OH NOOOOO! Sorry, but these have now sold out for the season :-(

Garlic - Elephant Massive, mild, sweet flavoured Garlic - Excellent for roasting with meat or roasting and eating as part of your side dishes.

In optimal conditions, these bulbs will get up to cricket ball in just one season. Elephant garlic lasts for months and months hanging in the kitchen.

It has great health benefits when you use it raw in salads, dressings, butter or sandwiches. It will form a seal naturally over any cuts, so just refrigerate any unused portion until next time. Elephant Garlic is high in plant sugar levels and will burn easily if fried at high temperatures, so add near the end of your cooking. Use finely chopped Elephant Garlic at the end of stir-fries.

Mmmmmmm!



Garlic is one of the easiest crops to grow...  it will thrive, and give you plenty of delicious meals if given the basics - food, water and plenty of sun. 

Garlic is packed full of goodness, both health properties and intense flavour! what more could you ask for?

The best time to be planting Garlic cloves is mid May through to late July.

Garlic are hungry wee things, so preparing your soil is very important - dig in some sheep pellets, well rotted compost, and other goodies such as general purpose fertilizer and Lime, well before planting. You want your soil smelling nice and earthy.
