Hi Laura - I keep mine in a crock on the work surface, it keeps it cool, dry and out of the light, I would think that it is getting damp in the fridge which it doesn't like. Mine looks a bit like this http://www.4garlic.com/keeper.html

Thanks so much Sheila....I thought that's what I should do....I've seen these "garlic keepers" but never bought one.

I have a hard time finding a good bulb of garlic and using it all before it goes

You just are not a true foodie until you have garlic breath and woofy hands, right?

What you need Laura is a garlic press! It makes crushing garlic so quick and easy!


Just make sure you buy a sturdy metal one and not plastic! And if you clean it immediately, it washes right up! Dried garlic is a pain to get off anything!
