Re: Hard Neck Garlic

I manage to keep hardnecks in edible form until March or April.  Then
they invariably sprout.  I'm growing softnecks this year from Filaree
Farms.  The California Early/Late garlics from the grocery that I've
planted in the past have done very poorly.  I'll keep the list updated
on my results.  I grow around 10 varieties of hardneck every year.

I'll be out of town until Thursday, but I'll catch up on the list then. 
It's only 6 weeks until I start seedlings!
