Part of the reason I need a blog is torecord what varieties I actually grow in a year, rather than have a hazy memory of months later. I'm not absolutely sure which variety of garlic I put in last year, other than it was the only variety available in the local garden centre, bought on impulse. Which is a pity, as it has done very well, producing a heavy (literally) crop of very large bulbs with no sign of rust whatsoever. A number of the larger bulbs did split, but careful harvesting ensured little earth ended up in the cavity, so they should keep quite well if dried properly.
