Garlic - home grown
I planted some garlic several months ago and have just lifted a bulb from our mixed veg area. It is quite small - that’s ok, but what surprised me is it’s a deep pinky red colour. Is that normal does anyone know? It tastes quite strong which is good!

Re: Garlic - home grown
In my experience, garlic comes in all shades from white, often with a slight blush when fresh to almost rose pink or quite purple,
Re: Garlic - home grown
the colour depends on the variety, usually. were the cloves that you planted pink/ pink skinned?

No just normal white ones, hence the surprise.
