   Last year we put up a hoop house over my wife's garlic row. This was a plastic   
   sheet over seven plastic hoops anchored to the ground with sections of rebar.   
   The whole thing was about 24 feet long, 4 feet wide, and about 2 feet high at   
   the high point in    
   the middle of the hoops. The garlic grew under there, undisturbed for the   
   winter. We live in Maryland, north of Baltimore and a few miles in from   
   Chesapeake Bay. We had a mild winter but there were a few freezing periods and   
   some snow flurries.   
      
   We uncovered the hoop house a couple of weeks ago and the garlic were growing   
   very well. She's harvested much of it and has it on the drying rack at the   
   moment.
