Chesnok Red Garlic

Chesnok Red Garlic

Arrived in good condition and cloves/bulbs were a good size. One clove from one bulb was a bit mushy, so I tossed it. The rest planted nicely (late October) and has already sprouted (early January). Crossing my fingers for a nice harvest this fall.

Rotting bulbs

The bulbs arrived rather damp, but we didn't realize they were rotting. We planted that weekend, and discovered many weren't viable. Unfortunately I would estimate half of all of the cloves were rotted and unusable. It was probably just a one off, and we would probably try Territorial Seed again since I don't see anyone else mentioning this issue. Maybe the mail carrier is to blame

So Far, So Good

The bulbs arrived fresh and in good condition. I separated them into cloves and planted them October 7. Every single clove seems to have sprouted and is about 4" tall now. We'll see how they do over the winter.
