We have just a bit of USDA organic seed garlic left this season, grab it while it's still in stock: shop.epicgardening.com/collections/garlic
What about this idea of 'interplanting garlic' with other crops to deter certain pests?
@@Ms.Byrd68it works! Deer must dislike garlic because the beds I had companion planted with strawberries were the only beds they left the strawberries alone
@@user-rq1im5kz2j Was the 'Garlic' okay to harvest?
Variant I wanted out of stock 💔. Guess you snooze, you lose
If you want some shandong garlic i have like 1 pound of it left and like 1/4 pound of Chesnok red@@RealDarkBlade
"Everything you need to know?" I need to know what time you're coming over to plant mine.
Bruh you made a RUclips account right when RUclips came out
Mine too. Here in Ireland☘️
Classic, I know right
He's not. So, that answers that question.
Chicken Little !!!!!!
In the Netherlands we have a beautiful rule of thumb for garlic 10-10-10-10, meaning plant on the tenth of october 10cm deep and 10cm apart from one another
❤❤❤
Yes I plant them about 4” which is close to 10 cm. In Canada
In a garden so smelly, not far from the town,
Grew garlic so strong, it could knock you right down!
The gardener was proud, with a grin ear to ear,
"Come visit my garlic!" he'd shout far and near.
People would come, but they'd quickly retreat,
The smell of the garlic knocked them off their feet!
But the gardener just laughed, "It's the scent of success!"
While munching on garlic, in his garlic-pressed dress.
He'd dance through his rows, with a garlic bulb crown,
Singing, "Garlic's the king, it will never back down!"
His garden grew famous, a smelly delight,
Even vampires stayed far, flying off in the night!
So here's to the garden, where garlic's the star,
So potent and pungent, you could smell it from afar.
It might not be roses, but to the gardener's part,
The smell of strong garlic was the scent of his heart!
Yay! ❤
❤ well done Limerick guy!
Thank you sir. Also, thank you to the ones behind the cameras and keyboards. I appreciate all of you. 👍💪🙏
Appreciate you showing love to our talented production team - Kevin
I agree this channel has really helped me in the garden!
I like big bulbs and I cannot lie...
You other brothers can’t deny…
OH NO! I literally spent the day in my garden and planted garlic 😳. I took a shower, made a G&T then sat down and turned on RUclips to see your video posted 3 hours ago!! 😮
I like the hard neck living in pacific northwest Vancouver island. Some of my garlic cloves are the size of a small plum. Keep the best large ones each year for planting in the fall. Been doing this for years!
Yep keeping biggest is a great move!
Dang, I must've gotten really lucky when I planted garlic in my backyard - I sort of just barely pushed some bulbs (from the grocery store) into the dirt and walked away. Now, ten years later, it has spread along my fence line and grows prolifically every year. Must be hundreds of plants out there now, but I typically trim off about 1/3 of the garlic scapes, and pull up even fewer bulbs. I also planted wild garlic the same way in a different spot - and the same thing happened with those.
Been thinking of digging it all up and planting in a raised bed to better control things, so this video helps.
My mom's been struggling with garlic for years now. This year in May she finally accepted a bit of help (I had to be subtle though, I told her to try to use the garlic that was in the fridge) and I put a big amount of compost on them while planting. And not as close as she used to plant them. She was so surprised when this year she finally had garlic in her garden. I wish she could speak English and I could show her this video. I'm visiting her in November and thank you so much for this video, I will plant some garlic for her, so she can have some already planted in the spring. I will definitely give it a try here as well, although my climate tends to be warmer. Great video and tips as always. 😊
There we go! Glad to hear this - Kevin
In northern climates use the rule 10-10-10; 10th of the 10th month with 10 cm (4 inch) apart.
Im in zone 6a. Northeastern PA. Ive tried 3 times with seed garlic and theyve all failed. Last year i stuck a bag of sprouting garlic from sams club in the ground. I got a ton of garlic this past year. Freaking crazy! They were also softneck which is weird to me but it worked. I saved a ton of garlic for planting this year so im hoping these cloves "remember " they were here before and do great again. I left out all of the tiny cloves and only kept the big ones. Im hoping for success again.
I’m also in 6a NE PA and I’ve only ever had success w/ grocery garlic for the greens.. but I only recently realized that grocery was soft neck so seeing you had success I’ll keep trying when my cooking garlic sprouts in the fridge lol
What time of the year did you plant in Pa?
@@kellyanderson-martin814you keep garlic in the fridge?
Instead of digging a hole and plopping the clove in then covering, I find drilling a long trench, spacing the garlic in it then covering all at once is a quicker and more accurate way of planting them 👍
A fantastic approach!
