And less tasty. One of my in-laws started an organic garden solely to supply a local hotel down the country and she gave us a big box of vegetables when we were leaving after a visit.
It was very revealing. Everything she gave us had distinct and powerful tastes that were blatantly lacking from their supermarket equivalents (including the ones that say Organic on the label). The garlic blew my mind: I used the usual number of cloves in a recipe and ... well ... we were reeking.
- hinkley 5y agoLots of foods selected for shelf life. Used to be mostly winter crops that needed that proviso. To wit: one of the two garlics I grow has a 4 month longer shelf life than the other. The one has to be planted in the fall or you risk losing most of your seed cloves by late spring. The other, I just planted a second crop, from garlic harvested last fall. They were not in awesome shape, but about 80% went in the ground.
