The link is a UK site I picked at random to show what I mean never used them. Hi Pngwin21, I too have been looking for on line veg, for the same reasons as you, in the UK we can buy things called plug plants, which are delivered to your home in a sort of gel stuff, I concluded that the reason for the lack of these companies is that a) no market (although thats two of us know so maybe we should start a business! haha) or b) the huge delivery area of the US and this can impact in a couple of ways, one the plugs would take so much time to arrive they are ruined (cannot tell you how long it took me to understand the lack of delivery in 48hr here)and the increased weight would of course mean extra postal charges. c)in the uk you order by November I think it was, so they know the demand and can plant accordingly for the same date troughout the UK thus cutting cost, the US has so many zones this maybe a logistical nightmare, although computers could solve this! or D)they just haven't thought up the idea yet! although I find that unlikely! that said, no t bar on a shovel! and runner beans as a flower! anything is possible! I would as now is the right time, cos I am about to start posting my spare seedling, try Craigs list and join freecycle, you are supposed to collect but if someone explained that they couldn't drive I would make my husband take it round, if at a reasonable distance from our home, offer to pay for gas, also do churches, scout groups that type of thing do plant sales?, look out for them and in the UK I also used to pick up loads of free seedlings at the end of peoples driveways, which they had left out as FREE, people may do that here? I intend to as well as craigs and freecycle. last sugestion, walk the neigbourhood pinpoint who has a garden, introduce yourself and ask about the local conditions, pest ect and then tell them you problem, gardeners seem a pretty generous bunch on the whole and I bet you get a bucket of plants and good advice, I got another Veg patch from a neighbour this way, she can't tend it this year and I just give her a share, fantastic! hope I manage to grow something!

This time last year I discovered this forum, took the advice of some of the people here, and ordered from Gourmet Garlic Gardens. I ordered only one variety, Music, and had 100% germination from beautiful big cloves. So far the few that I've harvested have been small, but I'm hopeful that once they become acclimated, I'll have larger bulbs over the next couple of years. Just today, I ordered a mixture of bulbs from the same company. They are a little pricey, but the return that you get over time is so worth it. Good luck, everyone.

Any tips for buying tree seeds online?

That seeds come from China isn't necessarily a bad thing unless you are worried about American customs. A lot of seeds that are sold by American professional companies are harvested in China and shipped to the USA. One problem related to buying seeds from China is getting the correct seeds. You have to be alert when buying seeds on Ebay et. al. If you buy for instance Magnolia seeds that are not properly stored (cold and moist) or are old the chances of getting decent germination are greatly reduced. Some species must be sown fresh so only buy them 'in season' (usually late autumn/early winter). Empress tree seeds are not hard to find (look at Ebay and you find lots of sellers). I believe Empress tree seeds should be surface sown because they need light to germinate. Don't know if it is sufficiently hardy where you live. Here in the Netherlands (solid zone 7) it suffers from dieback in winter but maybe that's because the wood doesn't ripen very well in our climate.

Where do you buy your garlic for planting?

Since garlic doesn't take up much room, I stick leftover cloves everywhere throughout the year. Sometimes I find the cloves still unsprouted weeks later when I dig a hole in the same spot for some other reason. I just poke them in somewhere else, knowing they'll start pumping out lush green shoots in their own sweet time. I do the random stick-it with all sorts of things besides garlic and more often than not, get great results. My best container right now holds an eggplant, a pepper, garlic, and some blue-flowering vine that broke off another plant. This started out as a pot of calendula, but it was too beastly hot to plant the pepper and eggplant on the day the seeds arrived,so I stuck one of each in the pot and forgot all about them. I think I added the garlic on the day I transplanted the calendula to a permanent bed. The vine is a johnny-come-lately, but they all seem to be very happy together. Of course, I sometimes end up with something like puce and orange flowers in in the same pot, but it's never anything that a quick transplant job can't fix. Anyway, sorry for the thread drift. Yes, I use grocery store garlic, and don't do anything special other than try to remember to set the cloves pointy side up. J.

If you are a newbi to garlic growing, you can just buy them from a whole food(organic) store and plant them then. Unless you are looking for specific varieties. This is my third year, and have planted store bought, then my own.
The source has been grocery store.

I got another idea. If there is a local Farmers Market near you, you might want to go there around garlic harvest time and see if anybody has garlics for sale. This way you can be sure that you are getting something that is grown locally and it is not treated. I am going to do the same, to look for new and better varieties grown locally.

Its often good to buy from somewhere with a similar climate if possible that way the garlic is already acclimatized to your area. There is a good place online www.greyduckgarlic.com who are in Washington.I'm not sure where you are located.

The first answer to the OPs question was a suggestion for a business in Tx. Their site has plenty of info and carefully takes you through which kinds of garlics do well in different climates. The listed suppliers have various garlics and you can find the kind that will do best for you.
I had previously bookmarked the gourmetgarlic site because they are low key, they are not pushing you to buy, buy, buy in every sentence, rather they present good info and if you wish you can then look into their suppliers.

If you type in garlic bulbils in eBay, you should see a few kinds if you intend to grow from seed.

I grow them from seed too when I want to add a new species just because it is cheaper, and the following year, they still get pretty big.

Bulbils are a really slow way to get usable garlic.

I would also recomend that you buy some named varieties from a known/trusted source. As you may or may not know their are many different types of garlic and they don't all do well everywhere. So make sure you know what you are buying or you are wasting a lot of garden space.

I have used Territorial Seeds in the past with garlic and had good results. (http://www.territorialseed.com/category/galic_potatoes) yes the misspelling is correct.

This year I am getting "seed" garlic from a local source at our cities farmers market. As well as from a couple online sources. My first food garden in about 10 years.
