How is everyone's garlic doing, and what varieties are you growing? I planted mine on 10/31, and as of today (12/13) about 90% of it has leafed out. The remaining 10% is all visible above the mulch, just hasn't leafed out yet. What I'm growing:
Creoles - Ajo Rojo, Burgundy, Creole Red, Cuban Purple, Labera Purple, Pescadero Red, Spanish Benitee
Asiatic/Turban - Asian Tempest, Korean Red, Red Janice, Wonha
Artichoke - Inchelium Red, Italian Purple, Simoneti
Marbled Purple Stripe - Metechi
That's around 140 plants. I started to plant two beds, but decided that was a bit excessive.
Plus, that would be one less bed I'd have available in the spring for tomatoes. I did make a detailed map, in case something happens to the plant markers separating each variety.
