As far as I know garlic should go directly into the garden. Thats what I do
and apart from this year always have a very nice crop.

My wife and daughter have just come back from the Garlic Farm Shop and there
are no greenhouses there. The Garlic goes straight into the ground.

I was told by someone on my allotment that garlic cloves should be
frosted so that they divide otherwise all that grows is a very large
single clove rather than a bulb of cloves.

My wife, the gardener in the house, has just pointed out this web site from the Garlic Farm .....

Grow Garlic yourself in the UK - The Garlic Farm for all things garlic

I was told by someone on my allotment that garlic cloves should be
frosted so that they divide otherwise all that grows is a very large
single clove rather than a bulb of cloves.

I wonder how they grow it in Malta then, not really known for it's frosts.

Urban legend!

If you let garlic flower and then produce bulbils from those flowers, if
you then plant those bulbils the resulting crop will be a one bulb
garlic. However if you then plant those single bulbs the resulting crop
will then be the usual bulb with cloves. Which reminds me, I have some
bulbils that I must plant.

And the best time for planting garlic is November, though I've got away
with it by planting in March. Didn't get very big bulbs, though.

.... and talking about garlic, I bought some bear garlic seeds from
Thompson and Morgan last year. Not one of them germinated.

Trial and error has taught me that the best time to plant Garlic here is
mid/late September. If planted late and with a heavy clay/silt soil they
don't grow well until the spring anyway, planted earlier they at least get a
decent start at growing before the winter wet sets in.
