You won't have any gophers around. Send garlic my way, love it. I worked in No. Calif. for several years in the town next to Gilroy, CA which is the Garlic Capital. They have a fair once a year and you can buy garlic in everything imaginable, wine, ice cream, etc. At certain times of the year when you come into town the smell is overwhelming. Too much can be a bad thing. There are a lot of processing plants in the area as well. I love roasted garlic done with the big elephant garlic.
