Isn't there a town out in CA someplace that bills itself as the "Garlic Capital of the World"? Seems like I saw something on tv once about an annual festival for it.

I want to plant some cover crops in some of our areas with bare dirt. Just need more energy.

My garden will be the garlic capital of my "farm" assuming they grow. Never tried before but planted some in October.

Castroville, CA is the artichoke capital! My garden will be that capital here as well this year. Bought 2 plants 2 years ago and they did OK so I bought 6 last year. They are annuals here, my aunt had a couple of HUGE plants in Mill Valley, CA (just north of S.F.).
