This is how my garlic bed was looking yesterday. There is a little bit of frost damage on the outer leaves but good new growth emanating from their centre (sounds pretty new age, but its true.)
The goal with garlic this time of year is to try to get them to grow as much green tops as possible before they start bulbing, the bigger the tops, the bigger the bulbs, so this is the best time to fertilize with a high N goody, like compost or manure (I did both.)
When garlic starts bulbing is determined by the variety you grew, so its always good to try to grow local garlic, as its already proven itself to succeed in your area
