I saw a sprout on one of my garlic cloves and figured why not plant it? What have I got to loose? So I did and it is sprouting! I have it on my media tower right now, it doesn't get sun there bc I didn't know if it needed it in the whole sprouting process. It isn't particularly dark in that area during the day though. I have it in a peat pot and am keeping it watered - damp but not soaked. My question is should I put it in a sunny window? We're in Texas near Houston and our temps are still in the high 90s most days. I thought I read somewhere garlic prefers cooler temps so I planned on keeping indoors for a couple of months until it starts cooling down. Another question is, should I plant it in a pot or put it in the ground? How big will it get if I can manage to keep it alive? Should I give it a little fertilizer in about 6 weeks?

Ok, maybe thats a few more than 1 question! :)
