I usually buy from the garlic farm - they often have stalls at fairs I go to. Though for obvious reasons I don't think I'll be picking any up soon. Once you have a decent crop you can save the cloves so it is an investment.
I prefer I autumn planting varieties. I've tried the cheap bulbs and I'm sure I got garlic rot from them and the results are poor ( imo) compared to good varieties suited to the UK.
I have to grow in an area away from my veg plot now - so only grow a few clovesthese days.
I've grown elephant garlic for years - I've never run out and like VC there's always some in the ground.
