How I clean and Store my Elephant Garlic| Grow Your Own Elephant Garlic| Backyard Veg Plot UK|
Today being rather wet, its not really possible to do any outside work in our Back Yard Veg Plot but what I can do inside, Is clean and store our Elephant Garlic (which was planted last November 2023 and lifted on 9th July 2024).
Due to the wet summer I have had some surface white rot on a few bulbs, but these can be rescued by peeling off the outer layer of skin.
I save the 'rounds' and some smaller cloves for re-planting this autumn. The corms can be grown on and in 2-3 years will produce full size bulbs.

@@EssayonsFG thanks Rob
Hogweed, muzz, what's the difference.
@@billskolnik4908 What is muzz?
Nasty stuff. I had phytophotodermatitis from parsnips and that was bad enough!
@@DigwellGreenfingers I think I remember that video Steve 😲
@@cumbrianhomestead Terry king got it bad one time, too. OUCH! It came back for 2 years, every time my arm was "sunbathing"
@@DigwellGreenfingers Yes that's right he did! Hopefully you're all okay now mate 🤞
@@cumbrianhomestead Yes, thanks Woody. But lesson learned, I pulled up my parsnips and carrots wearing a Harrington Jacket! Skinhead gardening at its best PMSL
@@DigwellGreenfingers Now I've got to go look up what a "Harrington jacket" is 😂😂😂
Looks very good even though as you say, your harvest was not as good as last season
@@alisoncrossey6984 There's winners and losers every year on the micro orchard, but this year has been difficult for stone fruits. Thanks for stopping by 🙏👍
I'm so glad to find your channel. It's very nice! I'm also very fond of gardening and nature in general, and your channel helps me with my English too ( I'm from France ). 😊 Thank you
@@juju33879 Thanks so much for your lovely comments 🙏 I'm glad you have found my channel and it is helping you with your English 😃👍 I love France ♥️ Best wishes
Both look healthy.
@@EssayonsFG Thanks Rob 👍
Very good 👌
@@sah.alfa.suteh. Thank you 🙏
Excellent.Might be worth adding that disinfecting your secateurs in surgical spirit/Jeyes, or similar before you start on another tree , helps a bit with disease transmission.
@@tenners3258 Yes that's something I normally do! Thanks for watching 👍👍👍
Hi, I have this from Lidl, thanks for your great review and demonstration, it's great value and seems well made also, I have not used it yet but any day now weather permitting, like you said in the video it's very heavy 😅 hope it doesn't pull me over. 😊
@@stuartpatriciatoyn6857 Hi there Great to hear that you found my review helpful. Yes, it's pretty heavy so make sure to have a few breaks if you've a lot to cut. Hope all goes well, I've got quite a lot to do in winter when the trees are dormant. ATB 👍👍👍
@@cumbrianhomestead hi, thanks for your reply, I used it this afternoon fully extended, worked a treat but boy is it heavy but it cut through the conifer hedge no problem. 👍
Fab harvest Woody 👍👍. You have loads of future elephant garlic there, will you pot them up to wait out their first year or two? Hopefully no big issue with white rot 🤞🤞🤞. Have a super duper weekend, Ali 🌞🥵🇨🇦
@@myrustygarden Hi Ali I usually keep the large rounds and a few smaller cloves for replanting, but will definitely try some of the corms this year too. I went back and cleaned up all the cloves that had some white rot and they came out lovely! Have a great weekend too my friend ♥️
Thanks for the update and how to for the elephant garlic, Woody.
@@EssayonsFG Thanks Rob 👍👍👍
Cheers 🍻🍻
@@BobMelsimpleliving. Cheers Bob 🍻
Thanks for the updates, Woody. Hope the recuperation is going well.
@@EssayonsFG Thanks for your kind words Rob, I am feeling better and hope to give an update on my progress soon. ATB my friend 👍👍👍
Getting some fabulous harvests Woody and nice to share. Get well soon ❤️🩹 take things easy, Ali 🥵🌞🇨🇦 Ps my uchiki look like yours and it’s been insanely hot 🤷♀️
@@myrustygarden Hi Ali Yes, despite the rubbish weather the veg beds are producing very well! It seems like it's a struggle with the uchiki whatever the weather 😂😂 We're hoping for some warmer weather in late summer 🤞🤞🤞🤞☀️☀️☀️ Have a great week ahead ♥️
Take care of yourself mate. 🍻🍻
@@BobMelsimpleliving. Thanks Bob, I feel well and doing my best to take things easy 😉🍻
Sorry to hear you haven't been well. Sending some healing energy your way man 👍
@@rastaralph7154 Thanks mate, that's appreciated 👍👍
What a brilliant set up. I haven't been able to get much done this year with the weather and health. I think the farmers have poisoned most of my asparagus because I only have one out of 12. 💚💛❤️
@@rastaralph7154 Shame about the asparagus mucca 😢
Areet man. I made a video yesterday I think you will be interested in. Don't know if you have heard of it before but check it out and do a bit research if you haven't done it yet. 👍💚💛❤️
A lovely spot to visit.
