I'm a little bit later than usual in planting out garlic. This should be okay as I have a soft-necked variety this year, Ashmoor White. Unlike the hardier hard-necked varieties, which benefit from a period of cold and so are ideal for planting in November to over-winter, soft-necked varieties of garlic prefer a milder climates. They also keep longer.
I bought three bulbs of Ashmoor White which, when split into individual cloves, was more than enough for a twenty foot row.
We regularly use garlic in our cooking all year round so for us it is more or less a staple.
