For the garlic, they don't like to be crowded so don't companion plant them. They're an allium though so if you plant them as a border they can sometimes protect other plants from pests. Overwinter hardnecks and plant 4-6in with 2-3in mulch. Soak them in hydrogen peroxide and then a bath of liquid fertilizer before planting.

We planted Egyptian walking onions last year. They are doing well still. They fall over and grow, but are also easy to grab the seeds and replant elsewhere also.
