-a Walmart , in the produce section . Relatively cheap , so buy plenty . You only want to plant the biggest cloves . Big cloves = big bulbs .

Buy where ever you can find what you want. You only have to buy it once,
and you can keep growing the ones you like forever. Just set the largest bulbs aside for planting in the fall.

So just plant 1 clove from the bulb?
For green onions, just the grocery store and plant the bottom (with an
inch or so of green) and will come up for 5-6 years, snip tops as you
go along.

-a I buy bulbs from the farm store in the spring/early summer and store them in a drawer in the fridge . I've had some viable after a year ...
maybe 35%-45% grew . Try planting your green onions in a largish pot
(think maybe sapling size) out on your deck/porch etc . Pluck one and
stick another bulb from the fridge in the hole - or the root end (1/4
inch) of the one you just pulled . Get a rotation going and you'll have fresh green onions forever . I get lazy/busy and let the rotation die
out and then have to start all over .

There are less chances of infected bulbs if you buy "seed garlic" from proper sources, There are also many different varieties to explore, and there are probably varieties that grow better in your climate than what
you get at the grocery. But, the grocery store can work great to get started.

Buy where ever you can find what you want. You only have to buy it once,
and you can keep growing the ones you like forever. Just set the largest
bulbs aside for planting in the fall.
I have been trying to grow garlic for probably ten years now.
They always fail on me. I am not about to spend 40 U$D plus
shipping for planting garlic.
We have a lot of commercial garlic farmers out here. What they
grow is top secret. If I could get my hands on some of it at
one of the farmers markets, I bet I'd finally get a good crop.
Unfortunately, our local farmers markets mostly sell crafts.
You know the stuff that you build yourself and costs you
three times what just bought it prebuilt.
I am thinking of just getting some from the local supermarket/
Wally World etc. The organic bulbs have been rather small
lately. I will pick through the bin.

i read somewhere grocery store garlic may be treated with something
to help prevent it from sprouting on the shelves.
that somewhere may have been here;
