In case simy is bz.

Soil temp and moisture are the big factors for fall crops. I have
cilantro coming up from self seeding already and it has been hot. I
planted spinach, the cole crops and a bunch more of cilantro last
weekend hoping for some rain this week. Plant some every couple of weeks.

And yes, plant the cloves, trim the tops.

I went to a local nursery today and bought broccoli, mesclun, red chard,
snap peas, and romain plants and radish seeds. Most of the vegetables
you mentioned are not available here--even as seeds. Am still cleaning
out the summer garden, and we still have tomatoes, squash, eggplant,
melons and cucumbers. It may be fall, but we still have day temps in
the upper 80s. You mentioned garlic shoots. Should I just plant garlic
cloves?
