Should I lift and divide the cloves and replant them?


If you don't divide, you'll get small crowded bulbs next season.
If you do divide, you may harm the root system and stunt the new bulbs a
bit. But not likely as much as not dividing.
If you've already got plenty of garlic planted, why not let the tops grow
for a bit, and pull for "green garlic." Use like scallions.
