Gardening in a Kilt (Buzz Kidder Canvas)

[Bugbear]

My grandfather always grew the largest elephant garlic I ever saw. He always sent some to me via family members. He passed away this past September....this spring will be the first in that I can remember that there won't be any elephant garlic coming up from him

Well... It's not so big at the store usually. Too bad you aren't going to grow your own now.

I like to grow mine in a bed with lots and lots of compost and some sand. In fact, I like to grow it in a raised bed with just compost, like forest mulch, and sand. This year though, I have them in the regular old dirt because i've removed all my raised beds. We'll see how they do.
