I've been despairing a bit of late over The Garlic Experiment. We had frost one night about 10 days after I got the garlic in, and I wasn't sure if my protective fort for the garlic worked or not. I haven't found sprouts yet and I know it should sprout and grow a little before the cold really sets in. Of course, my work schedule also doesn't give me a lot of daylight to check, either.
Well, there are TWO sprouted right now! And my little bunker has proven to be a spot where leaves get hung up as they blow off trees, so no the garlic planters are mulched with leaves as has been recommended. I think I planted 8 cloves, and while 2 out of 8 isn't a great yield, it will likely be plenty for me and maybe more will pop up before we get a hard frost.
