I still have bulbs left and will try again. I stored them in the fridge so that accomplishes the cold part.
Thank for you for your response.

Barb, earlier this year I found a great site with info on growing garlic in the South. That's where I got the idea of pre-chilling it. According to this info you can just about grow any kind of garlic in the South by pre-chilling. We'll see. Mine has been in a little dorm refrigerator for 10 weeks at 43-46 degrees. I'm going to plant next week.

Grey Duck used to sell garlic but doesn't any more. However they've left their website and all it's good info there for those of us who need it. That was really thoughty of them!
