Poultry Talk Ontario (pto.ca)

Just noticed the first few tiny shoots of one of my garlic varieties (Chiloe) is up! Must have water wings poor things. odd because generally OC's is up weeks before mine.

I looked for mine this morning..nothing! Lucky you!

Mine is under a foot of snow, I am hoping it's quietly growing under there

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

No clue but your walking onions have started up!

Yes, you can plant now.

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!

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

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.

chibes and garlic are both up 10 inches here....benefits of sand....daffodils have flower heads coming up and my crocuses are just in bloom. a bit chilly out today tho. brrr. as long as it stays liquid coming down and not solid. i am itching to get going in the gardens lol
