Elmat showed up: garlic, cross and wood dagger.

I brought rubber boots to wear here in the BBR.

Grow your own and you get the scapes in springtime, chop to half-inch length, sauté very lightly [or even better, braise very lightly in toaster oven, as in slip them in, count to twenty, pull them out], lay on top of mashed Yukon Gold spuds with bits of bacon, makes it all worth while right there ... but let some scapes run, then you get the bulbils for planting, takes two years for them to full bulb stage, but little work to it and they don't take up much space the first year, inch and a half spacing both ways ... one thing i'm going to try next spring, is thin out this fall's bulbil planting and do them like cebollitas de cambray, basically steamed a little first and then braised in toaster oven as above, serve with spuds and salmon

You should be able to get seaweed around there, makes a great flavour enhancer as well as soil amendment, has all the micro stuff ... i'm curious as to how to improve selenium content in non-salt fashion, some say that's an important part of how garlic works, wouldn't want to overdo it though, need some sort of ground high-selenium rock for slow release

Yeah elmat, hmm ... odd case eh, most long-time SIers have years ago given up attempting to offend each other, too much effort for too little reward ... more likely to be a blood-garlic deficiency at the root of it, than one of alcohol, apparently -g-
