Hi, I live on the Atherton Tablelands and have just successfully grown garlic this year. You need to plant after the worst of the wet (March) and harvest at the start of the next one (Dec) for elephant garlic. Had another variety (unknown) that was ready to harvest in October. I may try the polystyrene trays undercover to avoid too much wet this time.
