I don't know what your climate is like, but I grow garlic. Here in
Michigan, I plant the cloves in the fall, and harvest the heads
between late June and mid July. I must've got 50 heads of
garlic this year. I planted extra to give away, but I expect
my garlic will keep at least until Christmas. Last year's
crop endured until February, although it was getting a little
core in the middle by that point. Still better than store-bought
garlic.

Because I'm a little geeky (and I'm doing this to get good
garlic, not to save money), I buy my "seed" garlic at
http://www.thegarlicstore.com

This was my third or fourth harvest of garlic, and I'm getting
pretty good at achieving big heads with large cloves. We
use fresh garlic almost every day.
