Growing garlic for the first time

Nothing wrong with those Can. I intentionally grew garlic for the first time last year (other years the unintentional garlic was only a small weak self perpetuating clump I had no idea where it came from). I made the mistake of planting the cloves in the spring and they didn't get a good period of cold so didn't divide. This year, like you, I planted some of last years Casablanca cloves that were trying to sprout 2 or 3 weeks ago and they look very similar to yours. I think we're both winners here.
