If you have a long season, or you really don't want the plants to get scapes, then plant in spring. Otherwise fall plant. I usually dig mine a little after the garlic. Eat all the large bulbs, (or sell at the farmer's market for big bucks) and then plant all the small ones. Don't plant as deep as garlic.

I like this opinion
