About Majestic Garlic

Majestic garlic is a hard neck, porcelain variety.

It is known to be more disease resistant, originated in Canada and grows well in northern states.

A bulb, made up of 5 to 8 cloves, grows to 1.25 to 1.5 inches in diameter by 1 in tall or larger.  Price is per bulb. A clove typically develops into a bulb when planted.

Seeds, if you choose to grow them by leaving the scapes, are a great addition to soups, casseroles, scrambled eggs or other dishes.

Majestic garlic, known for a mild flavor, stores until early spring.

I have found garlic I have grown does best when planted above a sandy sub-soil giving it a well-drained environment.

Garlic is harvested in July and is available while supplies last. Shipment does not start until August.

Please Note the Following:

Garlic scapes, the top part of the stalk, generally appears in May and when removed promote larger bulbs. The scapes make a delicious pesto, top off a salad or casserole, or an addition to scrambled eggs. Choosing to leave the scapes  may result in smaller bulbs. You might want to leave some scapes and remove some scapes to get the best of both worlds.

Garlic ‘seeds’ can be planted but require 2 growing seasons to produce a bulb. Planting cloves will produce a larger bulb in a shorter time frame (1 growing season: fall to mid-summer).
