No need to peel the cloves. They need to experience cold before they will sprout. You should probably treat them to a few weeks in the refrigerator before planting. Since you don't have a real winter, I would expect you to see sprouts within a month or so. You might want to check for local information at university extension in Fla or another southern source, as it is not that easy to grow garlic in the south, and special techniques and timing may be required.
