Market Farming

[Shawnee Flowerfarmer <farmingflowers AT hotmail.com>]

Garlic is my favorite money making crop....I plant them close together and then thin every other plant as green garlic....bundled 3-6 for 1.50 to 2.00 in Northern illinois.  Next come the scapes...bundled 6-10 for 1.50 to 2.00, then at last, the fat luscious bulbs......recipes included of course.  Three crops from one planting.....
If I had a bounty of green garlic scallions that I couldn't sell fresh, I would chop and dry them (Like big chives) and sell late season as a seasoning.  I wish that I was close to your market; I would buy all your garlic scallions...yummy! particularly after the long winter with old garlic sprouting everywhere.
