young softneck garlic from Plot95 from my 2011 archive

May 10, 2011

Hello garlic! continued...

Look at those roots, I love the lines they create. They are like veins, literally. While rearranging the beds in Plot95, I had to pull out some of the softneck and hardneck garlic to transplant to another bed. I was having a major allergy attack that day, so my energy quickly declined. I replanted most of them, but not all. I gave away some of the softneck garlic to a fellow gardener and brought home the rest with no specific plan.

I ended up chopping them, and sautéing them with olive oil, salt, pepper, mushrooms, tomatoes, and beaten eggs. I served it over rice; simple and surprisingly wonderful. The flavor was sweet, less sharp than an onion, and not quite garlicky yet. I plan to do a succession planting of them sometime soon. I have a feeling many of them will never grow into bulbs--just too good to eat while young. I am hooked.
