When should garlic cloves sprout?

Garlic (Allium Sativum)    None Given

I planted a few garlic cloves for the first time in the Fall and I am eagerly awaiting them sprouting in the spring. How quickly does garlic tend to emerge? Is there any chance that a cold wet winter could have damaged them?

In my New Hampshire garden garlic comes up with the quackgrass (earliest of all). If you buried the cloves about 2" deep in well-drained soil and mulched them well with 2"-4" of leaves, straw, hay, or pine needles, the winter shouldn't have damaged them.

In central florida my garlic is already sprouted and about 16 inches tall. I drop mine 2 inches into soil and then do a light bit of mulch in a raised bed. It works real well and you don't have to provide much care to get good results.
