??storing garlic

Hi fellow gardeners,
  I'm about to harvest my second year's batch of Italian garlic, and
it looks like I'll have another bumper crop.  What I'm wondering
about is how to prolong the life of the garlic because I have so much
and won't use it all immediately?

  Last year when I harvested I laid the pulled heads out in the sun
to dry for a few days, then cut off the foliage and stored the garlic
heads in a box in my cool, dark pantry.  Unfortunately, because I had
so MUCH I couldn't use it all so many of the heads dried out and
weren't useable.

  How can I store the garlic and keep it longer?  Should I try
removing the individual cloves and freezing them, perhaps?  I know I
can make flavored vinegars, which will be very nice, but I want to
keep some separate for using in various dishes.

Your advice will be appreciated,
Joan
