I have grown garlic in San Diego at least twice.  Planting involved 
notrhing more than breaking the mother into cloves and planting them in
rich soil.  Like onions, garlic should never thirst for water.  They probably need
a period of long days in which to bulbm (some onions need 14 hour days).
When the tops droop, the garlic is ready but should be left in the ground to season.
When harvested, garlic tops can be braided for an attractive storage technique.
