Duh. Why would anyone want to freeze garlic, Kids? It will keep virtually
forever if stored in a dry place at room temperature. Lower is a bit
better. Some of the pods might eventually decide to do what nature does
best and poke a little green head out, just begging for reproduction. So if
they do, plant them in October or November. Next summer you will have fresh
garlic. All your own. Free.
I grow this wonderful herb (I guess it is an herb) by the bushel in my
flower beds. The ones in the back yard where no one sees it. Just harvested
last years planting last month, and it is so good this year. 
Next time around will try to find some of the more sophisticated types
mentioned in an issue of "Sunset" magazine awhile back. The red types. They
are hard to locate in our area. Everybody seems to beat me to the available
supplies. 
Darn near time to plant. Can't believe it is the first of September. We
didn't have much of a summer and it just doesn't seem fair that the rainy
season is about at the door. If we have another winter like the last two,
most of Oregon will have washed into the ocean. I digress.
