Garlic Bulb (7 Bulbs), Fresh Siberian HARDNECK Garlic Bulb for Planting and Growing Your OWN Garlic OR Eating

Product arrived just fine. I broke the bulbs apart and planted them in the fall. A week ago I harvested them after tops had browned out and folded over. This garlic is amazing! This was the first time I've planted garlic that produced such large heads. The flavor is delicious, whether cooked in an entrée or used raw in a salad dressing. Definitely recommend, and I would buy again from this seller. August 2023 I bought another order of garlic. One bulb is dried up. Will have to rethink ordering from this company again.

I was impressed when I received the 7 garlic bulbs. They all were fresh and firm. I broke them apart and soaked for about 2 hours and they had grown roots that quickly. I planted them and in a few days some of them had already come up. I would definitely purchase again!

I can't tell you how disappointed I was with these. So many of the cloves were old, shriveled, or rotting. The cloves that weren't were tiny and likely not suitable for growing at all. I was only able to harvest 20 suitable cloves for planing from 7 bulbs. Next time I try to plant garlic im absolutely going to go with a different supplier. So very disappointed

Arrived in a white crinkly bag, packaged simply with very big- large garlic. No blemishes on these and they were not soft, and they are perfect. Can’t wait to plant these! Will edit this review in the future with updates. I know right now isn’t the perfect time to plant the garlic for eating, but I’ll plant one just to see how it goes. I’m mainly wanting these garlic for aesthetics in the flower garden, not for eating. Will edit soon! EDIT: 2024, ALREADY SEEING GREEN SPROUTS GROWING OUT IN MARCH! All are growing!! Perfect! Very happy!

About the shipping: Ordered Oct 30th, arrived Nov 6th & planted Nov 7th 2023. Soon as I placed order within a few hours on Oct 30th I received notice it had shipped with tracking number supplied. I began worrying about order when usps tracking number showed no progress in days to follow and just stated usps waiting for package both on Amazon tracking and usps website. Then Nov 2nd finally it was scanned and showed some movement which then arrived in Central NJ Nov 6th so figured I get this out there in case someone else gets similar shipping tracking. Now for the garlic, this is my first time planting garlic so can't comment on the quality or if it is fresh enough for planting. I ordered 7 bulbs & received 7 bulbs. This garlic was described as being siberian hardneck and because I know nothing about varieties out there I cannot say if it is true siberian bulbs but am confident sellers know what they are selling. None looked dry, rotten or crushed when I pulled them apart. Out of the 7 bulbs I got 54 outer cloves and 13 inner smaller ones. I planted all 54 outer and 6 more of the inner ones. Then added 18 more cloves from a different variety of hardnecks to fill rest of my planter box. I dropped them into each pre dug hole and topped everything with about 2" of top dressing. Then lightly sprinkled some fresh grass clippings. Today's CNJ temps are up close to 70 then tomorrow mid 60 but will come down to 50's in the coming days which I will be topping everything with some mulch in coming weeks. Now just have to wait to see what happens with all the work I put into this first time attempt. There is about 15" of saw dust, compost, sand, clay mix that was screened through 1/4" for garlic to grow into on top of planter with another 15" of tree trimmings and card board linings down under. :Editing to try and get pics in order of progress. Fencing covering bed is being used to keep squirrels from digging and will be used to hold down leaves from blowing when they are added. Nov18th edit: out of 78 cloves planted I've got my first sprout. I've added more top cover of mowed over leaves, fresh grass clippings and wood stove ash. Dec11th update edit: started this planter with 60 of these siberian and added 18 of another type of white hardneck and while I did see quick sprouts I am only seeing 18 sprouts which I'm now guessing are just the other white hardneck. I do not know where they were all placed but it seems right to guess no siberian garlic has yet come up so hoping spring time they will. Been adding mulched leaves in small amounts and will continue to do so as winter hits with colder weather. March 6th 2024 edit: Don't want to leave this review unsettled so here is the progress so far. Today I dug up the final lost sprout which was deep and growing downward, felt like I dug up hundreds of worms trying to find all the missing sprouts (about 20 did not poke through on their own) during these last 10 days or so. So with this last one found I have a total of 78 growing out of 78 total that were started. 100% germination in this bed for both varieties I planted. Now have to wait to harvest time to see the final end result.

I have been growing hard neck garlic for eighteen years, harvesting the bulbs in July and planting the cloves in October. For the first time, this year's harvest was really bad. So.... I am unable to plant the few bulbs harvested for next year's crop. I searched for a source of hard neck bulbs online and decided to order from "Big Tom Callahans Market" on Amazon. The order was promptly sent but a mistake was made with a portion being soft neck bulbs. Replacements were promptly shipped and I am ready to plant this year's crop in October. I recommend this garlic source whether you want it for planting or eating.

2nd order of the Siberian hardneck garlic placed a month (11/14/22) after 1st order (10/18/22) was very disappointing. Considerably smaller in size. Received what appeared to be 5 1/2 bulbs instead of 7. Majority of bulbs were broken into pieces. Just not satisfied. The garlic received was planted and is currently coming up in my garden. Maybe this second order was leftover remnants. If you don't have enough to fill orders, don't take the orders after a certain point. Not sure what went wrong on vendors end. 1st order was spectacular. This vendor has a product consistency issue.

Beautiful bulbs. Highly recommend this garlic and seller. Can't wait to plant. THANK YOU!!!

USPS is NOT ideal re:shipping cost and delivery time too lengthy.

Don't even think about it
