My brother Larry is our "family supplier" of the best hardneck garlic ever, for the past several years. This year something is happening to his crop. He only plants about 200 and has had to harvest about 50 already. He lives around Scranton, PA. Most of the stalks are bent over and are turning yellow. The few he pulled (just to see what may be happening), have a white mold or fungus on the bulb, which is not yet fully formed. In doing some internet research, looks like it might be "white rot". Is there anything he can put in the soil that might save this crop? Any of your thoughts and comments would be greatly appreciated. We don't know where to turn and are not ready to suck it up yet!

We have been planting a garden for over 20 yrs. My husband started planting garlic about 5 years ago, but it doesn't grow very big, the cloves are flavorful but small, can you advise what you do that is so successful with yours. We have used what we buy from the stores, and maybe they are treated with something. Do you order yours from a nursery intially? Any help you can give is greatly appreciated.

What a bountiful harvest! I like your idea of saving 1/4 of the crop to plant again. I can just about taste that garlic in your photographs. I'd like to try the Georgian Crystal variety.

Did you get to eat any of the garlic stems while they were still green? I love slicing up garlic stems and making a very mild, but still fragrant garlic stem flatbread. Olive oil/garlic stems/goat cheese/lemon juice/zest and some diced tomatoes on top. Yum! Seeing all that home grown garlic is just dreamy!

I wish they sold the georgian crystal garlic in the supermarket. I am in the city and can not grow anything except on my windowsills. I have geraniums doing beautifull on the sills and a huge spike that's about to take over the kitchen table. Its sitting on the kitchen windowsill. Congratulations on such a wonderful harvest of garlic. It will be fun to cook with it all. Mmmmmm Yummy. I can taste your italian dishes from here. Linda Phila., PA Hi Martha:
