Easy-to-peel heads are wrapped in very attractive, striped w

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
