Karen Maria, I also wanted seed garlic from MJF and when they weren't selling their garlic this year, but planting all for next year's crop, I bought garlic from Aldi and put 100 cloves in my raised beds. I hope you find what you are looking for, but if not try a few from the grocery store and see how you like it. Let us know what you end up doing.

I just bough 9 hard neck bulbs from the Amish farm. It is grown there and not treated. NOt sure what variety, but it is a long keeper as I have had it n the past. Most places are sold out Welcome Karen Maria!
Do you have a Farmers Market close to you? I simply bought some bulbs for cooking use & then some extras for planting. The farm uses no pesticides-organic though not necessarily CERTIFIED as such due to the expense. Hopefully next year I will not have to buy much at all! I don't think you necessarily have to use SEED GARLIC. The lady I bought my cloves from says she just saves a few of her bulbs each year to plant for the next season's harvest. Hope you can find some . . .

Thanks all! I guess seed garlic is the wrong term, I assume you would say cloves for growing instead. :)
Actually seed garlic is a correct term! I just meant I don’t think you need to have garlic cloves that are labeled specifically seed garlic. As long as cloves are natural (not treated with pesticides or chemicals) I think you can plant them.
