Re: Garlic!
I never planted any last fall. Will it still make garlic if I plant it now?

Re: Garlic!
Oh, how exciting! I can't wait for green things, nothing here yet. Please send "melt, thaw and grow" vibes! Yes, @Farrier1987 you can plant garlic NOW and get some in the fall. You can also cut the greens all summer if you're so inclined, and eat them like green onions or chives, YUM!

Re: Garlic!
I have always used them as greens all summer. Just wondered if they had tome to get going properly. Shall get at it soon.

Re: Garlic!
And yes KB, the walking onions are ready to eat now, here anyway. It is so nice to have your own green onions in the spring. Chives ready in a few days.
