Fishy, I have an idea for you, yes 60 bulbs would be an adequate amount. The variety is really the question you need to be asking. You need a bulb with the longest shelf life...my suggestion is Nootka Rose. I say this because I have seen these bulbs still in great shape 10 months after harvest when properly stored. This is a silver skin garlic. Silver skins have a much longer shelf life than a Rocambole or purple stripe.

Getting your hands on 10 of the biggest bulbs you can find right now and plant them for a late harvest this summer will get you by for a while. This variety has a few large cloves and many smaller ones. My experience with them is there are 5-6 of the larger plantable cloves per bulb.

The bulb won't get as big as fall planted but will get you started. I have read that some people think this variety is mouth burning hot but this has not been the case from my experience.
