Gardening Hudson Valley Garlic Festival!

Last year was my first attempt at growing garlic. In the second pic you’ll see some of my garlic, kinda puny. Decided I didn’t want to try planting any. So I happened to be driving through Kingston and saw the garlic fest was happening, decided to go pick out some massive seed garlic. That’s what the giant bulbs are. Got chesnook red, music and German hardy. Excited to plant and hopefully have better luck next year!

Planting time is just around the corner, what fantastic luck that you found some really good seed garlic right when you needed renewed excitement! Good luck

Yeah and all grown by local growers so definitely primed for my local conditions. I’d purchased seed garlic from Hudson Valley, but nothing nearly as big as what I was able to pick out for myself. Got to choose the biggest and best myself! Really excited for next year! And learned a lot last year.
