Our fall crop of garlic was well-established, so back in February I decided to do a second planting of garlic, and I thought I’d try some shallots too. There were a few funny plants in the back yard when we moved in that seemed to keep coming back, and I dug them up, and one turned out to be a garlic plant. So I bought a couple heads of garlic and some shallots at Madison Market, and I also planted the volunteer garlic cloves. The volunteer garlic came up immediately and began to grow leaves. However, it took almost two months for the store-bought ones to sprout, but they have finally started coming up.
