I grow both types. My softneck variety is (probably mostly) "Polish
Softneck" and my hardneck variety is (probably mostly) "Music."
"Probably mostly" as I have had other varieties before but I am pretty
sure these two have been the winners in the long run for producing
consistantly large, quality heads. (I'm not quite up to selecting garlic
for subtle differences in flavor; as long as it's not wimpy it's OK by
me.)
My "seed stock" was originally from Territorial Seeds:
