Don’t sell. Keep it for your friends and family and Christmas gifts.
We’ve ordered some southern adapted garlics from gourmetgarlicgardens.com Hopefully they’ll be as tasty as they were last time.
Something ate my cherokee purple tomato plant about the time it got ready to bloom. Augh.
Went to your link Black Agnes. Thanks! - How do I choose???
I saw they had a list of “mild” garlics, which would probably be appropriate for Darlin’s and my palettes. Do you know what might grow well in northern Oklahoma?
I saw this blurb about China Dawn, and sounds interesting. Do you know anything about it yourself? I thought it was interesting that it suggested others to plant along with it for a sustained garlic harvest:

China Dawn (Hardneck Turban garlic)
- Know where your food comes from. - Order China Dawn direct from our growers below -
China Dawn is another beautiful Turban garlic with a rich garlicky flavor and it has a floral-like aroma when raw. China Dawn has a mellow/moderate pungency that you notice immediately upon biting into China Dawn raw - instant mellow sweet earthy richness that builds to a crescendo in about 45 seconds, levels out and slowly dissipates leaving you warm and grinning.
Turbans are among the very earliest harvesting garlics and store until mid-November or longer and need to be planted early in the fall.
If you grow these you’ll have garlic before anyone else and if you also grow a long storing kind, like Ajo Rojo or a Porcelain like German White or a silverskin like Mild French, you may never run out of good garlic.
Grows well in most of the USA.
Harvests in late spring/early summer, stores into winter.
— Order now for shipment in the fall.
Get in line early as there will likely be shortages this year.—
