Hard neck garlic is best planted in the fall. Something about the freezing of them is what causes the cloves to form instead of having one giant bulb.

I started a bunch of Stuttgarter onions in Feb and they are looking good now.

I put in scallion seeds yesterday outside and covered them with straw. Time will tell.

Wish I could eat garlic. I used to eat it raw, and include it in many things, but I developed an allergy to it as I can’t even smell it anymore without feeling sick almost. Even a little makes me sweat, makes me dizzy as all get out, shaky and wow, it takes a view days to recover, and it’s all I can taste for 2 days. I used to really crave garlic bread 🍞 too. Also,we’d make a garlic,oil dip for regular bread that wa delicious too.

Onions also affect me now, but not as bad as the garlic does. I especially,love the Vidalia onions. Wish they would grow up here though. (I think they can’t right?) We make a a great sauce with Vidalia that is absolutely,great on pork, chicken, ribs especially, hotdogs, even hamburgers. It’s wicked good!

I bought some last fall, and never got ambitious enough to actually plant it.

If I now stick it in my freezer for a week or two, and then plant it, would that achieve the same effect?
