I am not sure when my love affair with garlic began, but I started growing it in earnest in 1976 and have been growing it ever since. Garlic keeps the blood flowing. There are just too many interesting varieties to stop at just one or two. So - a victim of creative descriptions in seed catalogs - I now grow a lot. 27 varieties to be exact (and also Elephant Garlic, which is actually a kind of leek), totaling about 1300 bulbs. Hey - my family is Sicilian. What can I say. I am willing to share.

We are a small family farm, so our crop is by some standards, somewhat limited. By keeping small, we ensure that each bulb gets individual attention; all weeds are hand-pulled; we use absolutely no pesticides; and although we are not paying the extra money to become organically certified, rest assured all our garlic, herbs, and other plants are grown using organic methods.
