bigugli Posted July 27, 2011 Report Share Posted July 27, 2011 This year's wet spring may have screwed up the fishing, but it sure made for a great garlic crop. Just finished washing the last pick from this morning. The entire apartment reeks of the stuff Now I can have a couple of days to fish. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

adolson Posted July 27, 2011 Report Share Posted July 27, 2011 I love garlic except when my wife eats it. Argh... Can't they make a garlic that doesn't give you bad breath for a month? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GreenCanada Posted July 27, 2011 Report Share Posted July 27, 2011 Congrats on the bounty! Garlic is one of my favourite ingredients, it goes on everything. Funny thing is my hands never smell after crushing it, nor my breath smell after eating it. I guess I'm a lucky one!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OhioFisherman Posted July 27, 2011 Report Share Posted July 27, 2011 I worked with a couple of guys that took the garlic pills, for health reasons? On a hot summer day they would reek when they walked by. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LucG Posted July 27, 2011 Report Share Posted July 27, 2011 My father had a pretty large harvest this year as well. Very big cloves! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crappieperchhunter Posted July 27, 2011 Report Share Posted July 27, 2011 (edited) Ummmm garlic....love the stuff...now can you cook without it If you get up this fall for some perching Bruce any chance you could bring me 3-4 bulbs so I can start a little patch this fall. I haven't planted it for years cause it's so cheap to buy...but your haul looks so good...it's got me thinking I might have to try it again.

Rob Posted July 27, 2011 Report Share Posted July 27, 2011 (edited) Most people don't know but most of the garlic sold in grocery stores is grown in CHINA! That is why I grow my own! Rob C Edited July 27, 2011 by Rob C Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigugli Posted July 27, 2011 Author Report Share Posted July 27, 2011 (edited) I haven't read one of your posts in a little while. Now I'm jelous. How do you store all of that garlic? Freezer? I just keep it in a cool dry place. You can chop/ crush it, then put it in ice cube trays with a little water and freeze it. You can preserve it in olive oil. Of the garlic I grow, 1/3 goes to pickles, 1/3 for next year's seed, and 1/3 goes to market. Edited July 27, 2011 by bigugli Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigugli Posted July 27, 2011 Author Report Share Posted July 27, 2011 Most people don't know but most of the garlic sold in grocery stores is grown in CHINA! That is why I grow my own! Rob C The Chinese had a huge crop failure last year. They had buyers here offering over $500 a bushel for quality seed garlic. There is also a huge difference in types of garlic. I only grow hard garlic varieties. They have richer oil, stronger flavour, and a purplish hue to the skin. Chinese garlics are usually soft garlic. Easy to plant mechanically, but the lasting quality is iffy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
335396 Posted July 27, 2011 Report Share Posted July 27, 2011 (edited) will a garlic soaked senko be more attractive or disgusting to fish? Edited July 27, 2011 by 335396 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
