Prolly won't hurt them a lot, though it costs the cloves some energy. Don't
know about your location, but maybe planting a bit later would help; best
to not see any top growth before winter sets in.

i'm in mid-michigan here, normally (or naturally)
these garlics if left alone will start regrowing
mid-to-late August. these are then harvested the
next summer.

if i don't replant them until there is no chance
of them starting to grow again i'd have to wait
until late November or perhaps even longer now that
we are having such wimpy winters.

i'll see how these turn out. waiting longer to
plant would be better as i could put another crop
in that space before the garlic.
