Garlic goes dormant in late summer; that's when you generally
harvest it. Whilst in some fairly mild climates, I've had
success with planting in late winter and harvesting the same
year, generally garlic does better if you plant it in the fall
and harvest the following summer. I suspect that if you check
where your garlic was growing, you'll find numerous bulbs in the
soil.

I planted about 40 cloves of garlic in early spring into my garden but when
they didn't look too healthy, i replaced them with plants (grown in the
greenhouse). These looked great for a few weeks and were as tall as my onion
plants (on same patch) but after some "heavy" Isle Of Wight winds the garlic
were flat on the ground and soon died. weirdly the onions were fine and have
gone on to produce a bumper crop. Anyone know why my garlic didnt survive if
the onions did? What should i do to prevent this next yr??
