Better yet, go to a local garlic festival (there are lots of them these
days), talk to the growers and buy just a bulb or two of varieties known to
do well in your area. That way, you'll get several seasons of
trial/adaptation and have plenty of seed stock. Or, little space wasted if
that variety doesn't like you.

Sorry, never heard of a garlic festival in the UK. I don't think it is that popular to tell the truth. I love it and use it all the time in cooking.

Will check out Ebay though.

Thank you for your input. Much appreciated
