Garlic Planting Time

I didn't have much success with garlic this year - they rotted in the ground or disapeared altogether. So I'm just wondering whether I shall bother with them again - but if I do - now is the time to be planting them.

You would be better to delay until it gets a little drier (hopefully) and colder. They're not going to break into growth just yet anyway so the delay will cause no issue.
