True seed only refers to the black seeds formed from the flowers of the plant. If you sow true seed, the plant that grows would be called true seed progeny. I planted some bulbs of true seed progeny.

Garlicana farm in Oregon is currently selling true seed progeny that you can plant as bulbs! You have to physically mail them payment, though, no credit card or Venmo or bitcoin yet

You can also get your garlic where I did, from Gateway Garlic Farms, and pay with Venmo, but his inventory of TGS-related garlic is much lower. His website is not accurate and you can only reach him through Facebook and Facebook Messenger.

These are the two TGS sources I know of in North America, but I’m sure there are more; check out forums like Permies!

You can grow clones of true seed progeny by planting their bulbs for years and years if you wish! But ultimately my goal is to assist in the effort of increasing genetic diversity in the garlic crop by breeding TGS-producing garlic varieties and planting their seeds, hopefully producing varieties that easily set much seed, and also have delicious bulbs.

I have mentioned to him he should come to Nostr. He belongs here

Maybe much more due to culture than biology than people think

The best way to do it is find someone who is growing TGS. there’s a behind-the-scenes movement for this that seems to be slowly growing.

You live in India, right? If so I don’t think any of the sources I know of will be helpful at all. You’ll have to find local people who are doing this.

Probably a locally based permaculture forum would be your best bet.

You’re looking for garlic which was grown from the seeds produced by the actual flowers of the plant, not the bulbs (growing in the dirt) or the bulbils (which come out at the top of the plant where you’d expect to find a flower, and which often crowd out flowers and prevent true seeds from forming).

True garlic seed looks like onion seed, small and black, not a white or purple clove of garlic. It needs special treatment in order to harvest and germinate.

What I planted are bulbs (what people normally plant when they plant garlic) which have either produced true seed, were grown from true seed, or which are from a variety known to produce true seed.

Based is a term people use to mean that someone is saying stuff they agree with, that reflects their worldview and ideology.

In this case, my pastor was preaching about how wielding power over others is not what Christians are called to, and that empire will crumble but God’s Kingdom is eternal.

Excited to finally begin my True Garlic Seed journey!

If you’ve talked with me much about gardening, my obsession with TGS has probably come up. I decided I couldn’t wait any longer to have land. It is time to start now.

Last night, I planted garlic from Gateway Garlic Farms in containers:

Most prized: two heads of garlic the farmer saw actually producing seed and included as a freebie!

Next most prized: Jessie’s Girl “River garlic,” a seed-grown garlic that tolerates wet soil.

Also growing: Metechi and Chesnok Red which have been starting places for TGS breeders.

Someday I want to also order TGS offspring from Garlicana, but it is a pain to have to literally snail-mail payment to them. Maybe someday they will accept Bitcoin… a girl can dream.

Even getting a very small amount of each variety, it’s more than I can grow on my balcony. Hoping the rest can find homes in the gardens of family and friends.

Still in the same time stream as everyone else 😁 still more of a loud Christian than a quiet one, just mostly off Nostr / lurking for a while

I have a new pottery-only npub now btw: @npub1wrenv...
