GARLIC -  ELEPHANT GARLIC

Allium ampeloprasum

Elephant Garlic can grow to 2m tall and form bulbs of up to 1 Kg but is usually quite a bit smaller.It is in fact a member of the leek family that has the taste of garlic. Some people prefer this garlic flavour because it is not quite so harsh. It has a tall, solid, flowering stalk and broad, flat leaves much like those of the leek, but it forms a bulb consisting of very large, garlic-like cloves.  Leaving the harvested bulb for a couple of months to dry out before consuming increases the flavour for those who wish a more intense garlic flavour.

Sow in early autumn and spring. Sow 6 seeds between the distance of 30cm. They love very fertile soil. Ensure plenty of water. During the growing period hill the plants with soil 2 or 3 times higher with each hoeing. This forces the leaves higher up the plant, the result being extra long blanched stalks, making greater edible portion
