Each year, I set aside enough if the garlic harvest to plant the crop for the following year. Each bulb usually has six to ten cloves, which makes a row in my garden. This year, I planted four rows of Music garlic (hardneck) and four rows of Lorz (softneck) garlic. Supposedly, softneck will keep longer although last year the hardneck Music kept nearly a year.
Music. These have huge cloves.
Lorz. Cloves are nice size but not gigantic, and there are more of them.
This is how deep I plant them, about 3 or 4 inches deep.
