Definitely ideal for Hardneck Garlic. There's a type of garlic called Softneck, that grows in warmer climates and it's the most common one, people think of when shopping.
There is a variety of onion that you can pick, to grow in just about each climate and area of earth. You just to have know where you are, and pick the right kind. ... well, except for Antarctica. That one is tough to grow in!!!
Thanks for the tip! =)
