This year I let a couple of garlic go to seed and flower, so now I have thousands of tiny garlic cloves/seeds, should I plant them in the ground now as that is when they would of naturally fallen or wait till April? I'm in Melbourne if that helps answer my question

You can plant them as an experiment but you are better off planting the cloves from mature garlic. I also live in Melbourne and have been growing my own garlic for three years with success. I plant about 2- 300 cloves for our own usage yearly. PS: and loving it...
