planted garlic too early... what should I do?

14 years ago

I planted my garlic about 3-4 weeks to early this year. I now know that this should be planted after the first light frost - and that the shoots should not be coming up before the ground freezes.

So - I know have garlic that has shoots 3-5" tall... What issues will I have next year? Will this crop work at all?

Should I dig up and replant new rows?

Thank you.
