I'm surprised by your comment, that you do not have the right growing conditions for growing garlic. Where I am in Arkansas, it is probably the easiest plant to grow. They grow over the winter and are almost as easy as growing weeds. Sometimes they self-seed and grow outside of the garden in the hard ground, like those wild onions you mentioned. They do grow better in the garden beds, though.

I only have an east facing patio with two overhanging trees. The light situation does not lend itself to many plants unfortunately. I do what I can. Peppers, some herbs. There's something that just feels right about growing things.

I get cloves sprouting all the time in the fridge, plant them, and they do well for a month or so before they die, and at best leave behind a marble sized garlic bulb.

I understand your situation better now: a patio with not as much sunlight as most plants want. When I had a patio, I was able to grow some cherry tomatoes in pots. I really wanted to have a garden with more space and sunlight, and I thank God he provided that for me. I pray that you will have better growing opportunities, if that is what you want.

One day I will have a island compound with a vast garden, inshallah.
