When do you start watering, fertilizing and how much? Anything else specific I should know for a first timer?I'm in Santa Fe, NM, zone 5a, high desert, 6550 elevation, frost dates Oct 15 and May 15 (which very often can be June 15).

I like to shred the leaves first so that they don't get matted and make it difficult for the garlic to grow through next spring.

I've seen it sold like that on some sites and thought i'd get an idea for garden size. Did I ruin this years planting? I made an oops, I just seperated my garlic for this falls planting.

How thick was your layer of shredded leaves? They should be able to grow right through that without even removing them. If the mulch is very thick or matted it should probably be removed by the beginning of March. Take a look and see if you can find any sign of the garlic plants under the mulch because they should be growing by now.

Sounds like you put them in a little too early but they should be fine. Just mulch the plants with a layer of shredded leaves or straw if you haven't done so already and just let them be until spring when they will resume their growth.
