Title: Elephant garlic
Post by: shirlton on July 31, 2011, 13:14:57
I have had areally good crop of elephant garlic and have enough to provide my own seed from them. I also some left from what we lifted last year and they are still very firm.I was thinking of planting these in a corner to see if they are still viable. Has anyone else done this?

October, but you can probably plant them any time now. I think they'll just sit in the ground till they're ready.
