BTW - there's an Elephant Garlic Festival in North Plains (about 10 miles from here) every year in the summer. Lots of fun! I bought the best variety of garlic there last year. Purple-skinned, excellent taste. I wish I knew the variety's name. I would plant some. Last year I planted a clove of elephant and this year, I have my own plant! I'll divide it and replant so I can have a real harvest next year.
