So today I planted my garlic from saved bulbs from last year (can't remember the original variety I've been self saving garlic bulbs for several years now). 
For reasons of space and other things still being in other growing spaces I've planted mine in a selection of pots this year. 

Who else has already planted garlic and who's planning on doing so?

I've got a few bulbs of Solent Wight (new seed) interplanted in the new strawberry bed, planted a few days ago. Four bulbs of Solent Wight left, just need to find some space to plant them! If they won't all fit in the ground they'll have go in some troughs. New bed in the front garden will be planted with Iberian Wight (self-saved for 4 years), just need to clear it of spring onions and leeks first.

I’ve not planted any exactly. I did find some of the garlic I planted earlier this year sprouting again. So I’ve just left it. Hoping they’ll continue growing & split. Most the ones I harvested hadn’t split. No surprise, they went in late as a last minute change of mind, but they were still edible.

I planted my garlic a week or so ago, about 90 cloves. The cloves were a bit smaller than usual (somebody had used the ones I had set aside). I think there were about 3 or 4 different varieties but not sure. I've put plant labels between each bulb planted to try and see which keeps the longest.

Mine are in, 5 bulbs each of Paradour and Germador split into cloves. That should be enough to keep the vampires away! With luck they should give me about 100 bulbs which will keep us going until the next harvest.

Out of interest how often do you get arrested? 
Just so we can gauge how much garlic you go through.

I planted some saved casablanca (I think) yesterday, and I'm thinking I should plant a few more somewhere. I might even buy some special ones. That'll be novel.
