When did you plant it? It should have gone in last October.

Your garlic will flower first (pinch off the scape or flowering head
before it comes out so more energy goes into the bulb); after
flowering, the green part of the plants will start to yellow. When
about half the leaves are yellow on any given plant (probably August in
the UK, given this year's weather), it should be time to take the bulb
out.

They probably won't come ready all at the same time, so exercise
caution!

I planted mine last December and they are ready for lifting now.
