$4 · Russian hard kneck Garlic

Russian hard kneck Garlic image 1

I really love this garlic and have been growing it for years. Initially bought my seed from the Gabriola Garlic Guy and have been planting my best ones every year. You will not believe how big some of these are. All are organically grown, free of pesticides and herbicides. Even the hay for the horse whose manure i use is organically grown. You can use this for your dining pleasure or you can use it for seed. They are still incredibly juicy and tasty. I don't think you will find a nicer garlic. I have seen a couple of nurseries that sell this variety for $4 each. smaller ones will sell for less. Buckerfields is selling their seed garlic for $29 lb, I am selling for $15 lb. Garlic has been ascribed to having many medicinal qualities. It is used for lowering blood pressure, improving cholesterol, lowering the risk of heart disease. Also used to boost immunity system as in fighting colds. It contains decent amounts of minerals, is rich in antioxidants and has significant levels of vitamins. See https://www.healthline.com/nutrition/11-proven-health-benefits-of-garlic#section9 I have some crazy friends who just pop this in their mouth raw. This particular variety is not overpowering. You can put a lot in your cooking and while you will notice it, it will never taste too garlicky. If you are wanting to plant, the Cowichan Valley has a fantastic growing climate. You plant them in the fall (though it is fine to do it in the winter) and harvest them in July. they don't want too much water especially not in spring and the few weeks before you harvest. so they don't take a lot of our precious summer water supply either.