As an Australian it feels so weird when you say "plant it in the coldest months like December". Besides that, great vid
Do you have Christmas in summer then 🤔 so weird 🤭
5b here - planting Hardneck at the end of October, early November. The last few years, hard freeze in my area has come later - so I've had major success waiting a bit. If you're into cooking with Hardneck Garlic: The Porcelain and Rocambole varieties are divine!
5a here - Dad grew the same variety of garlic for 20+ years and I still grow it. Late October/Early November is the way to go. Dad always said to wait for that first fall's snow before planting...and even with warmer, drier winters, that advice has served us well. A couple years ago, we didn't plant until the second week of December and we still got a great crop of hardneck.
When are you guys normally able to harvest?
It's my first time growing garlic.
I planted mid October. Just trying to figure out when I should expect to harvest.
@@applesdie0 If you're asking me - usually mid to late June.But some years its been early June, sometimes July. It really depends on the variety and the year.
Watching Kevin try to water and talk at the same time made this video worth watching alone 🤣 👍
I'm a bit challenged sometimes :)
Was thinking the same 😂😁
😂😂 Came here to say the same thing.
Me at 9 AM this morning: Let's get the garlic in the ground
Epic Gardening at 2 PM this afternoon: Watch this before you plant garlic
LOL
We had our first frost earlier this week so I planted mine yesterday before the rain set in. I have had more rain today than in all of September combined. On a positive note the garlic won’t need to be watered soon (if at all before winter.)
In central Wisconsin, I've had great success with 4" inch spacing between bulbs for the past 10 years. I tried 6" spacing one year and didn't notice a difference, except that my harvest was smaller.
I figured I'd add my 2 cents. I've always grown softneck in the Sacramento valley with great success (especially Inchelium Red), but I personally prefer hardnecks due to the larger sized and ease of separating the cloves, and the flavor. Not to mention you won't usually get a ton of small cloves with every bulb.
With that said, I tried Spanish Roja, and to say they produced is an understatement. While they do produce a scape, they do so very late in the season where they don't seem to effect the harvest if you happen to miss cutting them off. I'm on my fourth year now (I always plant on October 10th) and the cloves keep getting bigger and the bulbs more reliable. Amazing variety I hope people in hotter climates will try.
Thanks so much for sharing!!
Thanks for sharing! I'll try that one
Also in Sacramento and this is my 2nd year trying garlic. Thanks for the tips.
1. What do you mean by coldest part of the year? Start of winter or peak winter?
2. Can we seperate the Cloves before refrigeration?
Perfect timing! I’m planting mine tomorrow. The refresher was just the thing!
Perfect!
It drizzled rain or I would’ve planted mine today, here in z6b. It’s been soooo dry and the tiny bit of rain we’re getting may help make planting a bit easier. 🧄
@@jcking6785 I’m in 6A and we just finally got some rain yesterday. I knew i wanted to do it this weekend but needed to top off the beds with compost first. The hubster asked if i needed anything from the store today an i told him “Yes, I need a bid stinking pile of cow $h*! PLEASE “ 😂
@@karenjohnson7355 🤣😂
Just got my garlic from botanical interests 😊 gonna plant this weekend
Hope you like it!
With everything going on in the world - I'm grateful that you're still posting, as happy and cheery as ever. Coming on here to watch your videos is my break from the insanity around us :)
I'm in zone 7a and I'll be planting my garlic in containers again possibly this week. Last year my softneck actually did a bit better than the hardneck.
As everyone has mentioned, perfect timing for this video! We just bought garlic to plant this morning. Love your channel!
Have fun planting!
I have garlic growing in my flower beds. Planted it around the roses years ago as a deterrent for bugs. It has spread and come up “wild” every year. I have enough every year to give away. Gotten to the point where I cut off the seed heads to keep it from spreading and overtaking my flower beds!
Just got two of your garlics in the mail... great packaging!
I received my soft neck seed garlic this past week and it is absolutely beautiful! Large heads, very healthy looking and packaged nicely. I would highly recommend this seed garlic.
Perfect timing as i begin my own garlic experiments
Heyyyyyyyy....I'm a Born/Raised San Diegan & until now I never knew Ya'll based here! ❤ love Me Garlic too!
My sister and her husband bought a small farm property that was built by German immigrants in the 60/70s have the absolute best garlic growing I have ever had. My sister is has a red thumb and had nothing to do with this garlic. It just grows every year with minimal watering. The cloves I was given have stayed fresh and juicy for over a year now just being stored in a dark cabinet.
I still have one hard neck garlic left over from a harvest almost two years ago that is still good and hasn't even sprouted yet. It's just been chilling on the counter, but it's still good. Don't know about the "doesn't store as long" part, lol.
I have been watching you for years. You have helped me so much with my garden. I am so proud of you and the success that you have all accomplished.
Perfectly timed! I'm in 7b and planting this weekend! The weather is finally going to cool down and stay there! Yay!!
Have fun!
