Garlic, Chesnok Red (organic hardneck)
ORGANIC, local seed! Hardneck variety: Chesnok Red, purple stripe variety, holds shape and retains flavor when cooked. Great choice for baking with a creamy texture. Produces very large bulbs that average 9 to 10 easy to peel cloves. The lovely symmetry of Chesnok bulbs and rich purple coloration have made it a favorite of gardeners and commercial growers alike. From Shvelisi, Republic of Georgia. Hardneck varieties produce scapes (flowering heads) in June. Remove the scapes before they flower to keep energy flowing to the bulb. The scapes are excellent used in place of garlic in any dish.
