I just got the garlic seed I ordered way back - one lb of Music, and one new variety (to me) - Bogotyr. The Bogotyr sort of looks like the Metechi I frequently grow - smaller than most hardnecks, yet it supposedly stores better. I'll find out my first try. I counted the cloves, and there were approximately 80 bogotyr, and 50 music, with only a few very small looking ones (though there might be more inside. I also counted my Estonian Reds and Georgian Fires I labeled as "planters", because they are humongous - a couple only have 2 or 3 cloves, the rest 4, a few GF with 5. But all very large heads. I have 35-40 cloves of each of those. My gardening friend, that I got hooked on gardening in her new place, hasn't tried garlic, but she might want to try some, as I know she uses almost as much as I do! I'll have to discuss it with her - it's only about 2 weeks until time to plant!
