Zana, here's a link to a Seeds of Diversity (Canada) article on garlic in Ontario. Although it probably won't give you all the answers you would like, it does give some insight into garlic in Southern Ontario.

Thanks, hadn't thought to check out the SoD site.

Most of the growers selling garlic were selling Music there. There were only a handful with all the other varieties. Because I didn't get around to all of them that early, since I was working the parking lot for the Kiwanis Club before that, I'm sure sure I missed out on quite a few varieties. Oh well. Next year.
