| I bought a pack of four garlic bulbs and was wondering if I need to divide them into the smaller sections to plant or just plant the whole bulb as is. Thanks for your help. |

| You should divide the garlic bulb by each clove, keeping the paper on before planting. Each clove will grow into a bulb eventually. :) |

| You divide them individually, leaving the paper on the cloves. You're a bit late for planting though. |

| Try it anyway, even if you are late to be planting. It's cheap enough to just plug in a few to see what happens. |

| I don't know how it is in Alabama, but here in So. Cal I plant garlic year 'round. To start, I planted in October, about 40 cloves. Then, in June/July when I harvested, I planted more. Then each year rotates in time, depending on when I harvest. I've never had a problem and they have lasted through our mild-cold winters & overly-hot summers. I can't stand it if there is a lull in between harvests when I have to buy a garlic head. Such a difference! |
