2026 Garlic Offerings:  Red Russian Hardneck, Music Hardneck, German Extra Hardy Hardneck, and Inchelium Red Softneck Garlic.

Garlic Varieties: 

• Red Russian Hardneck: We love Red Russian Garlic.  It is incredibly easy to grow, has beautiful curly scapes in the late spring and lasts well into the winter! Fedco Bulbs (our original supplier years ago) says that Red Russian garlic was "said to have been brought to the Pacific Northwest by Russian immigrants in the early 1900s, and so named for its mottled burgundy skin. Forms a ring of 5–12 large plump cloves around a central stalk. Keeps well for over six months (at least). “Delicious garlic flavor with no bitter aftertaste,” says Russian Red grower and garlic aficionado M. Coffin".
  
• German Extra Hardy Hardneck:  This is a popular heirloom garlic for good reason!  It has big, easy to peel cloves and a wonderful garlic taste.  Approximately 4-6 cloves per bulb, excellent storage. 
• Music Hardneck : Fedco says

  "Music is a porcelain hardneck type which means it "produces 3–6 very large cloves with tight porcelain-white skins, each equivalent to two or three cloves of supermarket garlics. Excellent storage. Huge cloves are wonderful in the kitchen (some will need cutting to fit into a garlic press!), and perfect for production pesto-making or baking whole".
  

• Inchelium Red Softneck: Fedco says: "usually forms 2–3 inner cloves and 6–7 outer cloves, but can make a very large bulb with 4–5 rings. Inner cloves not as tiny as in supermarket garlics. White paper with reddish-purple markings. Very good flavor, but not intense; excellent raw. Decent keeper, with good yields and good bolt-resistance. Originates from Inchelium (in-CHEE-lee-um), Washington, near the Canadian border".

Each Bulb is at least 1.75" in diameter

Typically, hardneck varieties produce flower scapes in June that can be cut and used to make garlic scape pesto or flavor other dishes.  We adore scapes!  They are far less pungent that garlic, but with a delectable flavor and texture that can't quite be compared to anything else.  In proper conditions, hardneck garlic can be stored and used through February.  

Softneck varieties tend to store for longer periods of time but do not typically produce scapes. This variety typically stores longer inside and is braidable! We braid ours, hang it on the walls for decoration and just cut off the lowest bulb with scissors when it is time to cook.

When to plant your garlic: Garlic should be planted in the mid-late fall.  We usually plant ours in mid November.  Garlic is typically harvested in July.
