too.

Does that garlic flower? And what do the flowers look like?

No gardening going in here in west Michigan. We have over 8" of snow on the ground. I do have a beautiful pinkish amaryllis in bloom inside with 5 flowers. And a white phaleanopsis orchid that grew 2 stalks of blooms, well over 30 flowers. I my start up some alfalfa sprouts to get some more greens in my diet. Early Merry Christmas wishes to all my gardening friends.

Before the ground froze I pulled some garlic bulbs broke them up into cloves and tossed them into a plastic bag. They sprouted. I’m going to plant them in some small pots until Spring.
