Garlic Allium sativum “Grethes supermarked”
For a short time snow cover the garden, and temperatures are below the freezing point. Only a few days ahead temperature will rise above the freezing point again. Garlic roots will not be frozen this time, but anyway, they can take all the frost we get around here.

I love this photo! Here in Adelaide, Australia, where I live, my garlic will never see snow. This image made me smile. Thanks for a peek at your place.

Wow, do you already have snow? Even earlier than us!
November 24, 2008 at 22:56
Snow? We just have frozen ground, no snow. So will it melt away as quick as its come or will it hang around for awhile?

The snow has been around since saturday (4 days) – I expect it to melt tomorrow or the day after. Due to the cold northern wind, we had this snow in a narrow belt along the danish and swedish øresundcoast: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Øresund
Snow in Denmark is not coming on fixed dates. Normally it last for less than a day, sometimes for more days, and then maybe every ten years we get a lot of snow that last for months, and the baltic sea will freeze.

Interesting. The baltic sea will freeze? I’ve learned something new.

Well, who knows? With change of climate it might never happen again.

Nice looking Garlic. In Idaho we raise our own. The wife and I started eating a clove a day chopped with water. Two weeks later she fell backwards into my post pile and broke two ribs .. a week later she was in the hospital with a blood clot to the lungs.
She never got pneumonia from either nor did she catch anything at the hospital. I credit the garlic reaching through all the chemicals the docs gave her .. that kept her well.
Our grand kids going to college and coming to visit with terrible colds .. didn’t touch either of us. The Garlic.
Read “Garlic and You” thirty years of scientific proof that garlic works wonders for you. I call it God’s Number One gift.

Hope your wife is well.
I don’t mind garlic being healthy, just love the taste.
What varieties thrive in Idaho?

I think all of them .. I have tried a few. Idaho is a “no fly zone” for non certified garlic. They are not allowed to be planted here unless you get them from a nursery.
I am just starting to use a wok. The standard start is oil, garlic, ginger and onion. Sounds good to me.
