I haven't planted yet, but about a week ago I came up with my planting list and now have the cloves to be used for planting in the crisper drawers of my garage fridge for a 4+ week pre-chilling. I've found I get the best results in my warm winter area if I pre-chill for 4-5 weeks prior to planting - picked up this invaluable tip from a N. Fla gardener a couple of years ago.

I will then plant out around mid-Nov or so.
