Today, I planted my garlic. It had been super warm this past week (77 degrees on November 4!) and then we had a lot of rain, so the conditions were less than ideal for planting garlic. We will have night frosts in the next few days, so I decided to get my garlic in the ground. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

I planted my biggest cloves (24 hardnecks and 32 softnecks). The ground was still damp, and I am a bit worried about rot, so I am leaving the garlic patch uncovered for a couple of days, hoping the sun and wind today and tomorrow will dry it out a little before I cover the garlic.
