| Does anyone know where Australian grown garlic is available in Perth?
My MIL is a bit upset that all she can find is imported and she was asking me to try growing some - which is great - but a more instant fix would be better!

I can buy it at my local farmer jacks. I will ask them today if they can tell me where they get it from, then you might be able to find other places that stock it.
cheers

| Thankyou Freckle. I've passed that info on. There's a Farmer Jacks near enough for her to make it quite easy. Problem solved! Amanda |

| Not sure where you are in Perth, but I've been buying locally grown garlic from the Swansea Markets in East Vic Park for a while now. They haven't had it in for a couple of weeks lately though, apparently there's a shortage at the moment. |

Hi Amanda
Hope your MIL found her garlic, I asked but the F&V manager wasn't in and the guy who was on didn't know! |

| Hi Amanda I bought a pile of certified organic, locally grown garlic last week at the Freo markets. It wasn't very cheap, but they also had local non organic garlic which was much cheaper. I think most of their stuff is grown in the chittering valley.. Joel |

| I grow my own supply now, but sourced my original garlic from one of the Freo markets organic stalls. I can't remember where they were grown but certainly in WA. They were not cheap. I started with a dozen or so bulbs and for two years I didn't eat any home-grown garlic, but saved it all for replanting. Any bought garlic that happened to sprout also got planted. Not everything survived but the ones that liked the conditions did. Last year's harvest (after taking out enough for planting) lasted about 6 months, but I am expecting my first fully home grown garlic supply from this summer's harvest - about 50 bulbs to plant and about 120 to last the year. |
