I also have ---FOR SALE--- Garlic bulbils and bulbs. 

These are the "topsets" of stiff neck garlic that can be planted this fall or in the spring and will grow into "rounds" by next fall. These "rounds" can then be dug up and replanted then and will grow into heads of garlic for harvest the following fall.
The varieties of garlic I have to offer are:

I have a very few garlic bulbils left this season, as well as some garlic bulbs,they are:

 They are hardneck  varieties. This method of growing your own garlic takes an extra season but the cost is much less than buying bulbs.



Just as a test I planted 15 bulbils in a half gallon milk container to see how many sprouted. This was done at the end of February and was set under a flourescent shop light in my basement where the temperature averages 55F to 60F.

The picture (not a great one but still a picture) was taken at the beginning of April and shows that all 15 bulbils sprouted and their average height is between 4 and 5 inches.

You can e-mail me at SAW610@aol.com and include GARLIC in the e-mail title with questions or for payment instructions.
