Garlic

Garlic and elephant garlic, while both members of the allium family are botanically different. With elephant garlic actually being a leek that produces large cloves and garlic being more of a true bulb. For production purposes though, they are generally considered the same. In Kentucky, garlic is most often grown as a part of a diversified vegetable farm due to its ability to fit well into a crop rotation schedule and the fact that its production window varies greatly from many other annual vegetable crops. Hardneck garlic is preferred for KY plantings over softneck varieties. There is only one cultivar of elephant garlic despite often being listed under different names.
