Originating from the south of France, Garlic ‘Carcassonne Wight’ is an exceptional, pink cloved hard neck garlic that is expertly adapted for overwintering in UK conditions. It has good skin cover and great strength of flavour coupled with an excellent bouquet and character.
Best planted in the autumn for overwintering, a ‘Carcassonne Wight’ bulb is frost hardy and can be harvested from as early as late May.
Garlic requires a free-draining, fertile soil in a sunny position. Thoroughly dig over the site to remove any weeds and add a general purpose fertiliser to improve yields.
Break the garlic into cloves and plant individual cloves 3cm/1″ deep and 10cm/4″ apart.
Lift the garlic out of the soil in mid summer as the leaves start to die down. Leave them on the surface to ripen for a few days and then store in a light airy position that is dry and frost-free.
