I'm in zone 6b.

Decided to try hardneck garlic this year for the first time.

Traditionally, planting is Columbus day, but I was a little late in
getting my bulbs, and the weather (seemed to rain buckets every
weekend) and other distractions didn't leave me enough time to get it
planted.

So, I'm wondering if it's possible to store the bulbs until next fall,
or should i just eat them as an expensive reminder to plan a little
better next year?

thanks,
tom
