We grow garlic out here on commercial farms. And       a lot for seeds too. Trying to figure out what variety       they are is TOP SECRET. The only thing I can tell you       about them is that they are soft neck.              I have a feral bin just for such silliness. I planted       green onion onions stubs from the grocery store and       two years later they are still going at it! At       Songbird's direction, I even collected seeds to try       to grow them legitimately this years.              I have some garlic in the feral bin that is three       years old. What a mess. Looks like grass growing       at this point. Grass shoots that taste like garlic.       Hmmmm..... Maybe I pick those???              Commercial growers are not going to choose things       that are hard to grow.              So basically what Songbird said. Give it a try! Love       to hear back on the results.              --- SoupGate-Win32 v1.05        * Origin: you cannot sedate... all the things you hate (1:229/2)    |
