Hi,
I planted garlic a few days ago and can see that one is already sprouted. Is this normal? I thought they didn't do this until like Spring? I really don't know though cause I am a 1st time grower. Any help appreciated. Thx

I think dustyriver will be giving James ( jal-ut) a little competition.
Punkrotten, This is not a ton, but a reachable goal for you.

Some onion varieties grow as tall as garlic. Depends on the garlic and or onions.DeborahL wrote:Wow ! I didn't know the greens grow so large ! Same with onions, I would imagine.
This is Copra, a long storage type. 2011

I grew two types last year but the bulk of what I grew was Inchelium Red that is what I am holding. An excellent tasting garlic they grow big and love it here in Arizona the only draw back to them is there a harder garlic to peel than other variety's. What I love about Inchelium Red is they mature earlier than a lot of other variety's that I have tried. I can harvest them around memorial day then I plant my tomatoes the next day there is almost always something growing in my plots...and the Inchelium Red is all I planted this year.

That's a ton of garlic! Somebody forgot to put some veggies in the fridge so I put them in a metal box in my room because mom didn't want to use them since they were left out all day. One was a garlic and it sprouted. I don't know what kind it is but I'm going to plant it.
How long do I need to let it grow before I dig it up?

Update on my garlic.
I noticed my Muscovy ducks over on my raised garlic bed. I was think that can't be good. I checked on the bed and found little garlic tips poking out of the mulch.
I didn't notice any damage, but I did put one of my low tunnels over and covered with Reemay.

The plant (s) on the left is a perfect example of a garlic left in the ground. Each clove will sprout the following season.GardenGnome wrote:Wow nice pics what happens if garlic is left in the ground. And never pulled?
