I am going to make my first attempt at growing garlic this fall and wondered if any out there have preferences or can list varieties that have done the best for them. As well - anyone with advice on where to get seed stock would be appreciated.

We have been planting the same type for the last fifteen + years - Music Hard Necked. http://www.territorialseed.com/product/Music_Garlic/employee-favorites

Scapes are harvested in early June and the bulbs are usually harvested late July. Strong garlic taste and store well.

The silverskins and artichokes do better for me as heat is the enemy of most hardnecks.

S&H Silverskin has been best for me. I get them in the ground around thanksgiving. Set deep so they stay cool as long as possible.
They don't compete with grass and weeds so keep the bed clean and mulched once they're up.

My buddy gave me 20 bulbs of German Porcelain hardneck garlic and I planted 30 cloves for the first time last Nov. 1st and everyone of them came up. Pulled it 4 weeks ago to dry. Over the weekend I cut the tops off 2” from bulb and peeled a few layers off the bulbs to clean up and was VERY happy of the size & flavor. Always plant the cloves from your biggest bulbs is what my buddy told me – he was right – huge ! "Seed Savers" in Decorah, IA had them - attached photos are from early May - GOOD LUCK !

They like plenty of sulfur.

Yep, as tempting as it is to do otherwise eat the small bulbs first and save the jumbos for seed. That way each new generation gets the best shot for sizing up.

Hey Blackdog, if you will pm me your addy, I will send you a dozen or so cloves and some contacts for more. Consider this a random act of kindness.

I have tried garlic 2x. I like it on everything from my eggs, to pizza and everything in between. I put mine in pots the last time because that is what an old Italian guy told me he does, mulched them with straw, but was not impressed with the return. They didn't get big bulbs and only had like 2-3 cloves. Not sure what I did wrong. I planted elephant garlic, Italian garlic, and one other I cant remember.

Which of the garlic types do best for growing in summer heat in clay type soils? I know adding lots of organic matter and loosening up the soil is best, but I have what I have for soil. Also which types store the longest?

I grow a good bit- been on my own seed stock for 5+ years- as said the biggest seed makes the biggest bulbs- size matters. My stock came from Music Pink and German white- mixed and selected the bulbs that performed the best. It is one of the most reliable crops in my garden. I plant in late September after tilling in whatever compost I have and then mulch with a thick layer of straw. I typically will weed the rows by hand once in spring. I harvest in mid-late June.

Silverskins and artichokes are the longest storing.
I have clay loam and all I've tried haven't had soil issues. Heat on the other hand is the limiting factor for some.
Creoles are reported to actually prefer heat to cold. I've yet to try them.

German reds here too. Plant them November 1 and mulch with straw. Harvest them about now. They will keep for about a year. Hardnecks grow better for me. I just pulled mine and planted green beans where I pulled them to add some nitrogen to the soil for when I plant them in the fall. I have been growing the same ones for about 15 years and just keep planting the biggest and best bulbs right back in the same bed every fall. It acts like it is growing better all the time so maybe it is changing some over time?

Great pictures!

Pick the scapes off when they are still small.It helps the strength go to the bulb and the scapes are great when they are small and tender.Almost like chives or scallions.Great in salads

What hard neck varieties store the longest? It looks like soft necks store better so I will plant some of them but also want to plant some hard neck varieties. Has anyone planted the Creole kinds?
