He probably can! This stuff that I'm growing is really, REALLY hardy. My mother got it from a friend of mine some 25 years ago... and now we are both growing it. My friend gave up on gardening and turned his plot to grass, but says that it still smells like garlic when he mows there.

We are the colder part of zone 5. My garlic has never shown any signs of even the slightest winter damage, so if Plattsburgh is zone 4, there shouldn't be any problem.
Thanks! We(mostly HE) just finished his 24x24 garden and he is really the one that introduced me to using "real" garlic. Did you start from seeds or maybe I should just search for it?
