Last fall I planted garlic for the first time. It was really easy. Following directions I found online, I used different garlic heads from farmer's markets, broke them up into cloves, and planted them at the end of the season (it's tradition to plant them on the shortest day of the year). Sure enough, they came up this spring.
I planted them among my herbs, but they were easy to spot. 
Again following online advice, I pulled them when the stalks were brown about a 1/3 of the way.
Now all that's left is to cure them (dry them out).
Pretty cool, huh? I'm going to plant a ton of these next year!
