Garlic Planting Stock
As I usually do every year around this time, I have some extra garlic planting stock to offer to people reading this blog.
This year I grew 90+ varieties, and harvested them at the beginning of August before we left on our trip. With around 1000 bulbs in total, it’s going to take me a while to go through them and figure out exactly what I have. I probably won’t be sending any to anyone for at least a month or so. Planting time is usually November (at least for those of us in the northern hemisphere), so there’s still plenty of time.
I can’t send any garlic to the US! Sorry. If you’re interested, I can reccommend some places to buy garlic planting stock. I also can’t send it anywhere else with import restrictions for this kind of thing. The European Union is no problem, and many other places are also no problem.
If I have traded seeds or planting material with you before, I will pay part of the postage. If you have something to trade now, I will pay all the postage. Otherwise you have to pay postage. Contact me for details. I accept cash in most common currencies, certainly US dollars, Euros and UK Pounds. People in the EU can also pay by bank transfer (payment in this way outside of the EU is also possible, but the bank fees are at your own expense).
If you’re interested, please send me an email (see the contact page) or leave a comment below making sure to fill your email address in the field provided. I’ll get back to you with more details, including estimated costs and some information on the varieties I have.
For people coming to the Oxford meeting on 20 September, I’ll probably have some garlic planting stock with me then, hopefully enough for everyone who wants some. You could still send me an email and arrange this in advance if you want to.

Hi Patrick
Just a quick note to say I’ll probably have to pass on your meet, I really can’t say whether I’ll be a position to attend so it’s probably best if I give up my places. Sorry about that, wish I could have been more certain. Hope it turns out to be a success, good luck with it x
Soon to write a post about garlic here. I wanted to send you a head of Aomori garlic as mentioned a good while back. Unfortunately all four didn’t split into cloves. I’m going to plant them anyway… Perhaps another time.
Hi Adrian,
I just realized you changed your RSS feed address, and so I haven’t been getting your posts for the last three months. I thought you were being a little quiet! All fixed now.
I understand about the garlic. No problem. I plan to cut back to about half the number of varieties anyway. I just ran into someone in Sweden with more than 100 varieties, most of which I don’t have. I’m going to do some trading with him, and really in the end I’ll have more varieties than I can manage anyway.
Hi Patrick – Just to let you know that I will be attending! Had forgotten about it(sorry!) but then again, I also forget what I did the night before, so no surprises there! I will have a bit of a look about to find more details now I’m here! And yes please to garlic please! Cat xxx
Just reading your blog inspired me to increase my fall planting of garlic! Typically, I only plant a small plot, but this year I’ve doubled the size. Thanks!
