   Well, I got this garlic from Trader Joe's three weeks ago   
   of Argentine origin.  Planted the big ones.  Nothing on   
   Wednesday.  But Friday, a bunch of 1" to 4" sprouts.   
   They seems to like the heat so far.  I figure if they   
   die, I just buy some more.  I do hope TJ's still have   
   them in the fall and has not switched back to the   
   bland American ones.  All the varieties I have planted   
   do not like the heat.   
      
   I wonder if since these came from Argentina, if they   
   have summer and winter backwards.  Hmmmmmm...
