Hi, Folks!

Well, you can plant either hard or softneck in the Spring and get a harvest
by the fall, but the bulbs won't be as large as when you planted in the
Fall. You also might have to water more since the garlic won't have had the
winter to develop its root system.
However, your varieties will keep better planted than out of the ground for
a whole year, so if you didn't plant any garlic and it's still around, I'd
plant it as soon as the soil permits. If you don't have any seed garlic
laying around, I'd wait and re-start again in the fall.
