So I actually planted garlic before winter this year but now they are sprouting. Is this a bad thing or is it normal? Last year I left the bulbs in ground for the scapes to dry and transplanted them December 7. They had already sprouted and died down after the transplant. Only 2/3 made it though winter and the rest hard a hard time coming up due to the dried leaves from the year before. Any advice?
Also when do you guys plant garlic?

Some sprouting shouldn't be a problem. I've been working out when to plant mine for the last few years. For my garden,here in Maine, the first week of October seems to be about right for the varieties I grow. That said, I haven't dropped my cloves yet.  I'm only a month and a half late. |

I managed to get mine in about a week ago. We had a warm spell this fall, so I told myself I had an excuse for procrastinating.  |

Always plant mine early autumn as i like to have them well established before the cold kicks in

Well I'm glad to hear that is not that uncommon. I just hope they all make it. Also the TGS was transplanted along with them. They had not died down. So hopefully they will go ok as well.
