Down here in the Detroit area I grow it, and I plant it by cloves. I think it should do well up there. Garlic is pretty hardy.

Do you have to plant garlic in the fall, or can you plant some this spring?

I have planted mine in the spring and it is ready by fall. It does self seed if you don't dig it up. It is coming up all over in my veggie garden.
