Eliza, I grew ‘shop’ garlic,described as ‘IOW organic’ from a village shop in Lulworth.
It produced magnificently, now second season so can recommend. Personally, I shall plant early November, in N Hampshire, as although its nice to see it up, it will overwinter best if not too tall and exposed. I mulched it with hay ,this year just prior to the Beast from east. No slug damage was seen.
Good Luck
