Garlic Bulbs Sprouted. How Long Until Ready for Harvesting?

Hey! :)

My garlic that I planted in October just sprouted (see pic). And I was wondering how long it takes for the garlic's leaves/stem to turn brown for harvesting?

Thanks :-()

I don't know about where you live but garlic I plant in October will be ready about May or June.

Annalkona, where are you? It would help to include that info with your "handle". Here in south coastal BC - zone 7 - my garlic is ready in July (but scapes are harvested a bit earlier.)

Yes, garlic is very slow... you probably are looking at five or six months to harvest time. You can harvest them earlier, but at that point it will probably be one round bulb, not as big as it will get later and not divided in to cloves.
