| I don't have a lot of experience with it. I've heard that it is better after it is cured at least a few weeks. My interest in growing it is to see if the green plants are a good leek substitute (botanically it is a leek, not a garlic). I grew perlzwiebel last year which is also a perennial leek. The green leeks were good, but very small, while the bulbs were bitter and mealy. |
