We planted garlic in pots on the back deck before the garden beds were finished. We have tasmanian garlic and some winter devil frot garlic.
The Tasmanian garlic is growing fine as of today, it started showing in January, despite the cold and the frost, and today it’s about 7″ high.
The Devil Frost garlic was much slower to start growing, and it didn’t show above ground until late February. Today it’s about 4″ high.
