type garlic bulbs in the search window and you will be taken to the page in the catalog. serving their catalog, it is full of great stuff.
garlic is available in september. not sure you may be able to serving now or call them and find out when. once available, they sell out fast.

Directions:

Order early. Plant in September for a June harvest.
Dig a hole about 6 inches deep and 8 inches across.
Fill the hole with a good planting mix. You want the ground soft for the roots to grow and more important for the clove to form a large bulb and start separating into cloves. Loose soil = larger bulbs.
Use only the largest cloves for planting. Smaller cloves for cooking. The size of the clove determines the size of the finished plant.
Plant the root end of the clove down.
Plant the clove so it is covered with 2 inches of soil.
If you have tilled the ground well enough, make holes ith your fingter or whatever 8 inches apart and 3 inches deep. Make all the holes first, then put a clove in each hole and cover with dirt
Water.
The clove will send up a small stalk and it can get as tall as 12 inches before it goes dormant for winter.
In the spring it starts growing again.
Keep and eye on the plant starting in late April.
Once the hot weather comes on and the plant is getting near the final stage a stalk with a seed pod is sent up. Cut the stalk off! It robs the bulb of nutrients.
Mulch around the plants to remain moist.
When the stalks start to fall over it is time to check a plant to see if it has formed cloves. Don't pick to early.
Once you have determined it is time to pick, dig up the whole plant and tie about 8 bulbs together and hang to dry.
There you have the process and it will produce copious amounts of incredible garlic.
