I attended a garlic workshop at the Botanical garden and one thing the teacher stressed was never put the garlic in water. Funny, huh? Just break them apart, assure the skin was in tact and plant.I will add some compost cover now. Mine have been in the ground for about a week. We had freezes consistently with the top soil frozen down 2-3" but the last day or two has been in the 40's with rain. Glad to see that as I had planted some lilies, peonies, and of course the garlic late. Now it has stopped so hoping it was just enough to give everyone a drink before settling down to winter. And hope it didn't hurt my garlic. Oh, they are in raised beds about 4" apart. opsss.
