I've attempted to grow garlic twice in the last few years and have never had luck. Not sure what I'm doing wrong. But some day I will conquer this one!

You have such an abundance of it!

If it is any help I made this post about planting garlic:

https://steemit.com/homesteading/@goldenoakfarm/planting-garlic-november-21-2018-goldenoakfarm

Several key things:

Plant early enough in fall for root systems to develop
Use the biggest cloves from each bulb only
Mulch well to protect from frost heaving
Feed them
Keep them weeded, they HATE competition
Water regularly if needed
Take scapes off before seedhead swells
Harvest when 2nd bottom leaf turns brown

Hope you have better luck on your next try!
