Default Garlic bulbs

Get mine from the Isle of Wight garlic farm - had some elephant garlic last
year which was fine.
This year visited the Emsworth food festival and the Isle of wight Farm had
a stall so bought some garlic to plant about now.
Look at www.thegarlicfarm.co.uk - or e-mail -
Whilst i agree the elephant garlic is a mix of leek and garlic have gone for
another garlic from there stall this year - unfortunately the name escapes
me - sorry.

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
