Re: Garlic SFG
I did manage to pull out a weed and some grass the other day, and believe me, I'm still paying for that and other garden efforts.
I also added some homemade, screened compost, but I need to sift a bit more. The total probably won't come to 6", though. Should I add some leaf mold? We should be getting a couple of warmer days, plus abundant rain, later this week.

Re: Garlic SFG
Moldy leaves or finished leaf mold? Garlic is an over-winter crop that I don't see why you couldn't.
Anyone else?

Finished leaf mold from the bottom of a small pile that had been in place for a couple of years.

How cold does it get there, Donna? I mean if it’s warm and the days are long enough it might grow the whole time…here it just puts down roots.

Re: Garlic SFG
Supposedly, I'm in Zone 6b. Most gardeners here plan and plant for zones 4-5. The lowest temps I've seen here were -25F in 2013, although it rarely goes below -10 in recent years.
I'm primarily concerned that the ground may freeze. It was pretty firm the other day.

I am no expert (see my questions in this thread lol) I am in CT and we had some warm days so I put them in and covered them with leaves.
What could it hurt to try? I think they just need a little warmth to get acclimated and will pop up in the spring/late winter.
Same as planting flower bulbs yes?
