Garlic is up!

The garlic I planted last October is shooting up after the big rain we had yesterday:


This is a softneck garlic, called "Chinese Pink." I got the bulbs from Territorial Seed--a great company.

This is a very early garlic that should be ready to harvest by May. After I dig it up, that section of the garden will be available for other vegetables--most likely tomatoes. You can never have too many tomato plants!
