Planting Help

Hi Everyone, I'm growing garlic for the first (serious) time this year. (Last year i planted grocery store garlic just to see if it would grow, and it did!) I bought Transylvanian, Chesnok Red, Music, Inchelium Red and Romanian Red, and am preparing the bed this weekend. I wanted your opinon of the planting order and direction for the rows.

The bed gets full sun, and is a square 10x10 in the NE corner of my garden, I could go ExW rows or NxW. I understand that Music grows very tall, so it would probably be better off either north row, in an ew planting, or west row of a NX planging - is that right? What about the others?

Thanks!
-Jenn

the inchelium I recall is a shorter plant than the others. get those out in the open. east to west rows are best I believe, that's how mine are layed out.
