Because of its coarse, thick skins, its shelf life is much longer than that of hardneck garlic: it can be as much as six months old before it hits the stores.<\/p><p class=\"justifi\">It&#8217;s cheaper to buy because it&#8217;s less work to grow on a massive scale: it produces no scapes to be plucked, and can be mechanically planted. Varieties are chosen for these features over flavour. <\/p><p class=\"justifi\">BUT!\u00a0 Fresh, home-grown softneck garlic tastes great. We chose our varieties for their flavour. And, eating them fresh \u2014 closer to their August harvest date \u2014 will give you that juicy, garlic taste.<\/p><p class=\"justifi\">These guys really are great keepers. We&#8217;ve eaten bulbs from storage in March and April, and they still tasted a lot better than the imported stuff.<\/p><p class=\"justifi\">Usually, they have more cloves than hardnecks, sometimes as many as 20, ranging from very large to very small.<\/p><p class=\"justifi\">They don&#8217;t waste their time with scapes; instead, they produce a pliable neck and leaves that are easily braided. Softnecks are the best varieties for braiding.<\/p><p style=\"text-align: center\">We grow 1 variety of softneck:\u00a0\u00a0<\/p><p style=\"text-align: center\"><a class=\"linkStyle\" title=\"Artichoke Garlic\" href=\"https:\/\/pumpkinjunction.ca\/?page_id=3256\">Artichoke<\/a>.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-21a099d elementor-widget__width-initial elementor-widget elementor-widget-gallery\" data-id=\"21a099d\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-settings=\"{&quot;gallery_layout&quot;:&quot;justified&quot;,&quot;gap&quot;:{&quot;unit&quot;:&quot;px&quot;,&quot;size&quot;:32,&quot;sizes&quot;:[]},&quot;overlay_title&quot;:&quot;title&quot;,&quot;lazyload&quot;:&quot;yes&quot;,&quot;ideal_row_height&quot;:{&quot;unit&quot;:&quot;px&quot;,&quot;size&quot;:200,&quot;sizes&quot;:[]},&quot;ideal_row_height_tablet&quot;:{&quot;unit&quot;:&quot;px&quot;,&quot;size&quot;:150,&quot;sizes&quot;:[]},&quot;ideal_row_height_mobile&quot;:{&quot;unit&quot;:&quot;px&quot;,&quot;size&quot;:150,&quot;sizes&quot;:[]},&quot;gap_tablet&quot;:{&quot;unit&quot;:&quot;px&quot;,&quot;size&quot;:10,&quot;sizes&quot;:[]},&quot;gap_mobile&quot;:{&quot;unit&quot;:&quot;px&quot;,&quot;size&quot;:10,&quot;sizes&quot;:[]},&quot;link_to&quot;:&quot;file&quot;,&quot;overlay_background&quot;:&quot;yes&quot;,&quot;content_hover_animation&quot;:&quot;fade-in&quot;}\" data-widget_type=\"gallery.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-gallery__container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<a class=\"e-gallery-item elementor-gallery-item elementor-animated-content\" href=\"https:\/\/pumpkinjunction.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/imageSoon.jpg\" data-elementor-open-lightbox=\"yes\" data-elementor-lightbox-slideshow=\"21a099d\" data-elementor-lightbox-title=\"imageSoon\" data-e-action-hash=\"#elementor-action%3Aaction%3Dlightbox%26settings%3DeyJpZCI6NzY3LCJ1cmwiOiJodHRwczpcL1wvcHVtcGtpbmp1bmN0aW9uLmNhXC93cC1jb250ZW50XC91cGxvYWRzXC8yMDIxXC8wM1wvaW1hZ2VTb29uLmpwZyIsInNsaWRlc2hvdyI6IjIxYTA5OWQifQ%3D%3D\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"e-gallery-image elementor-gallery-item__image\" data-thumbnail=\"https:\/\/pumpkinjunction.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/imageSoon.jpg\" data-width=\"300\" data-height=\"300\" aria-label=\"Image coming soon.\" role=\"img\" ><\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-gallery-item__overlay\"><\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-gallery-item__content\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-gallery-item__title\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\timageSoon\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/a>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<a class=\"e-gallery-item elementor-gallery-item elementor-animated-content\" href=\"https:\/\/pumpkinjunction.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/incheliumRed262.jpg\" data-elementor-open-lightbox=\"yes\" data-elementor-lightbox-slideshow=\"21a099d\" data-elementor-lightbox-title=\"Inchelium Red\" data-e-action-hash=\"#elementor-action%3Aaction%3Dlightbox%26settings%3DeyJpZCI6MjI0LCJ1cmwiOiJodHRwczpcL1wvcHVtcGtpbmp1bmN0aW9uLmNhXC93cC1jb250ZW50XC91cGxvYWRzXC8yMDIxXC8wM1wvaW5jaGVsaXVtUmVkMjYyLmpwZyIsInNsaWRlc2hvdyI6IjIxYTA5OWQifQ%3D%3D\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"e-gallery-image elementor-gallery-item__image\" data-thumbnail=\"https:\/\/pumpkinjunction.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/incheliumRed262.jpg\" data-width=\"262\" data-height=\"274\" aria-label=\"Two bulbs of Inchelium Red garlic.\" role=\"img\" ><\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-gallery-item__overlay\"><\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-gallery-item__content\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-gallery-item__title\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tInchelium Red\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/a>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Softneck Garlic Generally, the grocery stores sell softneck garlic that has been imported from California or China.
