Hi, I planted my garlic in November. We’ve had a mild winter & now my garlic is sprouting in March in Ontario, Canada. Should I cut the green sprouts off or just leave them?

Hi Anne, You certainly can hold the garlic until spring, but it’s only mid-Nov so I would go ahead and plant now if you can. I haven’t planted my garlic yet but will do so this coming week (and it’s been quite frosty in Nova Scotia). The cloves will still set roots this late in the season. Hope this helps! – Niki

Thank you! My garlic arrived a month late and 2 days before the ice/snow storm. Rain/snow days seem to be on the calendar this month for us so no chance for planting. I live in Northwestern Ontario and the ice and snow have never left us since the first storm. In my many years of raising garlic, this is a first for me and all I could think is hold and plant in early spring. Was checking it out online when I found your site and you have given me confidence that this might just work!

Hi Melissa.. don’t wait! Get the cloves in the ground now. It’s not too late. I haven’t planted mine either and I’m in zone 5. I often plant it in November. You’ve still got time and your crop will be far better for it. Good luck! – Niki

I received my garlic too late this fall (it’s supposed to frost next week.) How do I keep the cloves over the winter to be ready to plant next spring?

I planted my garlic in the spring and they are still quite small can I leave them in the ground and harvest next year or do I have to harvest them now?

OMG, I am so happy that I read this, because I planted only about 16 cloves in December and I still have tons of garlic that I can plant, but now it is already March. So since I kept all my garlic bulbs outside on -10C, they are already vernalized and ready to plant now. So happy I found this website.
