Planting Garlic

They will all grow but maybe not as big as they should. Also remember to feed them as they will use the goodness in the compost quite quickly if they are squashed together. Mine get tomatorite.

Fridge, 2 weeks.
That is what I do.
Would 1 week do? I have no idea, possibly, probably. Search the net.
Why plant in pots then into the fridge?
Just put the cloves in there, then plant the cloves.

It may simply be getting too late in the year to plant.
Garlic are harvested when the leaves turn yellow. That tends to be July/August. It is now April. 2 weeks in a fridge means that you are close to May. Running out of time

Did plant some from a supermarket a few years ago and they were successful, they had a couple of weeks in the fridge and I probably planted about this time of year. But at the small cost they were it didn't really matter.

Where did the garlic come from?
Actually stupid question, you can either plant them or eat them.
That as best I can tell are the only options.

To Kermit:
If your 3 yr old planted them just leave them. They are their plants and if doing all right leave. 

You say some are very close to the surface. Add a little more compost - get the 3 yr old to do it. Will add the depth and will add some additional nutrient (better crop).

Im also new to planting garlic, im very happy that they are popping through the surface heheheh im doing somethinmg right i hope.

I've just picked up some 'Garlic Sultop' variety which says to plant in Spring...hopefully they'll do!? Better than nothing I reckon and worth the couple of quid to at least try
