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.
Large beautiful bulbs!!

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.
