Last week, as the snowpack retreated in the backyard, and warm days despite frigid nights, triggered inch or two tall garlic sprouts to make themselves known. After 5 or so days exposed, including 2 nights of lows around 13 degrees, the outermost leaves seem to be damaged, yet still growing. I'm going to mulch a little deeper on most of the 2 beds, but I do fear that this store-bought garlic-- Christopher Ranch @La Montanita-- while eagerly fertile, may be growing a little to early for Gallup's highly contrasting diurnal shift in temperature, emblematic of the dry, high Colorado Plateau; hopefully I'm wrong.
