(same as other allium), you obviously planted way too early... if anything the early cold/snow may be a gift.

This is trouble because it allows winter heaving. And no, properly planted and cared for garlic usually does not sprout or grow much green until a warm spell during winter. And then when it does, it's time for a high nitrogen feed, followed by several more through May. (experienced in zone 5/6). how many garlic crops have you brought to market? prolly more than years you've trekked Terra Firma a couple of fun places to visit & learn: http://thegarlicstore.com/ZenCart/Index.php http://www.gourmetgarlicgardens.com/boutique.htm For a wide selection of planting stock, check back about June to order Steve Young |
