Very basic garlic question.

if i take a clove of garlic and stick it in a pot of compst, will it grow into a bulb of garlic?
And do i need to take the purple skin off first and just plant the white flesh part?
Thanks

yes a clove will produce a bulb in time
you leave the immediate skin on the clove. just like you have have broken it off the bulb.

Icy - Oct to Feb is the usual bracket - depending on the variety.
