The bulbs looked nice. Cloves were large.
Loved the size of the bulbs and can't wait to see what they yield next summer!
Beautiful product! Thanks, folks!
Good size and number of bulb in each head. Accidentally broke some of the little ones while planting and they smelt really good. Would buy again.
Beautiful garlic bulbs! Generous and kind customer service. Thank you!
The cloves on these heads were absolutely huge! Looking forward to the heads of garlic they'll produce next summer.

Great fertilizer. Used for the first time last year for my fall bulbs and they were stunning and strong come spring. Planting another 250 bulbs this fall so came back for more bulb fertilizer. I also use the Trifecta. Can’t go wrong with any of Luke’s amendments.
Great germination and very prolific.
I grew this in a straw bale garden in 2025 and really enjoyed it. It grew amazingly well and was beautiful, so I purchased more for 2026. Michigan zone 6b.
I have grown these for the last few years and they are hands down my favorite. I like romas and firm tomatoes. These remind me of mini romas. These are less prone to splitting, super easy to harvest and has a super great flavor and very meaty. YUM!
The cloves are large, full and heavy. Of the two cloves I kept (shared 2 with my daughter), 12 were large enough to plant, 1 will be consumed.
