PRE ORDER ONLY - PLEASE SEE NOTE BELOW
Allium Sativum (Softneck) – Mersley Wight ® originates from the Auvergne in Central France across to the volcanic Drome in northern Provence. Its mountain provenance means it is best planted in early spring in the UK, from late November in the south through to as late as the end of March. The optimum time to plant is mid February.
It is a classic “silverskin” type, best late winter and spring planted, and with the best keeping quality of any garlic we know – Up till June of the year following harvest. That is 10 months.
Mersley Farm is the home of Isle of Wight garlic and we have decided that this garlic, an outstanding garlic for the UK gardener, should carry its name. Selected from stock that includes the original Solent Wight, think Solent Wight but bigger with increased vigour.
