Introducing Music Garlic from our friends at Growing Farmers! It’s an easy-to-grow farm favorite with deep-rooted history and robust flavor. Brought to North American shores from Italy by Canadian farmer Al Music in the 1980s, this hardneck garlic variety has since harmonized its way into many gardens and kitchens. Celebrated for its cold-hardiness, and reliable yield of large, full-flavored cloves, the Music Garlic exemplifies nature’s best.
Anticipate approximately 6-8 bulbs per pound, translating to 30-40 cloves. This quantity suffices to plant around 15-20 linear feet with a 6” spacing.

Dear Arti:
Question: What can I do to keep worms off my garden greens? – Dan D.
Answer: Hi Dan,
Well, most of the time you won’t see worms on your garden greens. What you’re seeing is most likely larvae of some kind. Without seeing it, it’s hard to guide you what to do. However, the first thing is to identify the species. Once you do that, you can apply specific remedies tailored to reduce infestations.
A few general tips:
1) Manually remove larvae by spraying them off (being careful not to damage the plants).
2) Add beneficial insects for long-term success and to reduce the work you have to do– let nature manage the situation for you!
