Early Red Italian (Softneck) Garlic
Great product
I received an my garlic, along with a couple other varieties, within the time frame I was told. I waited a couple of weeks to plant it. I found many cloves were very large, while some were very small. I’ve never grown soft neck varieties before, so fingers crossed, I get a good yield, as I planted all the cloves. I guess I’ll know come July!
Shipped on time and very healthy bulbs. As always, I’m very pleased with my purchase.
Very impressed with the size of these cloves.

I had missed out on the opportunity to buy garlic for fall planting. I happened to hop on the website randomly one morning and see the garlic grab boxes so I immediately purchased! I'm so thankful I did. This is my first year planting garlic in Oklahoma and I cannot wait to harvest next year!
I planted my garlic in October. I can’t wait to see how they turn out next summer.
Packaged well, delivered on time, and great quality for the cost.
Alabama here. My order, 2 Early Italian & 2 Silverwhite softneck garlic were delivered and packaged nicely. I’ve never ordered garlic before didn’t know which types to order, so, I looked at the reviews and made my decision from that. On Nov. 7 they were planted in containers after our first frost, before planting, I placed them in the fridge about 4 weeks and then waited 3 days before I could plant them, Silverwhite had a little brown discoloration probably from refrigeration. Planted 45 cloves, so far, 20 have sprouted, last counted them the day before. I Truly believe it will be a successful harvest. Excited, can’t wait till spring gets here.

Seed garlic arrived in great condition. I just got them planted, so I can’t speak about successful “germination” or harvesting, yet. But, I always have great success with anything I purchase from MIGardener. 😊
