FINALLY this past weekend I had the time to prep the garden and
get the German Red and White in.


If it looks like the ground will freeze more than an inch deep in the next
4+ weeks, put some mulch over the garlic, so it can get roots down to
anchor it before everything stops. Otherwise, a moderate mulch _after_ the
ground freezes helps to damp the freeze/thaw cycle that can damage roots.

I just finished planting mine last week in zone 5/4.... Some ground-up
leaves waiting in the wings just in case...

Yup, covered it with mulch 'cause of my late planting.
