| I was lulled by the long Indian Summer into waiting to put my garlic in the ground. Is it a waste of time at this point? Here's the forecast: |

| Go for it! You still have time...so long as the ground isn't frozen. |

| I just finished planting mine here this afternoon... I still have some elephant cloves that I will find some room for somewhere. As long as the ground isn't frozen you should be fine. |

| no, i planted mine yesterday. columbus day is the day to plant, supposedly to allow root growth to anchor the clove against heaving as the ground freezes and thaws. i was told by a couple of vermonters last month that they planted in mid december and had no problems. they are 1/2 up the state so if they did that i really question this columbus day thing. tom |

| I just planted mine and do not know if it requires immediate watering. My husband says no, lets be cautious, I say, everything needs water after you plant it. What should we do? thanks!! |

| It needs moist, not wet, conditions to sprout. I say don't water it. The next rain will be plenty. |

| I've never watered when planting. I think it will be more important to water next spring unless you get sufficient moisture. Garlic knows when to sprout and since you're in Vermont, you'll no doubt have a snow cover. Hubby is right. Ouch, that hurts to say, LOL! :) |
