Garlic Bulb (3 Pack), Fresh California SOFTNECK Garlic Bulb for Planting and Growing Your OWN Garlic, Buy Country Creek Brand ONLY NOT FAKES

NEW REVIEW FOR 2023: This is our 2nd year ordering these garlic bulbs. This year, the bulbs we received are even more beautiful! They are large, white bulbs, with not a speck of mildew. We were so happy with last year's harvest that we are planting 3x the amount this year. Worth noting, last winter (our first year of planting these bulbs) was one of the coldest winters on record here in zone 7B. When the freezing temps arrived, we covered our garlic row with frost cloth and every plant made it. It was a very harsh winter for this region with temps in the low teens. After harvesting, we dried and cured, then ran it through the food processor then froze in air-tight bags. This made it handy for cooking since it was already chopped. HERE IS MY ORIGINAL REVIEW FROM LAST YEAR: We wanted to add garlic to our winter garden (zone 7B). Planted two rows of these garlic bulbs a few weeks before the first frost. All emerged. We only planted the ones that looked prime and used the rejects for cooking but had plenty to fill the bed. First photo was taken last fall, shortly after planting. Second photo was taken this spring, after harvesting. These guys all survived a very unseasonably cold winter in North Carolina with lows in the teens. We did harvest them a bit earlier than planned due to a deluge of rain in the spring. We have heavy clay soil so rot is always a threat when it rains for too many consecutive days. Even though we had to harvest early, still pleased with the results and will be planting them again this fall.

These GARLIC BULB (20 Pack), FRESH CALIFORNIA SOFTNECK packages, are totally excellent and hey, 20 x 10 -13 segments are a massive amount of growth potential and easy to separate. I ordered 2 of these 20 bulb packs and am extremely happy with my purchase with the big volume coming from these huge bulbs. I have separated and planted all but two of the bulbs and there was no rotting or discoloring at all in any segments- this is a good company to do business with! Saving two for eating in various dishes was a great idea- this garlic tastes good, and I am looking forward to future harvesting. Great find!

Great garlic cloves - good size and fresh. UPDATE: Every clove I planted sprouted and is growing nicely!

There were a lot of good sized garlic to plant. I got around 40 or 50 that were plant worthy.

I would not recommend. I purchased 2 different varieties of garlic, when I received these they were broken up, very dry and seemed old. I’ve planted garlic for many years and have never had trouble. After fall planting these have shriveled up, my carrier over garlic is bigger than ever, very disappointed with the garlic I purchased.

The garlic bubs were a good size and arrived well. I planted them all over my yard trying to keep bugs away from my herbs, tomato and other veggie plants and to my surprise they sprouted super fast in less than a week. My other plants seem to have less bugs now so I think planting the garlic around them is working. I also planted at least one clove next to my baby pecan tree, grape vine and 4 other small fruit trees for the same reason and those sprouted too, though I still have lots of ants (and maybe aphids) on the grape vine. If all goes well in a few months I'll be harvesting way too much garlic, lol.

I am very impressed with this garlic! Large bulbs and cloves. Its already planted in my garden and I can't wait to see how it does! the delivery was quick an the product was an excellent quality! update 10/23/2018: 100% germination rate! this is the best garlic I've ever planted. I can't wait to see what the harvest will be like! Update 4/17/2024: I can't say enough great things about this garlic. I have been saving the biggest and best bulbs to plant each fall and I am amazed at the results. I bought 40 bulbs and now grow hundreds of bulbs each year for selling at farmers market. Germination is almost 100%. The bulbs do vary in size but each year I am harvesting bigger bulbs. The flavor is milder than other garlic varieties (music, Siberian hardneck, ect.) but its still wonderful. I have made garlic garnules, powder, and froze it with great results. I just wanted to come back and edit my review to say how much I love this garlic. Thank you!
