8 years ago I bought a couple of bulbs of Isle of Wight garlic from the local farmers market, thinking that soil and climate are roughly similar to South Hampshire. I planted the cloves in November and harvested when the stems went over - like onions. Every year since then I've kept the three biggest bulbs and planted them each November, the same time as broad beans, and we have had enough garlic for a year. Touch wood, no problems. I have heard that garlic needs a bit of frost to make it form seperate cloves otherwise it just goes into one big one.
Love and Peace
