Garlic heads (ail rose de Lautrec)

I got these 3 garlic heads from my Mum yesterday...all the way from France! This is locally known as 'ail rose de Lautrec' or pink garlic from Lautrec. My favourite of course! It's a fairly big crop where I'm from in South-West France (Albi in the Tarn departement). I even spent a week harvesting 2 summers in a row when I was 16 & 17. We all reeked of garlic by the end of the week as you can imagine! Not that it put me off, au contraire, it made the bond stronger! I even eat garlic raw.... new season garlic (not quite dry yet) has a sweet edge and is as crunchy as a good apple, try it! Of course, have some fresh parsely ready to freshen up your breath :))

Oh, these 2 shots are my very first postings with the new camera...
