Any advice for growing garlic in Florida? I try every year using Store bought garlic cloves and it sprouts but I never get new garlic bulbs or I never see the new garlic bulbs re-sprout after the green leaves die off.

Store-bought garlic is sprayed with a sprouting inhibitor so that’s part of the problem. I’m thinking it’s way too hot for garlic in Florida; it needs a long chilling/resting period each fall/winter season before it perks up again in the spring.

HOWEVER, ‘The Survival Gardener’ says you CAN do it, if you get the proper variety of garlic and keep it in your fridge for 10-12 weeks so it gets the cold it needs to get going, again.
