Hi everyone. I know that I am probably posting this a little before the final garlic harvest has occurred, but I am hoping that someone might be growing some Music garlic that they would be willing to trade. A bulb or two or even some bulbils would be much appreciated. I have some great looking Chesnok Red garlic curing in the garage to offer, as well as some bulbils developing on plants still in the ground. I could also offer seeds for: Bachelor's buttons Sweet peas Catnip And assuming that things continue going well with the tomatoes: 6 pound giant tomato Cherokee purple tomato Red brandywine tomato Large red cherry tomato Sweet red grape tomato (from F-1 hybrid) Huando (from Dave) Porter (from Dave) Csereznyealaku Cherry (also from Dave) Ruffled Yellow (again from Dave - he's the best  Black Cherry (from Dave) Polar Circle (from Dave) Gulf State Market (from Dave) Yellow Lemon (from Dave) Thank you. Patty |

Patty: What is music garlic? I hazard a guess that the scapes look like musical notes or something like that?

Patrick - that would be fantastic! Thank you. Would you like any Chesnok Red garlic in return? (I didn't see it on your list of garlic.) Or anything else from my list?
Patty

I guess you have some lined up butif anyone else wants a commercial source we grow garlic still has some for sale, as of two or so days ago, when I was last at their site. They have LOTS of garlics. I choose three which can store for up to a year, and they were among those the people from we grow garlic keep in their kitchens so they must be tasty too. One hardneck and two softnecks I believe it was......

If you grow Music from bulbils, it will be 4 years before the maximum size will be obtained. The bulbils aren't much bigger than a grain of wheat. After one year, a round not much bigger than a pea is obtained. Planted back, it results in a round less than an inch across. When that is planted, divided bulb is obtained. Those cloves will them produce a normal bulb. That is exactly the same with Estonian Red and I've done both! Karen & Mike of www.wegrowgarlic.com are getting a tremendous amount of orders this year and many are already sold out despite all still hanging. I'm a little nervous about it this year. I was just there a few days ago and don't like how it's drying. Since mine weren't behaving as they should, I wanted to see how they were doing in the barn granary. As with mine, not quite warm enough or dry enough and they have big fans for circulation 24/7. We planted 22,758 cloves last fall so there is an awful lot of garlic involved. Between the two fields, I've figured that 40,000 would be a comfortable number without crowding. However, we're aiming at ONLY 30,000 this fall! Martin |

They grow Music around here and are easy to get at most farmer's market. I can try shipping you some bulbs if you remind me in a week or so.
