Well I've had marginal luck with garlic. The first year I got several nice heads almost two inches across. The drought last year killed us. This year they've been coming up small again but half my harvest is still in the ground. While the yield has been low the flavor is great.
I am growing hard neck garlic and rotating it around. I bought my seed stock from a nearly local farmer (45ish miles away) three or four years ago. I have or had a mix of music, brown tempest, spanish roja, and siberian and maybe one other but have since mixed them up and don't have a clue what is what.
Up here in the almost upper midwest I get mine in the ground about the first hard frost - mid October - and over winter it. Then about the time the ground has started to freeze I mulch heavily with shredded leafs.
Any pointers or experience and tips would be appreciated.
