We plant garlic late in the fall season so it doesn't start to grow in the warmer weather then go to sleep for the winter partially grown. Better to plant for winter sleep and let nature do it's thing come spring. Better larger bulbs. It's kinda like tulips and daffodils. Plant in the fall for spring flowers, only garlic is harvested July to August. We do about 200 cloves planted harvest 150 for the house-yes she cooks with a lot of garlic and 50 for replanting next season. Whatever you do don't try to use store bought garlic to plant. They are treated with growth inhibitors and are NOT good for planting.
