Garlic:
Flavor of the Ages The famous French chef, X. Marcel Boulestin (1878-1943), is reputed to have said, “It is not really an exaggeration to say that peace and happiness begin, geographically, where garlic is used in cooking.” Garlic has a long and colorful history, with references in the Bible, in ancient Chinese writings, and in literary works by such luminaries as Shakespeare, Dante, and Sir Francis Bacon. Although used primarily today as a food flavoring agent and condiment, garlic has a history as a remedy for a wide variety of conditions and diseases. Agricultural Outlook. |

Wild
Onion and Wild Garlic: Identification
and Control In early fall many gardeners and landscapers begin to notice wild garlic and wild onion emerging in their garden and lawn. Both wild garlic (Allium vineale) and wild onion (Allium canadense) are closely related and difficult to distinguish from one another. Both plants are in the liliaceae plant family and are closely related to ornamentals such as daylilies and Liriope.

For
the Gardener - A Garlic Primer The genus Allium has long been bandied back and forth between nomenclatural families. Although in “The Literature” it is more commonly found in the Amaryllidaceae family, Alliums have most recently been placed in the Liliaceae family. Wherever its nomenclatural hearth and home, there is no doubt that the genus Allium is horticulturally the family’s preeminent grouping. There are approximately 400 species of wild onions and garlic found worldwide. Center for Agroecology & Sustainable Food Systems University of California, Santa Cruz. |

Agricultural
Alternatives - Garlic production Garlic is a crop that is well suited to a small acreage or as part of a larger direct marketing operation looking to diversify its mix of crops. It is well adapted for production in all parts of the United States. Yield and quality will vary with climate, region, altitude, soil and pH, cultural practices, and the variety of garlic. The term “biological elasticity” describes garlic’s ability to acclimate to these factors over time. No one practice is best suited for every situation. You will want to talk with local growers who have experience growing garlic and experiment with different cultural practices and varieties to discover the best combination for your operation. |
