By the way, climate is not an issue with garlic, in terms of its ability to
survive winters. Climates further North than yours require planting the fall
crop a little earlier to allow for some root growth, but that's about it.

I have started to use a lot of garlic in my cooking (thanks to Emeril
Live).
How is it grown? Can you start it from a clove you get at the store?
When
is the best time to plant and harvest? I live in North Central Maryland
Zone 6. I also saw on a program that you can harves a little of the green
part and use it also although it is not nearly as strong as the cloves.
