Re: healthiest, I mean don't plant any cloves that appear to have disease or insect damage. Seed should be the best you've got.
Well all my garlic has rust disease so I am going to have to research if the spores stay alive after plants are dead.

I am paranoid now about transferring the disease to next years crop because it is like a spore that spreads I think.

I am hoping it cannot lay dormant
