Today was garlic planting day. 51 Duganski cloves went in the ground.

This IS NOT elephant garlic.

Its just big because we have been selecting only the largest for 4 years straight.

Each year, we save the largest cloves to plant because the larger the clove, the larger the next crop will be.

Each year they keep getting bigger and bigger. I think this is about as large as a clove can get (the size of an egg)
This variety stores very well.

That's great progress, and will save so much kitchen time - foresightful.
