   Will let you know.  The garlic, half dozen plants, is still flourishing   
   in a deck pot maybe because we have yet to have had a hard freeze.   
      
   For some reason she also planted a couple of cloves in a pot with a   
   little holly tree she has been nursing for a couple of years.  She said   
   it looked drooping and told me to plant it in an open spot out front   
   under a  Norway spruce.  It was getting pot bound and cloves did not   
   want to be pulled so I left them.  Will be interesting to see if they   
   survive too.
