Katie, that’s a good idea — I’ve always been loathe to pull my garlic early, but I think I’m going to do that this time around, at least with a couple of them.

Give them another week or two – then pull and eat…Green Garlic!!! I love it.
Happy Spring!

Michelle, here’s hoping. Everything did finally turn green today, so there’s hope!

Woohoo! So glad to see something green sprouting up there. Maybe spring has finally come to Iowa!

Matron, that’s very strange — does it grow other places in your zone?

I don’t have much luck with garlic. I try it every year, different methods, different planting times, different soil. It never works for me! hmmm

I’ve never heard of growing it in a pot. Something new to try!
Happy GTS,

Nancy, I’d love to hear how that garlic turns out — if it actually works in the pot. That’s a very interesting experiment!

How wonderful to see those green shoots! I actually grew some garlic in a pot over the winter — we snipped the tender shoots to include in salads and such. Hopefully, it’ll produce a head. It’s been more a fun experiment than garden project, I guess. :)
