The organic garlic I buy is purple.. I'm confused about the colors of garlic now.. please share all your garlic growing experiences ! Quote \| Reply \| Report

Some are even hot (as in spicey). I got my start from http://thegarlicstore.com/index.cgi/INDEX.HTML an trading with other garlic lovers online. Quote \| Reply \| Report
