'09 Garlic is in

I am trying a configuration of 20' long, 2 1/2' wide beds in the newly tilled area. Prepped the easternmost one for garlic last weekend with compost and amendments per Steve Solomon's COF recipe. The following varieties went in yesterday, all home-grown:


Species Allium sativuum; Subspecies ophioscorodon (hardneck)

Brown Rose
Chesnok Red
Lavigna

Species Allium sativuum; Subspecies sativuum (softneck)

Kettle River Giant
Inchelium Red

Species Allium ampeloprasum (technically a leek)
