    Darling Downs Garlic is now selling on ebay. Look us up by searching Australian Garlic - Darling Downs Garlic you can buy either 1kg or 1/2kg. All they details are on the site.
    Not much left now as we are starting the next plant so hurry in and grab some real garlic.
    You can still order direct by emailing [email protected]

    Enjoy.

    Garlic

    Over the years we have tested Glenlarge, Morotop and Printanor, plus countless other varieties. We found that the Printanor was the all round best tasting, best yielding and most hardy, not to mention most attractive (subjective) of all the varieties, hence this is now what we concentrate on.
    The Morotop struggled with the floods but the Printanor stood true and strong as it always does regardless of extreme cold, heat, dry or wet.
    Perhaps this simply is due to our particular climate, who knows......

    Hope this helps.

    info

    We just used the internet and lots of book. Gatton Ag college might be a good one to try as they developed the GlenLarge for QLD conditions.
    Thanks

    Keep your eyes peeled for the announcement when it happens. I bought a kg from Naomi some months ago. Some if it got planted, and every single one has taken off. The rest is being eaten and it's really fresh. Makes me realize just how bad the stuff from the supermarket actually is.

    I planted a fair bit of Naomi's garlic Speedy and can send you some when we harvest it. It is good looking garlic for sure.
