So here's a question for those more experienced with garlic. Does it need
to sprout above ground before serious winter sets in? I got mine in the
ground in Sept but we've had several freezes and no sign of green yet.
It's better if it doesn't sprout above ground before freeze up. In my climate, at least, any above ground growth will just die back over the winter anyway. The plants should start over in the spring, so all is not lost if you put them in too early and they do come up this fall; but the energy that went into the fall greens will be lost, and I think you'd get smaller bulbs if they have to put energy into coming up twice.
