I’ve grown small batches of garlic in the past, but this fall I will have a dedicated bed for them, as Beau built me two more 4’x8’ raised beds earlier this spring.

Right now those beds are growing ‘gourmet’ tomatoes, which are the ones I like to grow for ‘fancy’ colorful platters and fresh eating, versus the ‘pedestrian’ varieties I grow for canning Salsa, V-8, Tomato Soup and Bloody Mary Mix.

I like a hardneck garlic, versus a softneck variety, because of the scapes, too!
