I did a few different types of garlic trials in the gardens this past year, to try to find answers to some questions I have had to help grow a better crop. These explorations took up a lot of space, and I am not sure if it was really worth the effort. I did learn some interesting things about garlic, but perhaps this time it was more about what trials are useful in this kind of context.
