Title: Elephant garlic.
Post by: grannyjanny on October 12, 2009, 20:00:40
I can't find any elephant garlic in the GCs. Can I buy some from the supermarket & plant that?

It won't be certified virus free but will grow fine.

Try Kings, the P&P is cheaper. ;) (I ordered some elephant garlic from thegarlicfarm this year; I returned it because it was mouldy & squishy - I was seduced by the 12 cloves for £6 offer).

I've not noticed elephant garlic in any UK supermarket, where have you seen it Grannyjanny?

I've seen it in Booths supermarket @ £2.99. They are  North West based & an excellent supermarket.

That's good to know, I always pop into Booths when I'm in the NW. Thanks. :)
