Garlic 2014
Below is the list of names of the different types of garlic we planted this year. We are a small scale operation, planting just enough to continue planting the type (saving seed), try them out for ourselves and have a couple of bulbs leftover for others to try to plant.
We built a “dibbler”, a piece of 2″x4″ wood with 6 sharpened dowels pointing down, that you can step on and create a regular and consistent depth and spacing of holes to plants garlic cloves into. As a result we plant in units of 6. For those types that we really like (ie artichoke formidable, inchelium, mennonite), or have a demand for, we plant more units of 6.
This year we have also expand the “Ted Collection”, some of the types developed by The Garlic Man, Ted Maczka.
Other new types we have picked up at the Verona and Carp Garlic Festivals in 2014 and from Beaver Pond Estates’ Paul Pospisil
The main beds below took 11 person-hours to plant on Saturday November 1st.
Another 3 hours to plant the various garlic bulbil project cloves and finally another few minutes to cover up with straw for the winter and WE ARE DONE!
