ELEPHANT GARLIC
Elephant garlic is more related to the leek than it is to garlic. It has a milder flavour but the growing method is similar. However, because the cloves are that much larger, plant to a depth of 10-15cm (4-6in) and 20-30cm (8-12in) to give them plenty of space to grow.
If you've grown garlic before you'll know that it's one of the easiest of crops to grow: easy to plant, easy to maintain, easy to harvest and easy to store. For many it has become an essential kitchen ingredient, bringing flavour and a pungency to all kinds of dishes. And there are many claims to its health benefits too!
Although you can plant in early spring or winter, autumn planted cloves will bring you a harvest in early
