Hardneck Rocambole garlic cures on fencing stretched across the rafters in the garage at Nicola Smith’s home in Tunbridge, Vt. Smith first got the seed garlic from a farmer friend four years ago and plants 60 to 100 cloves each year. Smith said she uses garlic in about 90 percent of the dishes she cooks. From the book THE JOY OF KEEPING A ROOT CELLAR by Jennifer Megyesi, released in 2010 by Skyhorse Publishing.
