Autumn Planting Garlic

Description

Heirloom from Moldova region. Vigorous dark green broad leaves, a 'hardneck' so produces a flower stem which can be removed to encourage larger bulbs, which produce 5-8 large, fat cloves. A warm garlic with real persistence and amazing aroma, making the perfect garlic bread. Harvest from June. English production.

Kitchen Notes

Garlic Scapes (aka Rocamboles). These tender green shoots form at the top of the stiff flower stems of hardneck garlic and are increasingly popular for adding flavour to a wide range of dishes - stir-fries, soups, salads, chopped and sautéed in butter and added to mashed potatoes or omelettes.
