Nice pictures, Sari. Your garlic looks real good. You have come a long way with your garlic, and, I know you want to protect them from the freezing temperatures at this point. Hopefully your temperatures will even out soon so you can get them all planted. My fall planted garlic started to sprout up a three weeks back when the tempoeratures rose up into the seventies. We then dropped down to single digits and had snow on top of that for three days..The garlic pulled through just fine with no damage to the tops.. The roots were already established by that time ..
What varieties of hardneck and softneck garlic are you growing?
A number of years back we tried spring planting garlic and it was a bust for us.. We tried it for a couple years, but, to no success. To be honest, we neglected the garlic beds. It was so hard to keep up with the weeds and the heat.. Now we order good size bulbs from a reliable source, and plant in the fall. It works better for us..So far so good.
Good luck with your gardens.. I look forward to more pictures and updates.
