I'm sure they'll be quite happy to share space with other plants.

I did that one year and they were great. I usually get spring planting garlic, may well try autumn planting this year.

I spent a bit of time this morning (April 1st) transplanting my toilet-roll garlic to larger accommodations as their roots were sprawling out from under the rolls and all over the seed tray.
Its tool cold here still for any outdoor planting, so they are spread across two earth boxes and will be sharing space with tomato plants.
They are 8"-12" and very vigorous. I'm glad I got these in for an jump start. The next batch (and onions) will be living in the strawberry bed with the next week.

Giving them a head start before you put them in I fine is much better, and you get far more of a crop and bigger too.

They'll be soft next year. If you can get them in a pot now that would be great. When the weather gets too cold, then continue growing in the greenhouse. They won't grow that big, but it's better than throwing them away.

(ran out of room) So thanks for the tip on the toilet rolls. That made transplanting less traumatic for the garlic and nice to get the early start. Outdoors is still chilly and the ground temps in the 30s. We had a touch of 50 degree temps here yesterday, but that was short lived. Woke up to a dusting of snow on the ground.

It's April the snow should be finished. Saying that last year 6th April we had about 6inch snow. Only lasted a few days, but that's unheard of.
