Garlic

I planted a little garlic a week or so ago - guess I need to check on it eventually and see if it's sprouted. How long does it take?

if it got watered in when it was planted there will likely be some roots on the bottom and green growing from the top already. the garlic here starts regrowing towards the end of summer from the bulbs that formed during the previous growing season if they're left in the ground.

Wondering if you have seen any green from your garlic yet? I had forgotten that I planted a few in a raised bed off the deck and was going to turn it yesterday, and I found them. They have about 2 inches of green coming out the top but haven't pushed through the soil yet.

Anyone--what do you do with garlic scapes? I had gotten some from the CSA last year and pickled them but haven't used any yet. AND do all garlic plants get them and when do you harvest? I planted a hard neck variety (again from the CSA)

I haven't checked them yet. TY for the reminder!
