I think this particular one came from The Garlic Store in the US (there's a link on the front page). Are you interested in trying some garlic? You are pretty far north, but between Soren who lives near Copenhagen and I, we could probabaly find something that would grow well in your garden. I don't know if I have any turban garlic left, but I could have a look if you were interested. If you are interested, send me an email at weblogxl@patnsteph.net Hi Tyra,

If you only plant one bulb, and a mole comes along and eats it, then it's gone. Kathy at Skippy's Garden had a good idea, she got some garlic from a local farmer's market and is going to plant that. Then you know it's local, and you get a chance to taste it before you plant it. Good luck! Hi Robin,

The moles ate all but one, which I accidentally pulled as a weed in my late-summer zeal. UGH. I will start over again. Need to find different varieties... --Robin (Bumblebee) I have to complain just a little…I planted garlic for the fall (it overwinters nicely here).
