Yup. Planted garlic around the first of October. Hope I didn't goof as I planted them in my rubber look like whiskey barrels. Around the perimeter. Since they sit at the edge (on the ground) of the back deck which we keep shoveled off they will be nicely buried in snow all winter. I don't think that having little snow is such a good thing. Or perhaps it wasn't the lack of snow but the freeze thaw cycle that did in so many of my peonies and lilies. But again, had I had more snow they wouldn't have been affected. We are also expecting a mild winter like last year.
From -60 Alaska to +100 Virginia. Wahoo
