Yeah, that's what made my week. My garlic bed was the last one to thaw,
because that straw cover, which insulated the soil, also prevented it from
thawing quickly. But I've had little green shoots for over a week now. I
can't wait, it's my first time growing garlic.

Gary, when do you usually harvest? I am in your zone, over the border in
southern Vermont.

Bent severely over the past year+, battered and weathered, but yesterday I
looked at the garlic bed, with one end just emerging from the snows.
There
are little green shoots poking up.

Life goes on. Praises be.
