Healthy soil and sustainable growing

["Tradingpost" <tradingpost@lobo.net>]

No kidding? That site Carrie posted there could be very interesting. It's a
mail order retail outlet to buy wholesale from garlic growers who don't
have enough local demand. 

We picked up a lot of Colossal Garlic for fall planting. Anyone have
experience with this one? It's a true garlic, not Elephant Garlic so
called, and it's a hardneck. Barb says it's very good flavor.
