Artichokes
Artichoke cultivars are among the most productive and least problematic. They are early maturing, readily develop very large bulbs, and adapt to a wide range of growing conditions and soils. They rarely produce scapes which results in the plant directing most of its energies to bulb development rather than to reproduction – scapes. Bolting cultivars often require removal of the flower stalk to achieve the largest bulbs and greatest productivity. From the standpoint of a large-scale commercial grower, Artichokes are an easily grown, heavy producing garlic that does not need the additional labor-intensive step of scape removal. This favors Artichoke garlic at the expense of all bolting hardneck garlic. Artichoke cultivars are by far the most commonly grown commercial garlic. Most of the garlic in the supermarket is from the Artichoke group. The flavors are familiar, but have a bit of a vegetative element rather than the richer deeper characters of some of the other horticultural groups.
Kettle River Giant - Kettle River Giant is a highly productive cultivar. As the name suggests, it can produce very big bulbs, with similarly large cloves. In some cases, the bulbs can exceed 4 inches in diameter! It originates in the Kettle River area in NE Washington, near the Canadian border. This is one of the more flavorful varieties of softneck garlic and it stores very well, 8+ months. It has a rich full taste and is usually ready to harvest early to mid-season along with other Artichoke varieties. Can grow in warmer climates.
