I can't say enough about its staying power! Here it is May 10, and the bulbs I harvested last August are nowhere near sprouting. I've been cutting up all but the last 5 bulbs to dehydrate for garlic powder, and only one of about 100 cloves had a bit of green in the middle.

My hardneck garlics only lasts to February 1 before they begin to sprout. Does anyone know of a longlasting hardneck?

Also, my spaghetti squash are better than ever, nice and dry. There must be something to this dry mountain climate.
