[Tripp Tibbetts <slowfoodguy@yahoo.com>]

I concur with the Wodraskas about the color.  Some of them are quite 
beautiful, like the Ellensburg Blue I grew last year.  Should we be selecting 
for colorful garlics, mineral-wise, I wonder?
 
About your second question, the bulbets, bulblets, bulbils, whatever you want 
to call them are the way elephant garlic (which is really a leek) propogates 
itself.  You can naturalize them in your garden by leaving those in the soil. 
 My folks have had a patch of elephant garlic/leeks in their garden for 
several years now without having to replant them.
 
On the living roof question, I'll defer to someone with more expertise than I 
have on that one, although I am definitely interested in the answer.
 
Hope that helps some,
Tripp

Hi Amy,
that blue on the garlic will do you no harm at all and like the purple that 
naturally occurs in garlic bulbs it is simply another mineral in the soil 
making the colour change or bacteria in the soil.
Kind of a beautiful blue if it is the same as the garlic that we grew in the 
Wood River Valley in Idaho. Not sure about your other questions except you 
probably want something waterproof on the roof.
Blessings,
Barbara
