Im in North Florida and am probably going to get my bulbs in around first week of November, that should get them with plenty of time to get set up for a december frost, even then our frosts generally are not that bad.. I got two totes full of good compost / soil stewing now getting ready to...
I didn't do one this year, got in on it too late to really do it. I did get notification from Filaree Farms though that they ARE shipping me my garlic for this upcoming season. Now that I learned from my past mistakes, hopefully I can keep this bunch alive long enough to harvest it!

I tried growing garlic last year. It was doing fantastic until we got about 2 weeks straight of rain and it ended up neck rotting. Later I figured out it was probably my fault. I was not aware that a garlic bulb will grow a few inches down into the soil and not right the top like onions...
