Prim is a softneck garlic variety and modest in size, at least from my growing this season, disappointing really and fiddly to use. Under the white wrapper are pinkish cloves. It promises to be a long keeper. I'm finding as I work through the varieties that clove size and keeping qualities will probably decide what I grow on next year. Though by November when I start to plant again the true picture on storage will not be fully known. Plenty of punch (all garlic will have this!) with a parsley and garlic pesto to go with squid and pasta.

I'm really enjoying your garlic reviews. We planted 5 different varieties this year with varying success. Rather stupidly all the labels have got mixed up in the greenhouse though so now I haven't got a clue what is what! Apart from the whopping elephant garlic of course!
