We grew two varieties this year, one of Russian extraction, the other
either Italian or German (I can't remember). They're both hard-necked
varieties with purplish skins. I don't know how well they'll keep, but
they've got huge cloves, are easy to peel, and are plenty garlicky.

How far north are you? I ordered 5 hardnecked varieties. I'm in
Zone 4, more or less, in Alaska.

Curmudgeon and Crone, eh? Hmm. You sound like good neighbors.
We're a little on the grumpy side ourselves ;-)

The hardnecks only store for 3-4 months, from what I gather.
Eat 'em up and enjoy. I don't know how Filaree holds their seed stock
from one year to the next.

It's sure hard to pick which to order, from 50-60 varieties, huh?
