Elephant garlic is milder, the cloves are huge, its easy to grow and the flowers are attractive. I leave mine in the ground all year round. Dig up some cloves at the end of the season and leave the tiny cloves around the sides in situ for another year.I harvested the tiny clove-lets and am trying to grow them on but they just don't seem to want to grow?
The ones I planted last year and left untouched are about 12" tall.

My garlic aren't as big as yours Can, and I am going to need to move some of them, as they're in the middle of where the new big greenhouse will go! Will they be ok to be moved do you think, if I disturb them as little as possible?

Thank you
I'll have to give it a go! Some can stay where they are and end up inside the greenhouse, but some will need to move because the base will end up on top of them! lol

Planning to grow garlic, because I heard that it's does not need special care, so I should do it!

. If it doesn’t work perfectly ( mine never does 
) , you can try again next year .

I have growing garlic for many years but can only say out of 20 years growing, I have only had two decent harvests! I still keep growing it every year though as even small garlic crops are still tasty!

I never bothered with garlic until a couple of years ago but now just bung the cloves in any spare place. The bulbs in the seed merchants are quite expensive but I got some Casablanca from Home Bargains cheaply and it came up OK, also bought a bulb from the supermarket, split it into cloves and planted it. Both lots are growing well. The supermarket ones are smallish because they're in rough ground and I haven't looked after them. So the upshot is, of course you should have a go, what have you got to lose?
