aussie Garlic season starts again in Aug/Sept. Aussie garlic has small cloves unless you buy the Russian (elephant) garlic (still Aussie) which is related to leeks. Chinese garlic looks better because it has been bleached and sprayed with a sprout deterent (which is why you wont grow cloves from Chinese garlic only green shoots). Aussie garlic is better for you & supports our ecomony (it is expensive because we only grow 10% of the garlic we use , our farmers are not subsidised and can charge for the good quality they produce).
