November, December or even January. :)

Mine were January planted & I've got another good crop.
Did it really tell you to do THAT on the packet?

I do mine in late September since my soil is impossible to dig (frozen solid) during winter.

If it is autumn planting garlic, it can be planted in November. garlic need's a cold period so it need's to be established before the frost comes. Try dibbing a hole and filling with sharp sand then place the clove in this. I did that this season and despite all the rain have had the best harvest ever.

But dont panic if you have a forgetful moment as I did and in March found my autumn planting garlic- not as good a crop as if I had planted them last year, but I got a crop!

how can something as 'fragrant' as a box of garlic get miss-placed?
Very often quite lost- would be more lost if I could work out where I was!- But always find my way home.....

Mine will go in around the end of Oct - have set aside about 20 of the largest bulbs from this year's harvest, ready to be split and then planted

Doesn't that depend on how much you use? ;) I haven't got a big enough growing space to grow enough garlic for a whole year.
