Garlic

The garlic I planted back in October has started to sprout. Of course, just in time for the cold snap we've had for the last week. Some are already two inches high, but most are just poking through the surface. I planted more this year (20?) than I have in the past hoping for a great crop next year. Last year's crop didn't fare too well and we only had a week or two of garlic before we had to start buying from the store again. It looks like all have not sprouted, but I'm hoping this is just because of temps and planting rather than squirrels running off with the cloves. I actually laid chicken wire down on the bed to prevent squirrels from digging them up as they have a tendency to do.
