 My purple garlic pics! Harvested all my early purple garlic yesterday as the rust was terrible - but lo and behold its actually lovely! Have cleaned it up a bit and tied in a 'grappe'. I actually took the picture for work (needed a garlic photo!) but thought i'd post it on here as well since i was so pleased with it!

| They look super - what type are they? I have just been trying to work out which is the best garlic to get on the offer from T&M. |

 It was Early Purple garlic, i got it from The Garlic Farm as they do a garlic lovers pack with several varieties, however you can buy this variety individually too 9scroll down the page): http://www.thegarlicfarm.co.uk/shopg...at=Seed+Garlic

| Impressive Protea, I'm just about to dig my garlic up but don't think that it will be as good as that.

| Wow! Lovely - I like things that please the eye as well as the palate! I shall have to think about the garlic farm for mine - bought them with the usual seed order but they've never been that good. (Thinks - maybe it's me!) PS - just looked at the site - I might have to squander a bob or two there this September! Thanks for the link.

| Cheers everyone to be honest i'm suprised they look as good as they do! they looked terrible 'above ground' all covered in rust and i lost a couple to rot, but its amazing what a bowl of warm water and peeling off a few muddy outer skins can do The Garlic Farm were at the good food thing at Gardeners World live - the smell from the smoked garlic they sell was delicious  and they had the most enourmous elephant garlic! its a terrible (but satisfying) addiction this garlic growing!
