HELP!! garlic sprouted, now what?

[mener6896]

I'm in frozen Indiana (zone 6) and I thought I would try planting garlic. I searched everywhere and all seed catalogues were all sold out. Just for fun, I planted the garlic I bought at Sam's club, I knew it probably wasn't a good variety, and certainly not planting garlic. But it sprouted within 4 days!! I was hoping it was a stiff neck variety.

Now that it's sprouted, I'm not sure what to do now. do I continue to grow in the little biodegradeable pots they are in indoors? We seriously have like 6" of snow on the ground.

I was going to have my garlic in a raised bed, should I buy dirt to put it in and move them outside?

I also posted this on the Easy Garden website, but I think more people are on here. I'm trying to find something to do other than stare at my eggs that are hatching!!

Hmmm.... I planted garlic for the first time this fall. I put mine directly in the garden beds. They say (in our area) to plant them in the fall and they'll sprout in the spring. I'm not sure what you should do with yours since they're sprouted. I'd say try to wait till spring and then transplant them. That's just a guess though.

keep them where they are for another three weeks or so then transplant to a larger pot.
water and feed like normal.
