If there is anyone in the forum from the northeast USA who buys garlic for planting, do you have a favorite source to share? My experience with garlic from a local (Long Island, NY) garlic festival was very disappointing, Is mail order from someone like Johnny's or Main Potato Lady the way to go? Is anyone familiar with the Hudson Valley Garlic Festival in Saugerties, NY? is it a good source?

I've gotten most of my varieties from the Hudson Valley Festival..... remember that garlic adapts to local conditions, so you want to get it close to home, or grow it out for a few years before writing it off. I usually get just a couple of bulbs of something new, so I don't have a big investment in time/space trying them out. How much do you want to plant?
Hi- I had a bad experience (diseased heads of garlic) at a local (Long Island, NY) garlic festival last year so I was wondering if there are any folks from the northeast USA in the forum who buy garlic to plant, do you have any favorite sources? Is it better to go mail order from someplace like Johnny's or Main Potato Lady? Is anyone familiar with the Hudson Valley Garlic Festival in Saugerties, NY?

Did you see my previous reply? I see you're posting via Google Groups, so possibly not; they're intermittently b0rken.
Anyone who wants good a newsgroup service provider should consider Giganews. They have a monthly plan for $4.99.
Teranews is free after a $3.95 setup fee , and includes access to binaries (though they also have paid access options too). I use it , with an eternal-september account for backup in case tera goes down - which it does from time to time . BTW , e-s is also free , but does not include binary access , which is why it isn't my primary news account .
Much better IMHO is BlockNews.
