Dan,

Normally garlic is harvested in the first year when 4 to 6 leaves from the bottom turn brown. If that is from last year then I am assuming that the plant has been in the ground for well over a year, not sure what the bulb will look like or if it will be usable.

I plan on planting more stuff in this bed later, however it is still too cold for most things here. I put them in their current location because that was the only spots I had open last year.

(i'm tripling my garden space, if not more this year )
