All of our garlic and specialty onions are certified organic and ready to use in the kitchen or plant in the garden. Growing good garlic is quite easy and just about any home gardener can experience success.

Plant garlic in rich, well-drained soil. Avoid planting in dense soil with low fertility. Separate the cloves just prior to planting. Plant cloves 4-6 inches apart covering them with 1-2 inches of soil. In most areas of the country, plant September-November. When spring growth begins, fertilize with a high nitrogen fertilizer such as blood meal, and water as needed. Water less frequently prior to harvest. Harvest garlic when the bottom leaves have turned brown but there are still at least 3 green leaves on the plant. Dry in a cool, dark location.
Hardneck Garlic - typically has a single circle of large cloves around the central woody stem. Short to medium storage qualities.
Softneck Garlic - typically produces several layers of cloves around a soft central stem. They store well and are the type used for braiding garlic.
Topsetting Onions - Allium cepa, Proliferum Group. Very hardy perennials. These fascinating onions form underground bulbs and hazelnut-sized bulblets at the top of each stock.
Shallots - Allium cepa. Considered the gourmet Allium, shallots have a distinctive but more delicate and mild flavor than other onions. Essential in cream and butter sauces, they also are exquisite deep-fried or pickled. Grow and store as you would onions. Allow bulbs that form above the surface of the soil to remain exposed. Harvest when the leaves turn yellow.

Garlic, Shallots, and Topsetting Onions are shipped only in the fall-late September or early October, depending on the season. Quantities are limited so order early. Sorry, not available to Idaho or Canada.
