Susanville was no show

I thought I had perhaps done something wrong until I saw the other 2 reviews. The Duganski did very well and is tasty. There may have been an issue with the Susanville crop as not one Susanville even tried to grow. The Duaganski I grew was in same bed, same fertilizer, sun, etc...

I have had great success with your garlic in the past, so just think it was a bad year for that particular garlic. I am growing the Italian Mountain Red this year.

garlic combo

I purchased the Duganski/Susanville combo and planted them fall of 2020. The Duganski came up and did fine. The Susanville didn't come up at all, whether in a raised bed or in a half-barrel. My neighbor next door said that Susanville would never do well in Sitka Alaska unless protected from the cold. Territorial should warn customers not to buy this soft neck in Alaska, zone 6, although we did not have a particularly cold winter. It rarely gets below 20 degrees in our winters.

So sorry to hear Susanville didn't do well for you! As always, our products are backed by our full guarantee.

Grew half a crop

I bought this combo the past couple of years and planted in the fall. The Duganski is great, the Susanville did not even come up this year. I dug up the cloves this spring and they look like the day they were planted, all those months ago. No growth at all. Save your money and don't buy Susanville in this combo as you may get burned.

Folklore is rife with tales of garlic's ability to bestow strength and courage, treat a vast array of disease and infections, and to ward off evil. Modern day medicine has shown this remarkable food to be powerfully effective at boosting the immune system, supporting cardiovascular health, and fighting cancer.

Hardneck Garlic: Allium sativum subsp. ophioscorodon Cloves grow in a single circle around a central woody stem. These varieties also produce, or attempt to produce, a flower-like stalk. What makes these garlics stand out is the range and quality of flavors they exhibit. Hardneck garlics typically have a shorter storage life than softnecks.

Softneck Garlic: Allium sativum subsp. sativum These varieties produce cloves in several layers around a soft central stem. Approximate cloves per pound can vary based on seasonal conditions and the variety. These easy-to-grow garlics are excellent in the kitchen and usually have the best storage qualities. Great for braiding.

Elephant Garlic: Allium ampeloprasum Not a true garlic, these enormous bulbs have much milder and sweeter flavor than garlic, as it's related more closely to a leek. Elephant garlic is planted 6-8 inches apart and covered with 4-6 inches of soil.

Culture
• Garlic thrives in rich, well-drained soil with a pH between 6.0-7.0
• Work in 1 inch layer of compost, 1/2 cup of bone meal, 1/2 cup TSC's Complete fertilizer per 5 row feet
• When spring growth begins: water to keep the soil slightly moist and fertilize with Age Old Grow or TSC's Complete fertilizer
• As harvest approaches: water less to avoid molding or staining
• Hardnecks: cut off any flowering stems (scapes) at the top leaf to redirect energy to the bulb; scapes can be used like green onions

Direct Sowing
• In Northern regions, garlic is best planted by the end of October, or 6-8 weeks before the ground freezes
• Southern regions may plant as late as March
• Separate the cloves of garlic just prior to planting, keeping as much skin on as possible
• Plant cloves pointed end up
• Mulch with clean straw or leaves to 4 inches

Pests & Diseases
• Common pests: onion thrips, stem & bulb nematodes
• Pest control: Pyrethrin, 5–7 year crop rotation
• Common diseases: Gray mold/Botrytis, rust
• Disease prevention: 5–7 year crop rotation, avoid soggy soil

Harvest & Storage
• Harvest when the top 4-5 leaves are slightly green and lower leaves are dry
• Begin checking for mature bulbs in late June
• Each green leaf represents one layer of covering over the bulb in the ground
• Tie the plants in small bundles and dry in a cool, shaded, well-ventilated location for about 3-4 weeks
• After curing is done, cut foliage and roots from bulbs and store in mesh bags
• Softnecks: you can keep leaves on and braid the whole plant
