doglover, I'm enjoying your questions, because I'm new to garlic growing too. I've actually grown it before, but just in small amounts for myself, and didn't grow anything other than basic garlic, if there is such a thing. My neighbor picked it up at the farmers market for me, I stuck it in the ground, and harvested when it was ready. It was good, but I really want something different. Like you, I didn't know that there were so many different kinds of garlic.
Please keep asking questions because we can all learn something from the answers! One awesome thing about this site is that there are so many amazing people in one place! There may be a lot of different opinions on each topic, but that is what makes it so interesting to me! You're bound to find the correct answer for your situation, because there will likely be someone with the same growing conditions that has the right answer. And no matter what, you'll always learn something new!
Right now, I'm dreaming of Creole garlic, even though I've never had it before!
