[Arid_gardener] Re: Source For Garlic

[Olin Miller]

          Best mail order source IMO is Filaree Farms in Washington State,
web site:
http://www.filareefarm.com/
Not only do they grow many varieties but also have lots of good information
about garlic at the web site.
          Territorial Seed Company at
http://www.territorial-seed.com/stores/1/Garlic_Bulbs_C11.cfm
is also pretty good but I believe they get their garlic from Filaree.

Garlic planting season is  over with in most of the US but some companies
will still ship in early October.

I also planted some garlic last year from Sprouts' produce section and the
resulting bulbs were bigger than the ones I had planted.
