     then don't divide the bulb at all.   
      
     if you send me your address in an e-mail i   
   can send you some garlic to see if it survives there   
   for you.  it survives here anything i do to it and   
   i can send quite a few small scapes and also some   
   bigger cloves which will give you bigger bulbs   
   when they grow.

   us busy.  just happens and is actually a good sign   
   in that it says that your soil wants to grow   
   something.
