The garlic planted last fall is looking great! The Inchelium Red has begun to turn and they have been blown over for the most part due to strong winds out of the north. We have had a few good thunderstorms lately. I am going to assume that the Inchelium Red are a softneck variety that can be braided, but don't quote me on that! The other variety that I planted are Samarkand and these are without a doubt hardneck garlic! They are still standing and there is no way I could imagine anyone braiding them. These developed scapes and the Inchelium Red did not. I broke off the scapes today and thought I might try using them in stir fry. I don't have enough to try pickling them, but maybe next year.
