Behind each metal pole is a row of garlic and as you can see there's not too many plants there. As you may recall I planted this garlic in the fall, and as it's done great in the past. They've poked through before the cold sets in, at which time I cover with a nice think layer of compost. This has worked just fine in the past, however, and I'm guessing this past winter was just too cold and too much on these dudes as we've lost well over half of what I planted. The dozen or so plants that did make it are doing fine and hopefully will provide us with enough to get by - we'll see.
