Thats so frustrating when that happens. They will keep growing. I've always planted sets. This year I thought about challenging myself and starting them by seed 😀
Shortly after I planted our garlic, a group of squirrels took it upon themselves to dig them all back up and replant them all over our property. Our homestead should be free of vampires this year, thanks to the helpful squirrels lol As a side note, if you drive a few stakes into the ground to keep the chicken wire elevated about a foot above the garlic, it should deter future snacking from wild life. This time of year is very difficult to keep critters out of the garden since fresh greens aren't as readily available as the spring and summer months. Good luck on your growing journey!
I bet it was that pesky sasquatch again. They can be a real nuisance this time of year. On a more serious note, as incredible as wildlife is, it can be seriously frustrating when they demolish your food crops. I had to build a fortress around my young grape plants since the rabbits love the taste of their leaves and have stripped them completely bare more than once 🐰 Good thing they're cute.
@@TheBackwoodsHermit Well, I hear the squatch is an omnivore who enjoys rabbits as well as garlic greens, so hopefully it’s a problem that resolves itself in due time for the both of us.
@@GrowsGoneWild Sounds like we’re all going to have to go military. Barbed wire, tiny land mines, cameras, and an alarm that sounds in the dead of night when the critters come a-callin’ 😆
@ yes that is very true 🤣. I don’t know about your neck of the woods, but tree netting from Amazon stopped the rats and the squirrels from climbing and eating my figs.

@@LivingOnPrayersOffGrid I wish you the best on starting from seed if you do!

@@storybrookefamilyfarm Great suggestion! I’ll definitely be doing the stake idea next time.

I know the feeling 🤣. Always surprising how they can get into the fortress.

Rabbits
@@Julesbc1234 Do you think chickens could be to blame? We had let them out of the coop and this happened immediately after.
@@miscellaneousmeld be, but they would have to work on it for quite some time.
