"I had a nice full head of this garlic this year. All of the cloves were firm, came apart easily, and have now been planted so that I may have Garlic next Spring. This was one of I think three varieties I bought from SeedsNow.com this year. All were of excellent quality and value for the price. They arrived quickly as well which is a big plus for me. Thanks SeedsNow!!"

Details
How to Plant Garlic
Garlic can be planted in the spring as soon as the ground can be worked, but fall planting is recommended. Bulbs will grow bigger and more flavorful when you plant them in the fall. Plant 6 to 8 weeks before your first hard frost. In southern areas, February or March can be a better time to plant.
Key Planting Info:
- Break apart cloves from bulb but keep the papery husk on each individual clove.
- Ensure soil is well-drained with plenty of organic matter. Plant in Full Sun.
- Plant 4 inches apart & 2 inches deep, in their upright position (the wide end down and pointed end facing up).
- Come springtime, shoots will begin to emerge.

OUR PLEDGE TO YOU
Agriculture and seeds provide the basis upon which our lives depend. We must protect this foundation as a safe and genetically stable source for future generations.
For the benefit of all farmers, gardeners and consumers who want an alternative. We pledge to you that we do not knowingly buy or sell genetically engineered seeds or plants. The mechanical transfer of genetic material outside of natural reproductive methods and between genera, families or kingdoms, poses great biological risks as well as economic, political, and cultural threats.
We wish to support agricultural progress that leads to healthier soils, genetically diverse agricultural ecosystems and ultimately healthy people and communities.
We do not buy - OR - grow any seed from large corporations that make Genetically Engineered seeds. We don't touch that stuff and we never will.
The seeds we offer aren't like varieties you'd typically find at a garden center.
Every variety we offer is 100% OP (open-pollinated). Open-pollination means that you can safely save the seed after harvest and preserve a collection of heirloom seed for many generations to come.
To make it perfectly clear ... Our seeds do not contain any exogenously inserted embryogenesis deactivator genes caused by human intervention.

Some good some bad, time will tell
",some of them were soft and mushy. Not so good!!! Time will tell as they are in the garden, and awaiting their arrival in may or June. Then we can say a real review."

"This garlic has taken off fast!"
looks good
"I got my garlic a few days ago. I have not planted it yet and probably won't till September, which is a good time here in Arizona. I'm looking forward to seeing it grow as it is a new garlic for me."

"I ordered 1/2lb of the early purple Italian garlic and I only received a sampler pack. I have emailed customer support with no response. Would really like the rest of my garlic or my money back. Will not be shopping from here again. ☹️"
