Why do all the stores you buy gardening supplies from carry garlic for

If they are any good, nurseries will stock things like onion sets and
seed potatoes only when it is the optimum time for planting them in
their locale. In Southern California, for example, if you plant onions
now you will only get green onion results. If you want bulb onions you
have to wait till November to plant. Best thing is to find a good
nursery and ask them. -aem


Maybe you can easily plant onion seeds but not garlic seeds. I've
always use onion seeds and garlic cloves for planting.
