Hi all,

I am pretty new to gardening, and I planted garlic last fall, it has taken off! However, my plan was to companion plant tomatoes between the garlic, but the garlic is so large it will affect the growth of my tomatoes, any suggestions? I was thinking about cutting the leaves.  
P.s. the garlic is hard neck, as I am in a cold climate (Canada)

I wouldn’t cut any leaves. Plants need them. What about using a container or pot for the tomatoes? I don’t think there’s enough room in your raised bed to add anything else.
