I would normally say yes bung it in as it needs a bit of cold to make the bulb devide. But think at the mo it is just too cold and wet for it to start and it would just rot IMO.
Don't panic tho cos i have left it as late as mid march to plant and still had decent garlic.
See what the others think...................
