Garlic Shoots

I've just checked and I have garlic shoots already.  Very exciting but is it early?

Ha ha, I'm assuming you're saying no.

The only reason I asked, is because I googled it (as you do) and looking on some blogging sites, their shoots were only slightly bigger in April, and they were talking about them bolting.  I'll be ever so disappointed if they don't work. 

november planted and they are around 5-6 inches tall. they were looking good when I last visited.

  Doesnt matter what the plant is some will worry they are shooting too soon, others will worry they are not shooting at all.

Will they live
Will they die
Will they crop
Will  they bolt

I think I might pose the question on another thread, Why do we panic so much so early in the growing year.
(and most of us do it about something at some point  )

The garlic we planted in October, which a mouse (french ?) pulled up some cloves of and chewed is now about 4 to 6 inches tall.

Why do we panic so much so early in the growing year.

We ask that every year. I suppose this year will be no different, someone has to ask it!

  I can well imagine 

I have already thought that every question has probably been asked in some way, shape or form in the time the site has been going.

Mine were from a donated supermarket garlic bulb; planted 8/2, first showed 23/2, now a couple of inches tall.

Apparently they were originally grown in Spain, so I've learned a few words to try and make them feel more at home:

"Me encanta tu brotes"!

(If it's rude blame Google translator, not me!)

I love your shoots? - what about the bulbs?

Too early and also underground (You're just trying to get me into trouble, aren't you?!!)
