Elephant garlic - spring and palm... the garlic better

Somehow it gave us Elephant garlic landing in October. It Luco, garlic, garlic significantly larger. The head was four cloves.

Elephant garlic is a species of leek. It erroneously called Rocambole. Rocambole true - it is the garlic arrows. My not strelkovalsya and looked like a leek. The botanical subtleties will no longer go, write, what to do, see, and how to taste.

Planted in different places between the currant bushes, without pre-treatment. Partly Sunny everyone out. It turned next to manure, Elephant garlic is a respected business (as opposed to the present Rocambole). hole depth was 15 centimeters. Thick top layer of hay to not frozen. Many freezes, can not put so deep and put a little hay.

In March, he hastened to remove the hay, and found the fourth landing, currants something too mulch. As a result, very quickly on the lifeless-looking site appeared strong leaves. To me they looked like a southern vegetation. I called them and was going to plant palm tree Elephant garlic is already in one such ability to delight in spring.

One look at the fourth hay raised! Pale, yellow, and so strong. It freed him from the hay and he soon recovered. Although there was less than others.

errors

I knew Elephant garlic is very fond of reasonable irrigation and nitrogen (again unlike the present Rocambole-garlic). But if we did everything we know... to get him suffering from a lack of nitrogen application and moisture. Palmochki had to be rescued, they were not already beauties.

Just nominally grew our Elephant garlic. Well, that formed the teeth, then, still bravely endured my nedopolivy. Behind only in size.

Cleaning

I cleaned up in early July, before the garlic and onions. Leaves clearly gave the vine all the juices.

It is said that he is not sick and well kept. I had not the volumes to be stored, so I can not say anything. there was no disease.

The taste is not liked. Sharpness is not something with something. Gentle - yes! Garlic smells a little. Nothing sharp or the taste or the smell.

In short, I decided not to put it.

Have you grown Elephant garlic?

I would be grateful for a subscription and chat :)
