hi there..and congrats on harvesting your garlic!! that is one of my favorite fruits of the earth, and i use them in everything!
as for your harvest...do they still have their tops on them? if so, you could do some of those really fancy garlic bairades..thay are always cool! but if you have already plucked them...them make sure that you wipe all excess dirt off them, and you are right to store them in a cardboard box or brown paper bag in your cool basement, boot room or garage. as long as it is dark and cool.
other then that...you could always try to prepare some if you have a huge surplus. try to dry it, or mince and freeze it fresh.
and if you still have too much..i could give you my address.....heheheheh!
