Around then, I sowed mine last year on 10th October. You can get Spring planting varieties too, but I haven't tried that.

You plant garlic in October or spring, depending on variety. This may help? How to Grow the Garlic herb.All gardeners know better than other gardeners." -- Chinese Proverb.Comment

Welcome to the Vine Newchillies. For best results sow Oct /Nov.
You can use garlic from the supermarket.
If your ground is cold and wet in winter drill it up into V shaped mounds and plant the garlic into the top of the V's.
Alternatively plant it into containers of compost - 6" of depth is enough.

To get the traditional looking garlic you need an autumn planting. I sowed some in March in a protected raised bed and the cloves have only produced a single bulb do to not being exposed to enough cold weather. They are still usable but not very big.
