I too relish a good experiment, and I have planted spring garlic in zone 4 @ 6500' altitude -- with the same results as you see. In this way we find out what parts of growing are governed by natural systems and what rules & regs are just human habit. Today I'll set my thought to  remember what some of my more successful experiments were and get back to you.  :-) I appreciate the way you share your growing experiences, as if they were among the most interesting things in the world, which they are!

I did a similar experiment this year with carrots when we moved in August and had similar results. I decided with the carrots that they were fine for home use but not market worthy. I always like throwing caution to the wind and trying odd things like this. To me this is the best way to find new techniques. You never know until you try. -Nathan Do you have any pictures of what the finished product looked like?
