Thinking about garlic. I missed our November plant time. Since it needs a long time in cold ground (which I didn't know was the reason for November planting), I wonder if I could use a container with a lid, fill it with dirt, stick some garlic in, and keep it in the fridge for two or three months, then plant outside or in a pot. Do I even need the dirt? Could I just keep it in the fridge for a while then plant? Maybe I'll try both and see if either will work.
IIRC there are some bulbs that need to be frozen before they will bloom again and the growing instructions for temperate climates are to stick them in the freezer for a while. Seems to me all you needed to freeze was the bulb and not any associated soil. Sounds like you are on the right track.
