Leningrad Garlic

This garlic is Porcelain type.

Honestly this wasn’t one of my favorite garlics. At least so far it’s not very acclimated to my garden, but even keeping that in mind the plants don’t seem very productive. Many bulbs of this variety seem to form only 2 cloves. There’s nothing wrong with this, but it’s a little odd.

What I like about this garlic, is the name. For whatever reason the garlic growing community decided not to update it according to the new name Leningrad has. There’s nothing wrong with this, after all we don’t go into a Chinese restaurant and order Beijing Duck do we? We order Peking Duck!
