    Yes. Although your garlic is slightly past its prime, it is still perfectly safe and edible. Just remove the green sprout and any other discolored matter.

    yeah, should be fine. Happened to me before, I just cut off the sprouts and I did not notice anything different tasting.

    Do you mean you've kept it that long that there's a tree inside of your garlic now? Dude throw it away, you don't want to take your chances on that.
