Mike, maybe the clove division is part of the ripening process.


Reading an article on garlic in a back copy of the RHS magazine this
morning, it needs to get properly cold to start the cloving. Tuck the
rounds away somewhere safe till September time, put them in the fridge
for a month, then plant them out again in October.