@@EssayonsFG yes it is Rob, especially through the seasons. ATB my friend 👍
Oh cool, we are not allowed to use phones at all in our cars here it’s totally illegal. Have a super day Woody, Ali ☔️🇨🇦
@@myrustygarden As long as they are not hand held whilst driving we can use phones. In my case it's predominantly used for Google maps. Have a great week ahead Ali ♥️
A good review mate. Do you know if the magnet in the phone case will still allow the phone to be used on a wireless rear charger???
@@MuddyBootz Good question mate; From the instructions it shows that as long as the magnet is placed at the lower end of the phone, wireless charging is enabled. ATB 👍
@@cumbrianhomestead Thanks pal 👍🏻
Thanks for the review, Woody.
@@EssayonsFG You're welcome Rob, it really is a nice bit of kit! ATB 👍
Wishing you a great recovery, Woody. Thanks for sharing the garden tour with us.
@@EssayonsFG Many thanks for your kind words Rob, it's appreciated my friend 🙏👍
Hi Woody. Happy to hear the surgery went well. Take it slow and easy so the recovery goes well.👍👍 Cheers. 🍻🍻
@@BobMelsimpleliving. Hi Bob Well you being a medical man will be spot on with the advice, it's a bit difficult to take things slowly but I know it's the sensible thing to do! Cheers Bob 🍻🍻👍
Yes Woody the recovery period is very important. Take care my friend. I didn't know you know about my medical background.
@@BobMelsimpleliving. Well when we first met on YT you told me you'd been a medic in Vietnam and I never forgot it
Good memory. I actually was a Registered Nurse. Worked in surgery, Emergency Room and Intensive Care. That's more than I tell almost anyone. Take care.
@@BobMelsimpleliving. My eldest son is training to be a operating theatre practitioner
Hi woody glad all went well for you now just take it steady and please be careful, garden looks lovely as ever
@@billvalsallotments5915 Taking things steady is the challenge! But my wife is keeping her eye on me 😂😂 Thanks for your kind words 🙏🙏
Wishing you a speedy recovery mate 😊. Crops look in first class condition 👌
@@MuddyBootz Thanks mate, much appreciated 👍👍
Sometime rain saves the day. Glad it rained to take care of the garden while you were out of action. It's good to see you back in the garden again.
@@kath-phlox Hi Kath Yes you're right about that, in fact we had some huge downpours yesterday Evening. Thanks for your kind words ♥️
Glad you’re ok and back home. WOW blueberry 🫐 galore Woody. Hey it’s sunny and hot here but my squash aren’t any better here. I’ve sown some bush beans again today the previous ones are not liking the heat 🥵 but then neither am I. Stunning tree lily Woody and yes they smell absolutely amazing. Tree lilies go 1st year 3’ 2nd year 4’ and 🎉🎉 3rd year over 6’ they are literally a tree and I love them. Great haul on elephant garlic. Have a great week Woody take it easy, Ali 🌞32c🥵🇨🇦
@@myrustygarden Hi Ali The blueberries are looking great ( and I did go back for that handful Lol). Weird how your squash are struggling but I guess it's maybe about optimal temperatures 🤔. I wish we had space for more tree lollies, they are truly stunning! Have a great week too and stay cool 😎 ♥️
Glad your op went well mate, I'm not looking forward to mine 🤪
@@lyonheart84 Completely understand Brett, I'm glad it's done though ( it got cancelled the first time). Fingers crossed for you mate 🤞🤞🤞
Van looks great Woody. I've seen your latest video is out although i haven't watched it yet so i know you're surgery went fine 👍. I'm also waiting for major surgery so I've stopped making videos entirely as i just didn't feel like it. I think my recovery could be several weeks if all goes well so lets see 🤞
@@lyonheart84 Hi Brett Yes, very pleased with the van so far and hoping to get it completed this year 🤞🤞🤞 Surgery went well, but like you I am going to have to take things very carefully for several weeks and I've got a review with the surgeon in August. I wish you all the best for your surgery and recovery my friend, take care. ATB 👍👍👍
Brilliant to see you back on your feet. There's no better therapy than a garden when you are convalesing. Just don't try and do too much too soon. Wish my cabbages looked so good:)
@@andrewwhitehead2002 Hi Andrew Absolutely right, gardens are amongst the best therapy! It's not easy to restrict the level of activity I'm used to but needs must. Those summer cabbage are excellent, they've loved the cool, damp conditions. Btw, I saw a photo of the polycrub, it's looking great 😃👍 ATB 👍👍👍
i grew a kiwi plant on the orchard fot 7 year. it never flowered once..................brian
@@briansgardenandpolytunnel8172 I had a lot of fruit last year, there were flowers this year but no pollinators 😢 ATB Brian 👍👍👍
Get well soon buddy. I hope the Mrs doesn't do too good a job, or you will be out of one LOL
@@DigwellGreenfingers 😂😂😂😂 Got to give her credit mate as normally the veg garden is said to be "your stuff"! Cheers Steve 👍🍻
thanks God for quick recovery. your garden is doing very well
@@DamsLifestyle Thanks so much for your kind words 🙏♥️
Say goodbye to your small birds if he hangs around. One gave us a visit and now we have no bluetits left in our garden.
