Not sure what you are asking, but garlic is planted, preferably in the fall, by breaking the bulb into separate cloves. Use only the 4-6 largest cloves, don't bother planting smaller ones. It will probably come up just before hard winter sets in - that's normal, mulch it through the winter. Come spring, remove the mulch, fertilize it once, and let nature do the rest. Keep it weeded. It is ready to harvest when the leaves start turning yellow rapidly and fall over, anywhere from early to mid July. Let the bulbs - leaves and all - dry in a sheltered place for 2-3 weeks. Trim the leaves and roots, and it's ready to use. Softneck garlic (typical "supermarket" garlic) will keep up to a year if well dried. Hardneck garlics ("gourmet" garlic) only keeps 2-3 months.
