∙ 10y agoGarlic grows best no further north than USDA Zone 8. I'm in Zone 7 and I grow it during the cool season him my tunnel house for protection, so it is ready for my customers in late spring. So in my area you can definitely say the garlic is locally grown.

I love garlic, and think it is a great idea to grow your own. Upon researching this topic, I found that garlic bulbs should be planted in the mid winter in order for them to be harvested the following summer.

Why some plants no need seed to grow?
Seeds are a way that some plants reproduce. Those that do not use seeds for reproduction, do not need seeds. <><> They have other means of reproduction. Strawberry plants send out runners, which will root and form new plants. Potato plants grow potatoes, which sprout into new plants. Garlic and daffodils grow bulbs, which sprout new plants.
Does garlic have seeds?
Yes but its not so easy to get them. The varieties we grow have been selected for bigger and better garlic bulbs which compete with the seed formation for nutrients. To get the garlic to form seeds you need to suppress garlic bulb formation. The seeds also compete against what are called bulbils. The garlic plants sends up a head of flowers and bulbils (depending on the type of garlic), the bulbils are tiny cloves that grow on the garlic scape (where the flowers grow). If the bulbils are allowed to grow they swell up and they kill off the flowers. The seeds would come from the flowers that get properly pollinated, but if the bulbils squeeze them out they just die and never open up enough to get pollinated. So yes, garlic can have seeds, but due to the way we've grow them, they no longer have seeds naturally (at least not the ones we grow for food).
