Do you know that the garlic capital of the world is not far from you? Folks in Gilroy have been growing garlic for … ever! So it’s possible. It doesn’t really need a chill. But it does need rich, loose (not compacted) soil. Some growers plant on the shortest day of the year (winter solstice) and harvest on the longest (summer solstice) but you can just use that schedule as a gauge.
