First planted in fall of 2015 (10/7/2015)
from the rareseeds website: "(Softneck) Very Rare. This is a big, pearly-pink Artichoke variety that we found growing in an old Santa Fe garden in 1998. It originally had very small cloves the size of sunflower seeds and it is now our biggest softneck garlic. We have sent it to growers across the country and it seems to grow well in both coastal and cold regions – grower Paul Parma in Southern California said he'd never seen a garlic so huge. It has a rich, classic Italian flavor."

Grew this in 2022, my first-time ever actual success with celery (after several previous tries). I was very diligent about watering and the plants grew next to my hoop house, where any rainfall ran off directly onto them. The ribs were very large, crisp, flavorful, and not as stringy as any celery I have purchased in the store - and they stored nicely in the crisper drawer of my refrigerator from early October to the following February.
