Garlic's in the ground

I got around to putting in ~40 cloves of garlic this past weekend. Twelve are German Hardneck Rocambole and the rest are S&H Silverskin, all from Southern Exposure Seed Exchange. I like the taste of the hardneck varieties better, but I want to try a little of everything before I settle. When I planted garlic a couple years ago they had quite a bit of top growth before spring due to a very mild winter and I think the bulb size suffered as a result. Let's hope we actually have a winter this year.

I didn't do anything special with the planting (though I did scour the net for potential tips and tricks). They are on ~6 inch centers, about 1.5" deep and covered with a few inches of leaf mulch.

The Deliberate Agrarian has quite a bit on info on planting/growing/processing garlic ... good read, but I don't see myself going that big anytime soon (though I could dig up the front yard ...?).
