Harvested ~50 garlic bulbs today. On the far right is Musik and the two photos to the left are Northern White.
I have tried several different garlics here in Michigan. I continue to propagate these two.
I cut & pasted info from my plant spreadsheet below:
Allium sativum ophios 'Musik' 2014, Stiffneck or Ophio Garlic, AL-ee-um, 18 in Bulb,Z4, buff-colored cloves streaked with red, V1
(Hardneck Porcelain) There are three main types of hardneck garlic: rocambole, porcelain and purple stripe. Canada hardneck. A hardy, high-yielding hardneck porcelain variety from Canada (grows well in northern climates). Very large bulbs yield 4 to 5 cloves. Good flavor. Easy to peel. Stores 6-10 months. Large in 2013. Musik and Northern White did best in 2013. Harvested ~25 in 2013. Harvested ~27 Musik in 2014 on aug 1st."
Allium sativum ophios 'Northern White' 2014, Stiffneck or Ophio Garlic, AL-ee-um, 18 in Bulb,Z4, 4-6 cloves per bulb, V1
Porcelain type hardneck garlic producing large bulbs. Thick, papery-white outer wrappers encase 4 to 6 large, fat, elongated cloves. Full-bodied spicy flavor, good for roasting. Easy to peel. This one grew the best for me. Good harvest in 2011. ~6 cloves per bulb. Grew best again in 2012 & 2013. Good harvest in 2013. ~25 bulbs. Good harvest in 2014, ~25."
