Hello Garlic Lovers,
The garlic harvest is underway! We have harvested some of our earlier varieties, and so far, the harvest is looking great! In spite of the prolonged drought we had in June and the first half of July, the garlic has sized up nicely, thanks to the straw mulch that we use, which helps to maintain moisture.
We currently have 23 varieties in cultivation and 17 available for purchase: Polish, Persian, Israeli, Russian, Korean, Italian, Sicilian, Salt Spring Island, Chinese, Ukrainian, Former Yugoslavian, Rose de Lautrec, Northern Quebec, Siberian, and for the first time ever, Romanian, Tibetan, and Cuban! Each variety is unique in flavour, shape, size, and cloves per bulb — making it easy to fall in love with them all.
Our other varieties — Argentinean, Japanese, Transylvanian, Czech, Guatemalan, and Charlie’s Sicilian — will be available for purchase in the coming growing seasons. However, if you order by this Friday, July 27th, you qualify for our EARLY BIRD BONUS and will receive 2 free bonus bulbs from these rare and otherwise unavailable varieties. You can
place your order right now.
A few other great Garlicky opportunities:
1. The Cutting Veg is also offering our “Garlic Lovers Organic Variety Packs” this season, for folks who aren’t yet addicted to certain varieties, and want to sample a wide spectrum, at a discount price. We are also now offering Garlic Gift Bags, and Ugly Garlic Bags. And for Farmers and others wanting larger quantities, we are now offering bulk purchasing options. Place your order.

Daniel
