I 've planted garlic in zone 9a several years & they do great. Softneck & some hard necks are fine to plant in fall for Spring harvest. I recently used Keen organics to buy garlic to plant. There are several good distributors on the net. Keen has great advice. Read it. You can grow garlic successfully.

I’m in 9b, central California and I have grown garlic for a few years. I “plant on the shortest day of the year, harvest on the longest day.” It has worked. Originally I just started with some organic grocery store garlic clusters, but now I save them from one year for the next.

I would like to choose 2 types of softneck garlic. Any suggestions on which two to choose? I also heard about elephant garlic. If it will grow in 5B... I may just grow that type. ?????? Undecided!

Sonya, unfortunately soft neck garlic will not survive the winter in our hardiness zone. That means we get to grow hard neck garlic such as purple garlic or porcelain (music) garlic bulbs. Fortunately we still have time if we hurry.

I live in 10b, I've heard Inchelium Red might grow in my area. I'm trying it for the first time this year - don't have any hopes but you'll never know until you try

My March/April garlic completely failed. Can I plant some more now (September).

I'm in zone 7b/8a. When should I plant garlic and what are the best types to plant in my zone?
