I think that these should still survive and be ready for spring planting.

There is total of 160 cloves of three hardneck and two softneck varieties. I planted these same varieties and some others in ground in last October. It will be nice to compare which grow better, the fall or spring planted ones. I hope that the cold treatment I am giving them this way is sufficient for the clove formation.
