You can plant soft neck garlic in the spring. It needs a cold period that can be found during the months of February, March, and April. Here is how you plant it and some tips on where to plant it.

Do you buy blackberry and strawberry plants local – like at Sun Nurseries or on-line?
I planted my store bought garlic 2 wks ago, it's coming up great.
Good information.
What can say Gary, another great video. Im so anxious to get out in the garden. I sowed my snow peas this week. Central Ohio.
I grow mostly hard neck in zone 7 but tried 6 soft neck last year with my hard neck in the fall and only 3 did well. So this year I put 6 soft neck in with my winter carrots under my mini poly tunnel and they all came up nicely. Won't know until I harvest and see what they look like but I'm hopeful. This may be an alternative if you want to plant soft neck in the fall in a colder zone.
I took the garlic my family bought and forgot about and planted the cloves last year. I saved the tiny bulbs, left some in-ground to overwinter, and planted out the little bulbs last month. The overwintered garlic started growing in the snow, and the mini bulbs started growing last week. Unfortunately, the rats around here love garlic, so keeping them out has been interesting.
I'm also in Maryland, last year I lost all my alliums to allium leaf miner, are you not experiencing that pest where you are?
If I stored my seed garlic outside in my garage but didn’t get them planted I wonder if the cold stratification could have happened while in storage
0:50 thank you for these awesome tips Gary! No matter how many videos I watch on a certain vegetable. I always learn something new! 💪😎💓🧄
Thanks for the info
Can you plant summer squash next to cucumbers
Gary, I'm always a bit confused on watering onions and garlic. What is best practice? Frequency, how much, etc…
Fellow dmver here in alexandria and just got garlic to plant the other day. Stupid question….. can I plant them in a shalliw container? Like one that is about 4 to 5 inches in height? I usually plant my more shallow root plants in those, but wonderedjif I could successfully grow garlic in them as well. Thanks!
Gary, what water soluble fertilizer do you recommend for vegetables?
