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.
Sicilian Gold - A popular Italian softneck garlic that has nice white skin producing creamy white cloves in purple wrappers. It delivers a mild to moderate flavor and is a great variety for braiding. In very cold climates, some plants may bolt or form scapes in the stem. However, these generally do not need to be removed for good bulb size. Bulbs have a good consistent size and have 10 to 14 cloves. Requires good fertility (particularly high Nitrogen) to size up properly. Should be harvested early once the first leaf or two have started to brown. Stores for up to a year.
