1. I had no idea there are so many types of garlic. It had never even occurred to me that the garlic I'm eating is of a specific variety.
2. It seems very weird that only once most or all of the foliage has died off, it is time to harvest the garlic. I would have thought that it would be time to harvest it when the leaves were green and bushy.
3. Garlic can be planted in Autumn through to early Winter. I'm interested in planting garlic now, so the fact i can do it right away is exciting.
What is the best type of garlic to plant in our area?
We planted some Russian Red today. It seems to do really well here. I agree with your point #2. It seems Counterintuitive. Many squashes are the same way. I let my butternut squash vine die right back before harvesting the squash.
