I think it's supposed to snow at the weekend (Newcastle) but I've heard garlic likes the cold anyway. I've planted some but I'm gonna plant more in Jan.

I was told by an "old boy" you sow on the shortest day of the year (21 Dec) and harvest on the longest day (21 June)  so no you're not too late  :)

Or wait and plant it early Spring if your soil is cold and wet.

If you plant it now it may put out a few roots but you may not see green shoots until Spring.
