Someone recently here asked what was the best garlic to grow. I think
the concensus was 'whatever you can get your hands on'.
On a radio gardening program it was said that the garlic best suited to
Australian conditions is the one with the purple blush on the corm. This
seemed to be painting with a pretty broad brush to me, with Australia
having such a range of conditions between the extremes.
