Again, if we are talking about elephant garlic I am not so sure they will be viable in the fall. Real heirloom, gourmet garlic will easily keep for 4 months (hardneck) and my Creole garlic will keep for a year or longer!
If it were me, I would just use (eat) the stuff you can salvage and start all over with fresh bulbs in the fall. If you DON'T LIKE GARLIC, go with elephant garlic. If you love to eat/cook with garlic, get some heirloom garlic. My wife and I use garlic almost every day and have become so addicted to gourmet garlic, we would never even consider using anything else. We certainly would never use grocery store garlic again. But that's just us.
