Planted 15 varieties today. I hope it wasnt to early.

Where are you located? The rule of thumb I've heard is to plant 6-8
weeks
before ground frost, which most years at my location is well into
December.
Ideally, you want the garlic to put down good root growth before the
ground
freezes, but little if any top growth.
More rules to be severely bent... I do things when I can!

We had our first real frost last night; there was just the lightest
"kiss"
of frost a couple of weeks ago. Didn't even kill the Basil. I'm sure
this
one did; the squash foliage is already looking wilted out there.


Southern ca. Sometimes we never get a frost. Around easter it starts to
get cold.
I meant Halloween. Don't know why I said Easter.
