Thank you very much Ken and Sandy. That makes a lot of sense to me. I figured this was the wrong time of year but since they were sprouting, I decided to separate the cloves and plant them to see what they would do. I will not cut the green top and if they make it until the middle of April, I will just put them in the ground and see if they will come back the next year. I will also plant garlic this fall when it should be planted. Thanks for your input. I really appreciate it.
