Some plant on the shortest day, to harvest on the longest day. Just ensure the area you've got planned is not likely to get waterlogged, as this is the biggest rotter of garlic bulbs.
No I've heard the shortest day-longest day thing for garlic too. In fact I always thought of shallots as Feb time planting. Though I now know there are over-wintering types, and this year I've got some in. Wonder if they'll cope with the snow? :-\So yes - good luck with the garlic, anthea.
