Native Creole - (Creole) from BERNIER FARMS in Healdsburg, CA - Naturally grown without the use of chemical fertilizers or chemical pesticides. A creole garlic with a high sugar content, moderate heat and a rich flavor. One of the longest storing creoles of all the creole garlics. 7-10 brightly colored everly sized cloves around a central hard stem. One of the best garlics for eating raw. Where winters are milder (like our area) garlic is planted from October through January.

Garlic will make the largest bulbs in fertile soil with lots of organic matter, so amend your soil as necessary.

Break the bulbs into individual cloves and plant 4-6" apart in rows that are 12" apart. Aprox 1" deep, root side down.

Fertilize in spring with a little chicken manure and a slow release organic fertilizer like cottonseed meal or Cal Organic 7-5-7.

Harvest is based on the type of garlic. Once the tops start to die down usually June-July.
