I tend to buy the huge sack of garlic bulbs at Costco, so I want the bag to
last all winter. In my experience, by now -- late winter, garlic bulbs will
begin to sprout just as onions and potatoes will. You can plant the garlic
cloves in the garden, pointy side up. Leave about 4-5 inches between
cloves. You will need a full season to get garlic bulbs.
