Planted from nursery stock this year. No flower/seed stalks apparent, do I pull or cut fruit stalks then mulch over for winter?

I am in Zone 8b and planted nursery plants in February but they have not produced sprouts and it is probably too hot for them to now.
Garlic 09 Sep, Mario Dalli (Australia - cool/mountain climate)
Can a small complete bulb of garlic be replanted to grow larger in the next growing season.
Garlic 22 Sep, Faith Celeste Archer (Canada - Zone 5a Temperate Warm Summer climate)
Certainly, BUT GENERALLY you break your bulb apart into it's constituent CLOVES and plant each clove separately. That is, each clove becomes a garlic plant.

What makes watermelons to be sugarless
Watermelon 03 Nov, Bee-Pie (South Africa - Humid sub-tropical climate)
Watermelon is a desert plant and needs full sun. Watermelons need to produce a lot of leaves to make enough sugar to produce sweet fruit. To do this they need a constant supply of water. It could also be to a nutrient deficiency in your soil.
