Hi
I planted my garlics about 4 weeks ago but I still can't see the shoots. Last year they seemed to appear within days of planting! I did plant them slightly deeper this year as last year some were dug up by the birds. I'm a bit concerned as they felt slightly soft when I planted them - although I bought special bulbs from the garden centre I left them in the house to remind me to plant them - I probably should have kept them in the shed!
I had a rummage a couple of days ago and they seem to have taken root as I couldn't pull them up easily so I have left them there and am keeping my fingers crossed!
If they were slightly soft when I planted them have I just wasted my time?

Don t worry mine have been in for 6weeks now and are still not showing. I believ e they want the frost to start them growing . Last year winter was very cold and mine were 3 inches high in january. There is still plenty of time for them to grow.
Mine has been awol for over two months. Doubt they will show.
Mine are showing, I got a bit confused and put them in the fridge for 2 weeks before planting them.

I planted garlic for the first time, at the end of October. I wasn't sure so I planted some in the garden and some in the greenhouse (cold). Most are showing shoots about 2-6 inches, the greenhouse ones started first.
