Mary Stella, my garlic isn't coming up yet either (except for a few sprouts poking up from the ones I planted inside my hoop house) -- but then, the ground hasn't really thawed out, either. Our snow is gone earlier than usual (well, there's still quite a bit around, but also lots of bare areas), so I "feel" like other things should be happening quicker, too; hard to be patient this time of year!!

The asparagus and garlic are my sure signs of spring!
