Love the sight of freshly grown garlic, hanging in purple threads at your farmers market? With Penny Woodward's new guide on hand you can go organic and harvest your very own little flavour bombs to dish up in the kitchen!
You could win one of three copies of Garlic: an organic guide to knowing, growing and using garlic, from Australian Whites and Tasmanian Purples to Korean Reds and Shandongs.
It's the plant that can be hot, spicy and pungent or sweet and nutty. It has grown to be such an intrinsic ingredient in our daily lives but garlic isn't just garlic – it's Marbled Purple, Turban, Silverskin, Porcelain and more. In fact there are hundreds of cultivars around the world mostly falling into eleven distinct groups, each with their own particular characteristics and growing conditions.
The popularity and use of garlic has grown substantially, especially over the last three decades and many of us now grow our own, often with varying results! And it's no wonder when even the same cultivars can develop quite differently under varying soil and care conditions.
With the documented treatment of imported garlic, there's even more motivation to grow and store our own and this is where Penny Woodward's wealth of experience and knowledge comes in. She has a BSc in Botany and Zoology and works as freelance writer including contributing to the ABC's Organic Gardener Magazine as well as writing for her own website,
www.pennynwoodward.com.auShe is also on the board of the Australian Garlic Industry Association and is a member of Horticultural Media Association and the Australian Society of Author.
In the latest of Penny Woodward's seven best-selling gardening books you'll find:
Guidelines for growing organic garlic around the country.
A selected list with descriptions of more than 50 Australian cultivars.
Conversations with some of Australia’s growers - find out how and where they grow garlic.
Recipes for cooking, preserving and smoking … and making your own black garlic.
Medicinal uses.
