I found Gary's garlic on Ebay, I wrote them and asked if I could buy direct from them. I asked for as much German White as they could fit into a flat rate box. They responded with yes they could fill that order. They said they can put 8lbs in to a box, I paid $6.00/lb x 8 = $48.00 plus shipping. This is not a high price to pay for good garlic bulbs but these were no good bulbs. I got what I payed for I guess
I received the box of garlic to find bruised, gouged and old wounds on these bulbs. I took apart a large bulb to find it was rotten and covered in mold inside the clove skin. I ended up tossing 7 whole bulbs due to mold. Another 3 bulbs worth from damage to the cloves themselves. Not all of the bulbs were damaged, I would say 50%
I wrote to them and sent pictures of what I had found, She was amazed that the garlic was in such bad shape and said the box had sat on here desk for a week or so. I wrote to them asking for 2 pound of cloves to make up for the battered and rotten garlic I had received. I have not received a response from them in 2 weeks regarding my request.
DO NOT order garlic from www.garysgarlic.com or Red Maples Farm. They haven't a clue what they're doing or how to handle garlic bulbs
