Russian Garlic


Elephant Garlic also known as Russian Garlic.
The cloves are HUGE.
Mum gave us some cloves from her garden a couple of years ago.
Mum said once you plant it it's there forever and she's right so far. It came up by itself this year.
It's classed as an environmental weed in WA
I dug up the remainder of our Garlic crop this afternoon.
Washed, dried and sliced it

and put it in the food dehydrator.
The house now is aromatic. (stinks of garlic).
This years crop should last us until next years.
We have a crop of chillies and Lemongrass I want to dry next.

Now that's a good idea. I've got heaps of chillies I could do.
