5. We have a very large garlic farm about a mile from us. Good loamy soil and drainage.

Love garlic. Almost any way. Except when it offends even me in the morning after eating a meal with lots of chopped raw garlic.

Used to work north of Gilroy, CA (The Garlic Capital of the US). The odors wafting up were amazing. Then the Chinese sort of took over shipping garlic to the US. It just wasn't as good and we once again have some wonderful US-grown garlic.
