Since I never trust my plant markers *especially* over the winter, here's how my garlic bed is laid out:

The garlic is mostly in north-south rows just north of the gooseberries etc, in two patches: one on the east side of the aspen and one on the west. The east side is planted in more formal rows, the west side starts with more patches. The rows are not perfectly parallel since I couldn't get the tiller running, so it took some legwork to make the trenches to plant into on the east side, and I used the bulb planter for my drill on the west side.

The southern bed is covered in straw, the northern bed is not yet.

From east to west the rows are:

Prussian white (short row, only 1 bulb/4 cloves)
Northern Siberian
Metechi
Northern Quebec
Red Rezan
Great Northern
Purple Glazer
Portugal Azores
Georgian Crystal
Kostyn's Red Russian
Sweet German
Linda Olesky
Sweet Haven
Duganskij
Pretoro (short row, only 1 bulb/ 4 cloves)

(Aspen Tree)

Elephant Garlic planted by the State Fair apple tree so not in line with the others, only 3 cloves (the catalogue said 3 bulbs, I'm not pleased with their advertising)
Khabar (more in a patch than a row)
Fish Lake 3 (only 1 bulb/4-5 cloves)
Newfoundland Tall
Dan's Italian (1 bulb)
Dan's Russian
Brown rose
Wenger's Red Russian

All the above except the elephant garlic from Norwegian Creek garlic farm.

I still need to plant, from Woodgrain Farm, but ran out of room:
Music
Marino
Spanish Roja

That's a lot of kinds of garlic. This feels like a small trial to me, but I guess I really don't garden like other people do.
