I strung it up and it's curing in my basement. It is very strong at the moment. I wasn't expecting it to be so..aromatic! Lol. I believe it'll be very good.

I was curious about it's name, turns out it's named after the guy who cultivated it, "Al Music" was his name. He created this variety in the 1980s

Music was only invented in the 80s?

Probably closer to the 40s or 50s. Music garlic was invented in the 80s.

Music garlic? First time hear this. Does it play a piano?

[–] TheTurner@lemmy.zip 6 points 1 week ago

Yes! It was playing Concerto No. 5 earlier today.

The name rings a bell.

Best variety, make sure to save your largest cloves for planting in the fall!

Make sure it cures for at least 3-4 weeks in a dry, well-ventilated spot before trimming the roots and stems - helps it last wayyy longer in storage.

Yes! I am definitely doing this! Thank you.
