Posted - Oct 15 2020 : 1:20:19 PM I have been trying to locate some Music cloves for planting for the Spring. MaryJane is sold out and so is every other place I have tried.
Any leads? I really wanted to plant garlic this fall, maybe I am out of luck. Hope not!
Thanks! |

Posted - Oct 18 2020 : 5:02:18 PM Actually seed garlic is a correct term! I just meant I don’t think you need to have garlic cloves that are labeled specifically seed garlic. As long as cloves are natural (not treated with pesticides or chemicals) I think you can plant them. |

I don't think you necessarily have to use SEED GARLIC. The lady I bought my cloves from says she just saves a few of her bulbs each year to plant for the next season's harvest. Hope you can find some . . .
Thanks all! I guess seed garlic is the wrong term, I assume you would say cloves for growing instead. :) |

I ended up buying the garlic from Etsy. It was on the $ side but I really wanted that variety.
Here's the link in case anyone is interested:

Posted - Oct 15 2020 : 1:32:25 PM Karen Maria, I also wanted seed garlic from MJF and when they weren't selling their garlic this year, but planting all for next year's crop, I bought garlic from Aldi and put 100 cloves in my raised beds. I hope you find what you are looking for, but if not try a few from the grocery store and see how you like it. Let us know what you end up doing.
