Garlic seeds

You probably could; it might take a few years to get a bulb of garlic from the seeds though.

What most people do is to split the cloves and plant them; do it before Christmas and you should be harvesting garlic June/July next year.

The seeds, chuck them in a corner somewhere and see what happens, but don't rely on them for next year's garlic.

Like most people I should imagine, I've never grown garlic from seed. I would plant them though, for a try, and if it was me, seeing that you live in Scotland, I would plant them indoors.
Let us know if they grow, I'm intrigued.

what size pot does a garlic clove need to reap a good return?

I meant pot the seeds till big enough to transfer outside into the garden

I meant if i was to sow garlic cloves in a pot, what size pot would I need?

Garlic seeds? Now there's an idea! I wonder why the seed catalogues don't sell them though.
Potato seed experiment seems to have worked well so I can't see why the garlic seed experiment shouldn't!
