Keep an eye on the garlic after it has been planted. As bulbs of garlic form in the ground, thin green leaves sprout through the dirt.

Check the size of the garlic bulbs when the leaves are about 1/3 brown.
Shallots and garlic are planted in October in the Northwest and in the southern states are planted in November through January. Garlic is extremely winter hardy and will over-winter down to zone 3. Plant the cloves 6-8 inches apart and cover with 1-2 inches of soil.Water only sparingly to keep the soil from being bone dry.
