Growing garlic later in the year

An interesting read here and something I should consider as I use copious garlic in cooking.

I read the article and it is quite an interesting idea.  I'm thinking of trying it for eating fresh and preserving 

He mentions roasted garlic.  I roasted my remaining shed stored crop a few weeks ago, as it was starting to sprout.  The pulp gets packed into an ice-cube tray, frozen, then bagged up. I like the thought of a summer batch of this, as it is amazing for curries, cheese sauces and soups.  I should mention I have a couple of ice-cube trays dedicated to freezing herbs and stuff like the garlic.  Don't use your normal ice-cube tray unless you enjoy odd tasting drinks 

I’ve grown garlic this way (on purpose, too!) and it works well if you want a lot in one go. I do a lot of cooking large batches of things for the freezer, and this makes preparing it much less tedious. I don’t recall if I tried to store any, but my hunch is it wouldn’t store well, unprocessed. I am currently using ready crushed garlic either frozen, or preserved in vinegar at the moment, and I’m sure it could be preserved as either of those fairly easily. As I haven’t actually planted my garlic I’ll probably do it again this year.  If I’ve got a few spare cloves, I’ll put them in the fridge to see what happens.
