Plant some Metechi garlic or Bogatyr garlic.
Might as well get some cooking use out of them too.

Wasn't familiar with either so I looked it up;

Google AI; Metechi and Bogatyr are very similar marbled purple stripe hardneck garlic varieties, often considered interchangeable because they are almost indistinguishable without DNA analysis. Both are known for their large size, robust, fiery flavor, and ability to store well. The main difference is their origin: Metechi is from Georgia, and Bogatyr is from Russia.

Might look into those next fall depending on how it goes. Mean time my first try on advice from Michigan State University (Zone 6B)
Polish Softneck
California Softneck
German White Hardneck
Music Hardneck

We love cooking with garlic, no reason why I never tried it before. Part of my logic is how long it stores. Unlike a crop like tomato where everybody's comes in at the same time and you can't give em away fast enough, garlic lasts maybe 6 months.
