This year is my first serious attempt at growing garlic, well, actually I planted the bulbs in the fall. We purchased a few bulbs from growers at a garlic fest in Bennington, VT over the labor day weekend, which we planted in October; the varieties were: Italian Purple and Canadian Music. We wanted more bulbs to fill a raised bed, so I purchased some more from Agway. It was California soft neck, so I asked them if it would grow in our area, and I was assured it would. Well, we had a very very hard winter, and, not a single soft neck bulb survived, even though the bed was covered with a deep layer of straw. All of the bulbs from the growers came up and look pretty good to me. Also, I bought two types of garlic bulbis on eBay, which were tiny. All of the bulbis came up, much to my surprise. I have no idea of what I should do with the bulbis. I assume they are picked, dried and replanted in the fall.
