our seed

This is our fourteenth year growing garlic from an excellent strain of German Extra-Hardy seed and this year’s seed is particularly large. German Extra-Hardy is a hardneck variety with sturdy stems. German Extra-Hardy is a beautiful purple-striped very large bulbs  (avg   2 1/2” in diameter), with 5-10 cloves per bulb (avg 8). This garlic variety fares well in harsh winters. We are also newly growing Music garlic. Similar to GEH, it is a favorite among growers and also does well in our climate. We grow in zone 5 and plant mid-October. The tips of the garlic are exposed all winter, giving the garlic a head-start for spring growth. For taste, these varieties are hard to beat. It is a fairly spicy garlic, very strong raw flavor, mellowing when cooked. Simply delicious!  Click Growing Tips if you'd like to learn more about planting garlic.
