Would I be able to grow garlic that I brought home from my recent Florida trip, in the Spring? I bought these gorgeous heads of Elephant garlic, each one cost me $4, and I want to try growing them. Your opinion please, thank you,
Yes, you can use them as seed garlic, each clove will develop into a head, however garlic is best planted in the fall. Cut off any seed head that appears on the stalk as it grows, and harvest when the growth dies back.

Stick them in some loose dirt in full sun and watch.
Where do you live? ie: Agricultural growing zone
I live in south fl, I have no luck whatsoever with garlic down here, and I consider myself a good gardener. Perhaps in central or panhandle, you may have luck. Onion family likes cold...
If you live further north, you would have better luck, imho.

Terradown....altho' it's not recommended, I had no problem growing garlic in Yuma, zone 10b. I just had to adjust my planting schedule....just like tomatoes, I would plant in Aug/Sept and be done by May/June.

Last year, I attempted to grow garlic, and put regular garlic on two containers near Thanksgiving, one container had some green shoots on it.......but nothing has sprout up yet.....I think I may have put the garlic down on the soil the wrong way.
This year, I am all excited about the Florida garlic, and I want to make sure nothing goes wrong with it. However, I bought it in early March, so if I have to wait till near Thanksgiving to put it in, it will probably dry in the refrigerator, yes, no?
"it will probably dry in the refrigerator, yes, no?"....yes, plant it.
