If you are looking for a larger flavor profile, hardneck garlic is more known for its robust flavor too! Softneck Garlic Most often with hardneck garlic, bulbs produce smaller quantities of cloves but on the other hand, these cloves are often much larger. It is vital to their shelf life, as short as it may be, that the stems have the chance to cure. Upon harvest, you will also find that, as the name suggests, the necks of the garlic are sturdy. Mid-season we go through to harvest the garlic scapes telling the plant to put its resources into growing large bulbs. Scapes are produced as the bulbs are beginning to form. Hardneck varieties are most commonly known for the flower they send-off. I hope this breakdown helps you choose what works for you. Now that I've grown both and have dove into researching the two umbrellas I have figured out that the differences can really make or break your harvest. When I first started growing garlic I took it for face value. So we hear that garlic breaks down into two main categories, Hardneck and Softneck. As I audit my usage and what I plan to use for the next year I decided to really do the research to find the best growing options for me. I am looking at doubling, if not tripling, what I need to grow for this next season. Through this whole process, I've realized that 'cutting it close' is the understatement of the year in regards to my garlic harvest. The last of mine are being incorporated into fire cider, my mom's best-canned salsa recipe and my best friend's canned Italian pasta sauce recipe! I've put a few bulbs to the side for cooking through the winter, though I know it won't be enough!

In colder areas, Garlic should be planted around the time of your first fall frost in more temperate areas, it may be planted from mid-October through early December. Hardnecks send up a stiff flower stalk and are more cold hardy than their Softneck siblings. Prized for its medicinal and culinary attributes, there are two types of Garlic: Softnecks and Hardnecks.
