G...I'm not dead! ;^) Just crazy, crazy busy. Gotta be sure to check in with you now and again no matter how nuts life gets. =) <br />I'm sure your garlic will be fine. I planted some last year that sprouted and did fine all winter even under heavy snow. My problems came in the spring with it being too wet and getting fungal diseases... not that you have to worry about that. <br />I agree with Stef about making the early bird carry the pot in and out of the house! ;^)Grain Damagedhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03354726752379607095noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4930778534030920874.post-46915257740179588692009-11-06T19:37:49.082-05:002009-11-06T19:37:49.082-05:00Me again!

No, they don't need sun during the winter, but they do need a good layer of mulch to help prevent freeze and thawing that happens over the winter into spring as the temperature fluctuates. The mulch not only protect the garlic from long term freezing temperatures, but it helps keeps the soil at a uniform temperature so frost can push the garlic out of the ground and tear the new roots.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01129119492962711399noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4930778534030920874.post-55526987384020402962009-11-06T06:57:58.523-05:002009-11-06T06:57:58.523-05:00Congrats on your sprouts! I agree with Amy, they ...Congrats on your sprouts! I agree with Amy, they should be fine. I start my garlic, shallots, onions and leeks in the fall up here in VA and they do fine through the winter. I don't mulch the raised beds, but they are interplanted with pansies and swiss chard just for "prettiness", I am sure it has an added benefit where the wind is concerned, but last year I didn't even do that and they were fine. Good luck! I find that by planting them in the fall it gives them a head start and they are ready to be pulled in time to replace them with peas in the spring, rather than having to wait until May to harvest like some do.Erinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06916896512933101955noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4930778534030920874.post-87603202386422411182009-11-05T23:33:00.634-05:002009-11-05T23:33:00.634-05:00I think your garlic should be fine.

My garlic poked up through the mulch and seemed fine all winter.Amyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13306754150860679811noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4930778534030920874.post-51633984556741451002009-11-05T23:08:06.784-05:002009-11-05T23:08:06.784-05:00I'm so sorry about the sleep changes!

If mine only would GO to sleep, then I could worry about my garlic.<br /><br />Can you put the deck container inside at night and out in the morning? Better yet, let Miss Earlybird do it! : )<br /><br />It will be interesting to see how the garlic growing goes.Stefaneenerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08422241601075022500noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4930778534030920874.post-10965938775506349982009-11-05T22:31:45.191-05:002009-11-05T22:31:45.191-05:00I figured garlic was very hardy like onions.

Yours will do fine over the winter. The ones I planted last season broke ground in the fall and lived uncovered all winter long. They took 12" of snow at a time, thaw cycles followed by -4f. Tough suckers they are!Danhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07743102355360873845noreply@blogger.com
