Garlic evaluations April 19/2019

APRIL 19, 2019

Looked at the big bed of garlic varieties to see how they were doing.

The Fitzki variety is far superior to any of the others It is bigger, greener, more even than any other named variety.

Here is how the others ranked
Music and Italian were not as good but second best- not as big but 80-90% as good
Yugoslavian and German hardneck were next best
Red Russian and Mexican purple were after that
Spanish Roja and Bogatyr were the second worst
Duganksi and German Red were the worst- smaller, sparser, not as even

in the Raised bed, the new varieties bought and planted last fall
All appear to be growing well
Purple Glazer is the greenest
Thai, Japanese and Rose de Latrec were doing well but paler
