I'd like to, but am not in a geologic position to.

I usta buy purple garlic, when I lived in CA. Here in CO, only see
white garlic fer sale.

I also usta buy "peeled" garlic from the Mexican fruit stand jes around
the corner from where I usta live. The "mamasitas" would peel it by
hand and sell it in little bags fer $1USD. I had "peeled" garlic
anytime I needed it, as the fruitstand was jes around the corner.
Peeled garlic would last abu0t a week in my fridge.
