I am SO excited!!!  The garlic that I ordered from Sow True Seed just arrived in the mail.  We have three different varieties.

 

I know it looks just like garlic from the grocery store, but this is "seed garlic."  It was grown specifically to plant.  You CAN plant garlic from the grocery store, and we have done that before, but sometimes it is treated so that it doesn't sprout.  If you plant that in the fall, and it doesn't sprout in the spring, you have lost the whole season.  I would rather buy seed garlic every couple years to be sure.  In the off years, I can plant the extra cloves, knowing they haven't been treated with ANYTHING!!!  But it's good to start fresh every few years.

 

Guess I'll head out to the garden now. The rows are all ready to plant.  Yoo-hoo!!!

 

HAPPY GARDENING!!!
