I did a bit of research about planting in your zone - October to December... Not too helpful! I would view this as an experiment. Plant some now, some later- and see what works for you!

Well, that's not what I did! I planted 100 cloves yesterday after work - now the long wait. :/

Nothing beats seeing those greens early in the spring!!! Are you going to cover your row with straw? I always do, but I am not sure it is necessary... just a habit on my part! Here's to waiting!

I finally planted my garlic from storebought organic. It started sprouting a week after! Can't believe it would sprout this fast!

Great luck on the sprouts Mary! My garlic started sprouting recently too, its probably a couple weeks past when I planted, but the cats were using it as a litter box so I'm lucky the sprouted all I guess!

yup, I have a straw bale for that purpose. I plan to do that today. I like to put my straw through my shredder first - I know it's not necessary, but it just looks so much neater.lesa said:

It's just a combo blower/shredder - I think it's a Black & Decker.StupidBird said:
