The Deal: Music Seed Garlic – $34.99 at Peaceful Valley Farm & Garden Supply
The Scoop: Mid-October is the time to get garlic in the ground. If you want to mix up your usual Amish Rocambole crop, this Porcelain hardneck is a great addition. It grows huge, easy-to-peel cloves and crisp edible scapes in the spring. The flavor is rich but medium in heat. It won't overpower your food.
Why It's a Great Find: We don't earn a commission on this link. We're sharing it simply because it's a solid buy for the gang. Hardneck varieties need a good winter chill to thrive. They do very well in cold-weather gardens. Each bulb yields four to seven broad cloves.
