thank you for getting back!

i would agree with you about the mountain scenario, as that would seem the most likely possibility of the garlic being vernalised, so as to grow. i am not interested in the conventional soft- neck purple or white garlic with lots of cloves. the variety spoken of in this article is a porcelain hard neck which produces a scape, and has 4-9 larger cloves. North and mountains make sense - Chaing Mai? indeed it could be purple - not red or blue. Soil chemistry has so much to do with the shade of colour as well as everyone's own specific perception. again if it were north and mountainous it would probably need to be planted before december. we finish planting here in september oct. and i am interested in red shallot onions as well thank you again - your comments and help are very much appreciated!!
