Big cloves that have 3 times the flavor of store bought

I live in the PNW and Russian Red Garlic thrives here. I typically have a 100% success rate. I tried about 8 other varieties only to keep going back to Russian Red as my hands down favorite. I want the largest most flavorful cloves that I can produce because I find it tedious and time consuming pealing garlic cloves. All my relatives line up to get some Russian Red Garlic at harvest time. I grew about 300 Russian Red in 2024. You can't beat it for a good immune boost.

It's some of the biggest garlic I've seen but about half the cloves I got were moldy when I went to plant them

Grow Big! Grow Garlic! Grow Big Garlic!

Thanks MiGardener for the wonderful garlic bulbs. They are currently “laid to rest” in their organic bed of compost and richly amended soil under a layer of pine shavings. Looking forward to their “resurrection day” next summer, 🧄😜😂
