I've been following the thread on garlic and wanted to offer a suggestion for 
those of you who havent planted garlic yet.
Planting the cloves in the spring is a good stategy if you are trying to save 
what you have from vanishing forever. In most places, spring planting is not 
favorable for bulb development, however, you have a greenhouse, you may be 
able to get a somewhat decent harvest from the spring planted bulbs. If you start 
the cloves in a greenhouse(unheated part of) and plant them out very early 
spring, the results are almost comparable to fall planted cloves. In my area, 
Northern Illinois, zone 5....I start them in the greenhouse mid to end of 
January and plant them out about the end of March. Ive dont this two years in a row 
with excellent results.
