Hi Jesse,
I start them in a greenhouse in late March or early April. At that time of year the greenhouse is not heated.
I don't put them in the ground anymore. When we did they were actual above ground in the middle of a hilled row. Now a days I grow them in twelve inch round self watering containers.
They make between two to six inner cloves. Three are common in a so so year and five is common in a good year.
I harvest them when the tops turn yellow and start to dry out.
