Quote: In Florida, garlic is grown almost exclusively in home gardens. Its culture is similar to that for onions. Suggested planting dates are September through February. The young plants withstand cold weather, with little danger from freezing.

Since garlic does not produce seed, it is propagated by dividing the bulbs into cloves and planting each clove as a "set." Following harvest the bulbs are stored for about 9 months at 50�F if they are to be used for propagation. If stored at higher temperatures, they fail to form a bulb when planted.
