Garlic, first sign of spring

Green things are sprouting! We planted this garlic last fall, once all the kale and carrots previously in the bucket died off from the cold. (More accurately, we harvested all of the kale, and the carrots ended up freezing in the dirt so we couldn't even get them out. Once the ground had thawed a bit, we found buried columns of used-to-be-carrot mush.) It was so great to finally see something growing out of the soil in March, and they are growing quickly!
