I harvested about 175 bulbs this year. So easy to grow and store!

I'm putting in some "heirloom" garlic this Fall. My husband turned me on to it.

Easy is the word for it. You literally just shove the cloves into the dirt, pointy side up. And wait. The rest is automatic.

“I can’t think of a crop I’d rather grow for people than garlic,” Ron said.

He should love driving through Gilmore then.

20 varieties?? Wow, I just go to the store and buy plain old “garlic.”

Made a great roasted shrimp dish Thursday night. Two pounds shrimp with mashed garlic (four cloves), EVOO, salt and pepper; bake at 500 F in a Spanish cazuela for five minutes. Garnish with Pepper Oil (EVOO infused with dried peppers de Arbol, 8 cloves garlic, thyme, salt and pepper), garlic chips (fry up 8 cloves of thinly sliced garlic in very hot EVOO), and thyme. My son and his friends devoured it.

Kitchen still has the garlic aroma...maybe it’ll be permanent!

I need to try this. My new town near LA was a farming area until the 50’s and fruit trees and plants in this yard — and in this whole county — grow so well, including onions not far away. Ready to plant garlic!
