What You Get

• 1 lb of premium hardneck garlic
• 3–4 seasonal varieties hand-selected for vigor, flavor, and beginner-friendly success
  May include favorites like German White, Chesnok Red, Music, or Georgia/German Red. Exact mix varies with the harvest.

Why It’s Perfect for First-Timers

• Bigger start, better finish: plant the largest cloves to stack the deck for chunkier bulbs next summer.
• Taste test built in: compare varieties side-by-side, then come back for your favorites in bulk.
• Plant it or plate it: great as seed stock and outrageously good in the kitchen.

Quick-Start Planting (Save This)

1. Timing: Plant in fall, about 4–6 weeks before ground freeze in your area.
2. Prep: Sunny, well-drained bed + compost. Garlic hates soggy feet.
3. Break bulbs: Separate into cloves just before planting. Pointy end up.
4. Spacing: 6–8" between cloves, 12–15" between rows, 2–3" deep.
5. Mulch: After the first hard frost, mulch with straw/leaves to protect and suppress weeds.
6. Spring tip: Snap scapes when they curl—eat them, and push energy back to the bulb.

What to Expect

• Roughly 40–60 cloves per pound (variety-dependent).
• A 10×10 ft plot at 6–8" spacing uses ~225–400 cloves—start small, learn fast, scale next season.
