Thread: Update and growing garlic

I read Olav's post and will start a topic, perhaps several. I usually just read. To refresh - name: Paul Kiefer, I teach high school physics, and am retiring this spring after 42 years (although I will be teaching A.P. Physics parttime next year.)
I did have a question for anyone who might remember. There was, several years ago, a teacher who posted here (or perhaps another board) about growing garlic. I have been doing some reading and would like to plant some garlic. My question - soft neck garlic or hard neck garlic?
