You can get them from the link I posted. Or if you can wait a couple of weeks I'll pick some up for you and post them to you.

Supermarket garlic tends to be force grown under glass so its not blight resistance. It may grow if you are lucky to a full plant but I'd buy garlic meant for planting.

As I mentioned above the frost is what causes a garlic to split so you end up with a bigger bulb.
