Most seeds and bulbs will not start to germinate until
the soil is the right temperature, if you waant to start them early then you need to make them think its spring.

Garlic cloves need to be planted at least an inch deep,
so make some paper pots and keep them indoors until the weather improves.
Hope your chest is better.
