Garlic

It is getting a little late in the season, however not to late to plant garlic. 

Look for named varieties such as Monaro Purple and Spanish roja (our favourite). 

All varieties taste a little different, some hot and spicy, some milder. 

The different varieties are suited to different uses in the kitchen... it is all a matter of taste.

You can grow garlic both in the garden and  in containers if you wish, we show you how .
