[ Garlic | Leek | Onion | Perennial Onion ]
ORGANIC CERTIFICATION UPDATE: We were able to get organic certification on part of our farm this year (more information on that in the 2007 A Year In Review section). This means over the next 2 years we will be listing everything that we grow here at our farm as Certified Organic. We have many varieties in this year's catalog which are being offered as CERTIFIED ORGANIC. If the item is being offered as CERTIFIED ORGANIC, it will have an OG after the price of the seeds.

Garlic
Note: We are no longer sending out garlic plants. We are shipping only bulblets. You may order these on the seed order form. Please remember with bulblets that not every bulblet will grow.
Marie's Special: This very special garlic comes to us from our neighbor who first provided us with the start several years ago. The garlic is the topsetting kind that produces numerous small bulblets at the tops of the stalks in August which in turn can be planted for more plants the following season. The bulbs on this type are small but very flavorful. I have had great success by planting the bulblets in the Fall and transplanting the young plants in the Spring. You may order the topsets to plant, and are available either in the Spring or the Fall. Please note on the order form which time you would prefer. If we run out of topsets in the Spring, we will hold your order and send them in the Fall. Pkt. (about 300 topsets) for $3.00 (postpaid).
Old Homestead: An heirloom topsetting garlic sent to us by Tom Greenwood of Oklahoma. Produces much larger bulbs than does Marie's Special Garlic, but does very well when planted from the topsetting bulblets. Pkt. (about 200 topsets) for $3.00 (postpaid). (Fall shipment only.)
Moano Special: A topsetting garlic producing medium sized, very strong flavored bulbs. Pkt. (50 topsets) for $3.00 (postpaid). (Limit 1 Pkt.) (Fall shipment only.)
Leek
Leeks culture: Culture is similar to onions.
Ester Cook: 120 days. Very tall, thin, white leek. Excellent quality. Pkt. $1.25 OG
Scotland: 90 days. Shorter stalks. Good variety for over-wintering. (Unavailable for 2008.)
Onion (Seed)
Onion culture: Best suited to being planted direct seeded as soon as possible in the spring. Keep weed-free. Thin and transplant later as needed.
Red Wethersfield: 130 days. Large deep red slicing onion. Pkt. $1.50 (Sold Out for the rest of the 2008 season)
White Portugal: 105 days. Best used as a green onion. Pkt. $1.50
Yellow Sweet Spanish: 115 days. Large, yellow globe, average keeper onions will store well until January or February. Pkt. $1.25 (Sold Out for the rest of the 2008 season)
Onion (Perennial)
Egyptian Winter: A very nice treat in the early Spring when they are frequently the first things edible from the garden. This is a topsetting type, where you harvest the topsets in late August, separate them, and then plant them. The roots grow slowly all winter and you eat the tender shoots as mild green onions first thing in the Spring. The topsets will be shipped in late August. (Rabbits destroyed our entire parent stock in March, 2007. Please check website for updates on availability and pricing in mid-summer.)
