Default Garlic bulbs

Good morning,

Apologies in advance, as I know that this question has been posted before by
a few people, including myself! As always I've lost the bookmarks and
Google throws up a baffling amount of links.

My garlic crop was a bit of a disaster this year, so I've decided to stop
using bulbs from the supermarket and buy some 'proper' ones.

I want to plant the bulbs next month and they will be growing in an area
that will be damp / wet over the winter.

Quick questions:

1. The best variety.

2. Recommended seller - preferably one that sells online.

Many thanks in advance.

Cheers,

Andrew


The weather had a lot to do with poor crops, also perhaps as I did last
year, you left them in the ground to long. I've just had mine delivered
from Browns, I always use Isle of Wight.
