This fall we purchased and distributed 10
cultivars of garlic for the 11
grower participants. We collected data (bulb weight, number
of cloves, clove size, bulb circumference) for each of the
10 cultivars. We freeze dried garlic samples for each cultivar
and we've recently completed some preliminary antioxidant
assays. There were differences in antioxidant levels among
the varieties. It will be particularly interesting to see
if these differences will be apparent in next years' harvests.
Most of the soil tests have been completed.
We're looking forward to seeing the harvests next summer!
