She is right. After the bulbils (small garlic bulbs) are removed or fell off, seeds will grow in the stiff neck garlic flower. Those need to be planted to grow into bulbils and replanted to grow into garlic bulbs. It takes 3 years. They will all be clones of the original garlic. All garlic planted from cloves or bulbils are clones.
However when 2 types of garlic seeds have been left to flower and get cross pollinated they will grow a new type of garlic which will be less resistant to disease than the clones grown in the same garden year after year. -
First she says to plant the seeds 0.5 to 1.0 inches deep. Then the caption says 1.0 to 1.5 inches deep. Then she says to just throw the seeds on the soil and cover them with 0.25 inches of soil. Stop sniffing glue lady!

@mystic121 if you plant in fall your garlic can come up anytime your ready to use it. gar;ic is pulled in the summer to store it, so your garlic seed plants if they havent divided dont really need to come out but it may be best to pull them out and condition your soil and respace the plants, so you can leave them in or dig and move or dig and replant in fall, i planted my seeds in spring and i dug up some today :D

what! garlic doesnt make seeds! the little black seeds are onions or other alliums not garlic. garlic flowers will make tiny cloves of garlic and they are light in colour, these can be planted like explained in the vid, see my vids for garlic seeds.
