Hi, I am in Knysna South Africa (not sure if I have chosen the right climate zone?). I would like to plant garlic asap and wonder if it is too early and whether it would suit a shady area in my veg garden?

Garlic prefers cooler conditions so plant the clovves in April or May for haresting later in the year.
