    Hi All,

    I go my garlic bed cleared out and replaced with organic
    local top soil. And I got my garlic in. I watered
    them in but good.

    Question: How often should I be watering them through
    the winter with this cold weather?

    it depends upon how much rains/snows you get and
    if it gets dry otherwise. pretty much just don't let
    it dry out completely, but that should be a challenge
    if it is planted deeply enough and the soil holds some
    moisture. you don't want it to rot and you don't want
    it to go bone dry down deep enough that the roots die
    off and they have to regrow for spring.

    if you watered them in that might be enough until
    spring - it just depends upon what you get for rains
    and snow cover.
