months is all i can do without it drying out.

It can be frozen but it is not recommended to do so, look at :-

It pickles very well - peel cloves, stuff in jars, pour over
vinegar+salt+herbs?, store in refrigerator for up to a year. Old garlic
might turn blue, but it's still good to eat.

I've heard they sell garlic cubes frozen at Trader Joe's. I imagine
you could do the same at home, chop it and put it in water in ice cube
trays, then thaw to use. Or maybe even just peeled and floated in water
before you froze it. I'd try it and see, on a small scale, and if it
worked, that would be a way to keep them. Put the cubes in a freezer
bag once they're frozen.

If you are growing your own there are some softnecks that will keep
near a year. Seed garlic selling sites have allot of info.
