    I love my garlic and onions. Can you imagine not cooking without these ingredients? Also - we much always support research that will benefit the daily lives of farmers!

    As a small time Vermont garlic grower I am happy for more info and help. My patch of 2,200 or so plants were hit to about 10% last year. I'd volunteer my organic site for moth counts if needed. Williston is not too far from UVM.
