Bulbs we keep for the next planting
After six weeks of curing under cover, we clean and sort the garlic. Rather than sending the largest, finest bulbs to the kitchen, we keep them for planting. This is how we select the seed garlic from the same harvest grown in our field in Gaberje. The price is €22 per kilogram.
The seed garlic has not been treated with sprout inhibitors, an essential characteristic of garlic intended for planting. We do not claim a specific variety name: it is hardneck autumn garlic adapted to the Pannonian climate, which we plant on our farm in late October.
- The largest bulbs selected from the harvest
- Hardneck autumn garlic
- No treatment to prevent sprouting
How much bed you can plan for with one kilogram
One kilogram of seed garlic gives around 60 plants. At the recommended spacing of 12–15 cm, this is enough for approximately 8–10 linear metres of bed. Use these figures to plan your order before separating the individual bulbs into cloves.
Each clove is one planting unit and should be planted separately. Place it in the bed with the pointed end up, around 5 cm deep. Because clove sizes vary, around 60 plants is a useful estimate rather than an exact number of pieces in every kilogram.
- Around 60 plants from 1 kg
- Approximately 8–10 linear metres of bed
- Space cloves 12–15 cm apart
Planting time, reservations and pickup
Plant autumn garlic from mid-October to mid-November, around three to four weeks before the first frost. In our field, we plant it by hand in late October. Position each clove with the pointed end up, around 5 cm deep and 12–15 cm from the next clove.
We dispatch seed garlic in late September, just before the planting season, and you can reserve it earlier. International home delivery is available, with the shipping price confirmed before dispatch. You can also pick up your order free of charge at Gaberje, Kratka 4, Lendava. After ordering, we confirm availability and your chosen pickup or delivery arrangement.
