Is garlic easy? Uk climate
Oh i have no idea, i have never grown garlic so far.
Often you can get hardier breeds and i would expect it to be possible in the UK as longs as its not freezing.
This looks like a decent guide. Basically lots of sun, not too much water, lil bit of fertilizer and you are sure to get something.

Thank you
Yeah pretty easy, have a go. Maybe a bit too mild to be ideal but if we're talking home production that doesn't matter much. There's a big farm on the Isle of Wight so we can't be too far off.
Wild garlic might be a better option if you're able to forage for it.
I do walk about a lot so I’ll keep an eye out. Thanks.
It's relatively easy, because most pests won't eat it and they are pretty frost resistant. There are winter and summer varieties, so don't mix them up.
I live near a garlic town and it gets fuckin hot there
Gilroy?
Garlic is fine unless you're way up north, it's semi hardy so won't like a prolonged or hard frost but will survive outside just fine.
