I'm thinking you are close to 1-1.5 months early. You'll probably get too much top growth going into winter. Your odds of getting a good crop next year will go way down.
If you aren't available to plant, could you prep everything and just get someone else to plant/cover at a better time? |

I'm going to try. |

It's too early, but probably the worst that will happen is you have frost bitten and deformed tops next spring. Better to plant late than early though. |

Early December (like the first week) would probably still work if the ground isn't frozen. I've planted in November before due to having a wet fall and didn't have any issues. You could always hedge your bets and plant half early and the other half late and lets the chips fall where they may. |

Might could pre dig the area, put the soil in a wheelbarrow and keep it in the garage. Then plant it late. I dont know much about garlic. I just read every thread about it for when I have a garden again. |

Depends on the type of garlic . Do you know what variety it is as there is around a dozen or more varieties ? They are generally divided into 2 groups which dictates the planting season .

All hardnecks, Belarus, Chesnok Red, Music, & Siberian are the 4 that I grow. Planting 1st week of December may be tough, 2nd week could probably be done. I can till now and cover with straw to protect the ground from freezing; although freezing shouldn't be a problem until later December where I'm at (unless we have an unusually cold winter). |

I'm in North Western VA and planted garlic in late Oct, mid Nov and early Dec, all grew great. Some of the early plantings did freeze back a bit. The Dec plantings were in moderately composted horse bedding which kept the soil a little warmer. |
