Garlic Planted; CHECK!

I might be a bit late this year but it hasn't been very cold yet (just two minor frosts; my tomato plants still weren't dead when I pulled them today but the beans and peppers were) so I think they will be fine. I planted 54 garlic bulbs; Kettle River Giants, plus 3 shallots and 3 Elephant garlic bulbs. I will cover them with 6-8 inches of pine needles when it gets colder.
