CherryPie	Posted - Oct 15 2009 : 5:36:24 PM I took a chance last spring and planted garlic bulbs, hoping they would get big enough by fall for harvest. Sadly, they are still puny. Do you think if I chopped off the green tops that they would overwinter and be ready to harvest in the spring, like a normal planting of garlic? Or should I just harvest the puny ones and replant?
