I wondered if I had planted the garlic too deep. The Music (hardneck) garlic cloves were gargantuan, so I planted them 4 inches deep. They did not emerge during the fall, like they usually do. I had the covered with tree leaves, so I pulled the leaves aside to expose the ground to the sun. I noticed over the last week that all of the Music garlic is up now. So I feel much more confidant about that now.
Th Lorz (softneck) are further behind. For some reason, one row is up and the other two are not. Or did I plant an extra row of Music garlic there? Last winter, Lorz waited much longer to emerge, so that variety must be slower anyway.
I scattered slug bait on the rows. Slugs can do a job on garlic, and onions, this time of year. I also scattered eggshells for the calcium and nitrogen benefits.
Some of the daffys are also emerging through their mulch.