@@wolfieevans7023 Yes I don't doubt it ; that's what they do
@@wolfieevans7023 I don't doubt it, that's what they do after all. We often see them scouting around the neighborhood. Thanks for watching 👍👍👍
Good luck Woody, I hope they gave you the slot and that you're now (this is several days later I think) are on the road to recovery. Your plants under the netting look great! I've grown quite a bit in the greenhouse this year as well as outside so had some nice beetroot, and even lettuce (it's been quite cold and very wet): The stuff in the open garden is just getting mauled by the slugs. Did have a good strawberry harvest though! Thinking of you, fingers crossed :)
@@helengauperaa4319 Hi Helen You are correct; I'm now recovering at home and it will be a while probably, but all going well so far 🤞 I've just taken the net off my summer cabbage as we've hardly seen any cabbage whites the entire time and even if they come this week, the plants will be ready to harvest before much damage could be done. Nice to hear you're maxing things out in the greenhouse 😉👌 Also great to hear about the strawberries 😋 Thanks for your thoughts ♥️
@@cumbrianhomestead That's good to hear :) I hope you're back on your feet soon <3 If the slugs hadn't have got my cabbages (Nemaslug has been taken off the market here in Norway until they approve the new nematode!!!) then my cabbages would have been the best I'd ever grown! No cabbage root fly, or caterpillars so far! But sadly they are rather lacy :D You take care and I'll look out for you
Hope all goes well for the surgery, fingers crossed for a fast recovery... See you soon when you're recovered.
@@kath-phlox Thanks Kath, that's most appreciated 🙏 I'm actually home now and taking things one day at a time. Best wishes ♥️
Speedy recovery Woody! (PS Here in Northern Europe coriander bolts very easily in the summer, however it does really well from late summer through to late spring. The very best (by that I mean tastiest) harvests (and parsley too) comes from the slowest growing plants in the greenhouse during winter.)
@@GordonjSmith1 thanks Gordon, I just got home half an hour ago but got to take things easy for quite a while. Great tips on the coriander and parsley! ATB my friend 👍👍👍
Yep, it has been a challenge this year!
@@DigwellGreenfingers So true mate!
what do you do with the un ripse apples . could you make vinagar ? if you dont already . look into makeing sauerkraut its just 2g of salt per 100g of vegetables and you can use anything not just cabbage i mix all sorts together into 1l jars 1000g veg 20g salt . mix up and jar . few weeks . taste like gold and you can leave it 6 months and take into the dark winter then and take your veg a long long way cabbage carrot leek beetroot and alittle apple and ginger with cumin and garlic is a nice mix lol if you try it just youtube the smaller details of how to do it
@@whitevoodooman7276 I usually give the apple thinnings to small holders for their pigs/ sheep/ goats. I made some sauerkraut last year and it was really nice, so thanks for your recipes, much appreciated 👍🙏
protein and fats and animal products are the root cause of nearly all health problems ive turned vegan . ive turned %50 fruit and then veg with starches beans peas tubers and all sorts fiber carbs and sugar , yes sugar lol extremely healthy look at black strap molasses. maple syrup and tons of fresh fruits and soaked re hydrated dried fruits like dates and figs and raisins id love to grow my own stuff like you one day i dream of doing so keep growing were spirit not human and the main thing we come here to learn and exsperience is the way we eat animals . many of us dont dont and wake up to this emotion of what we do when we go tesco and buy a some bacon and steaks for the week but when you return to spirit . youall know and reilize excatly what iam saying we need to wake up anyone struggling woth health problems . look into acidic/ alkiline foods and the concept of the human body being to acidic from your animal products x
Thanks for the updates, Woody. Always nice seeing the gardens and micro orchard. Nice look at the van upgrades too.
@@EssayonsFG Thanks Rob 👍
Hope all goes well with the surgery. 🙏🙏 Cheers🍺🍺
@@BobMelsimpleliving. Thanks Bob I appreciate that my friend 🍻
the fact that you can't rech the fruit at the top of the tree is the reason i'm keeping my trees to about six foot, woody.......................brian
@@briansgardenandpolytunnel8172 Lol 😂😂 You're right about that Brian, I just didn't get my pole saw in time! ATB mate 👍👍👍
a lot of the abnormalities in growth is often down to the compost we use and the watering regime we adopt, woody................brian

Nice one Woody! Have a great week up there.

Hi Woody. It’s not better here with us. 9 degree C this morning. Rain, rain, wind and more wind. May was our summer this year, since then it has been awful. Not a year for outdoor tomatoes……
Van looks cool 😎 and should be awesome
