While sitting around waiting to be planted, the garlic have 7" of green
growth and roots that long. They are not in the ground or in soil.
Some of the cloves have seperated by themselves.

Obviously you guys don't have the experience or you would know what I
was talking about.


I do understand actually as I sprout my garlic too prior to planting it.
I get better success that way.

Don't trim anything at all! Just dig...... and don't worry about binding
the roots a bit. It won't hurt them.

Do NOT trim the sprout top!!!!!
