We are in limbo right now for planting garlic. Too late and too early. You'd get too much growth to assure a good chance of winter survival but not enough to allow more than a few leaves to harvest. Best that you can do now is to begin making a proper bed for next year's harvest after a mid-September or later planting this year.

Or maybe you can plant a few in gal. pots indoors and harvest around xmas or later.I don't know if it can be done though.
