Look for these articles every week. It seems as though fall is years away, but it is coming. One of the more interesting fall crops is elephant garlic. It is also milder than garlic. It is similar to leek, a mild-flavored member of the onion family.
People use garlic to eat or for medicinal reasons.
Plant elephant garlic from mid-September through November 1. Though it can be planted as late as spring, earlier planting gives better yields. The best planting time is probably in October. Plant in full sun areas in will-drained soil. It does not generally produce viable seed.
