About Montana Garlic
Montana garlic, while milder and sweeter taste compared to other stronger kinds, it still has a slightly spicey flavor. It tastes similar to Music garlic.
It is a hard neck, porcelain variety.
Price is per bulb. Montana garlic averages 6 cloves in a bulb. Each clove typically develops into a bulb when planted. Bulbs are 1.5 to 2 inches in diameter by 1 inch in height.
Seeds, if you choose to grow them are a great addition to soups, casseroles, scrambled eggs or other dishes.
Montana garlic stores longer into the spring season and is known for disease resistance.
I have found garlic I have grown does best when planted above a sandy sub-soil giving it a well-drained environment.
Please Note the Following:
Garlic scapes, the top part of the stalk, generally appears in May and when removed promote larger bulbs. The scapes make a delicious pesto, top off a salad or casserole, or an addition to scrambled eggs. Choosing to leave the scapes may result in smaller bulbs. You might want to leave some scapes and remove some scapes to get the best of both worlds. Learn how to use scapes by clicking on this link: Garlic: Year 3 – A Country Girl’s Heart -Beats that Matter
Garlic ‘seeds’ can be planted but require 2 growing seasons to produce a bulb. Planting cloves will produce a larger bulb in a shorter time frame (1 growing season: fall to mid-summer).
