Ashok Pink Garlic Pre order
Garlic Pre-orders are open!
Our garlic is currently being sorted and due to numerous requests we are opening up pre-orders. How does it work? You can order your garlic now and we will ship it towards the end of January / beginning of February so you have it ready to start planting middle February. We are well stocked this year but sometimes stock goes quick, so rather secure yours early to avoid disappointment. We will contact each customer individually when shipping time arrives to double check a most convenient shipping date. Anything else you order with the garlic pre-order will be shipped with the garlic.
Ashok Pink garlic is a garlic variety that produce extra large bulbs, In fact of the biggest you can get from a soft neck garlic, they are easy to grow with relative quick maturity.
We received a white and pink garlic variety from our good friend Ashok, and outstanding vegetable farmer. These varieties has been grown for a long time by his family in the KZN province of South Africa. Ashok does not know the actual name so we decided to name the two varieties after him. We suspect that these two varieties originated through trait selection from the popular Egyptian white and Pink garlic strains. They are however not the same, we have been growing these side by side with the Egyptian garlic varieties and they do behave differently.
Plants are robust, with extra long leaves, bulbs are large with medium sized cloves. Soft neck variety.
Approximately 12 cloves
