I don't have either to offer you, but I thought I would let you know I've been growing the commercially grown garlic bulbs I buy from the grocery section of Walmart. The ones I have planted grow into something actually a bit better than the storebought ones, consistent flavor, good size, similar to the original but with a better, stronger flavor that I think comes from being grown at home without chemicals. It's worth a shot if you want to try it...at least it's pretty cheap. The stuff grows like crazy here in northwest Arizona (zone 8), we've got about the same temperatures as you except no humidity. I grow it in the winter time and really don't even water it, and it's ready to harvest in spring if I plant in October/November.

thanks I bought some from the store and had a few elephant toenails and a large clove of elephant garlic.

watered it in last night and then today I add beets between them, might have it over crowded, but I get the beets harvested before winter and then the garlic will winter in the tub.

I am growing Pinot Noir Sweet peppers, and I like them.

(Not my photo, but they do look like this.) They taste great, but when you cook, they lose their color and just make it to the table green, instead.

Also want Long Island Cheese Pumpkin seeds

I grew purple jalepenos last year. Man they were way hotter than the regular ones and very pretty and prolific. I got the seeds from Totally Tomatoes they weren't that much.