Thank you! I saw a recent video saying to put hard neck in the fridge. I received my hard neck 2 days ago (ordered months ago from Annie's seeds) and put them in the fridge. So glad to see that zones 9 and 10 can plant up until Dec. I thought I possibly missed the boat due to the 8-to-10-week cold requirement. So happy to see that you sell garlic. Will order next time :)
I'm a newer subscriber, and I've loved your channel since I started watching it! Amazing job on all of your videos! I look foward to seeing more!
Leaving in North Japan, I plant garlic so it grows some 5 cms green leaves before the snow. Then in spring it grows again naturally. Very easy.
Great tips. I've been growing garlic for some time and like yourself grew Music and several others. My go to garlic now is Red Roja. We just like the flavor. I might add I also soak my garlic before planting. Alcohol for about 5-10 min then liquid kelp or fish emulsion over night. Thought I might share this with you and your viewers as some of the largest garlic growers also soak their cloves. A Google search will bring up links and specifics. I usually grow around 100 plants every year. We dehydrate lots of it and give away small jars of garlic powder as gifts. 😊
I'm an old guy who lived in many countries. The small heads of garlic that we used to have were so much stronger than these big Asian garlics that have won the hearts of garlic haters. They love them because they don't taste like garlic any more. If I was to guess I would say a half a clove of what we used to call garlic has more flavour than a whole head of this big crap. Call me a liar if you wish.
I remember this garlic. Grandma used a very sharp paring knife, to shave it in two directions, and then mince between her fingers, she'd scrape off too. Lol, you could smell it outside!😊
I don't doubt it at all. Would love to taste some!
The heat wave we had in south Florida killed my first attempt at garlic! Oh mylanta it was hot! Sweet potatoes grew well though!
If this had come out an hour earlier, I could have watched it before planting 🙃 I read your blog posts about it first, at least!
At least you got that!
Kevin - this is a great video! I can’t tell you how much I appreciate major companies specifying growing for zones 9 & 10. Zone 10 is often left out as we usually require extra or different steps/instructions to grow things that we otherwise couldn’t.
P.s. pre ordered and already received my soft neck bulbs. 🧄
I'd like to hear more about solo-clove garlic. Where the bulb is one solid clove instead of several cloves.
I knew about elephant garlic but not that one!
@@Kakuma-Notsori I actually have elephant garlic that's in single clove form. Apparently there's a cultivar that naturally forms just one solid clove and it's called solo-clove garlic, but there's also supposedly a way to make any garlic single clove with the way it's grown. Don't know how that works or if what i have is just the solo variety advertised as single clove grown elephant garlic, but it's really cool to be able to thin slice it like an onion and toss the slices in soup or lay them like lemon slices on top of chicken or fish. 👩🍳 Looks beautiful and the size makes it much easier to slice. Haven't tried roasting them, but I imagine it would be instant garlic spread.
Here in the Netherlands, we just call them “knoflookbolletjes,” or “little garlic balls.” You can get it in most Asian supermarkets and some normal ones, if you know where to look. It’s so much easier to peel and mince than regular garlic so I generally go for that instead of standard garlic now
Perfect timing because I was going to put it in the freezer for spring planting since I will miss the fall planting. Thanks and take care.
That’s it. I’m trying garlic. The timing is PERFECT!
Thanks Kevin!
Mysic is the best! I find that growing garlic is incredibly easy. Set it & forget it. But harvesting & curing takes some space & wisdom.
I'm in Huntington Beach, CA, so I'm gonna plant mine tomorrow, 👍🏾
My hardneck never goes into cold temps from time i harvest in june, till i replant in october. Comes up just fine.
Hardneck is what o grow. It just needs to keep long enough to make it to the next planting. Harvest may-July , plant in October. I have grown numerous varieties, including softneck. If you don’t want to buy any garlic during winter then you’ll have to grow some softneck to cover over, but I’d rather just buy it over winter and use all hardneck types. I plant on a 4 inch spacing 4-6 inches deep in raised beds that have compost added and just a few handfuls of a 3-3-3 organic fertilizer. We get just enough cold in central California to get nice large cloves divided. Use the small ones in the garden planted in between the bigger cloves then harvest them out as green garlic.
We grow about 450 to 500 cloves of 7 different varieties. I save my own and grow it every year. I’m lucky to not have any real diseases here so the bulbs are fine to re grow. I’ve grown a red Italian variety that I bought 17 years ago and it’s still going strong in my garden, planting best cloves every fall. Garlic is so easy to grow( as long as you don’t have white root rot or allium leaf miners.) if I can’t plant anything else in my garden, I grow garlic and potatoes and green beans. It’s not living with out these for me
The watering technique while talking in the end was impeccable. What a pro!
I live in Indiana and planted my garlic in September. It’s doing great!
I started planting garlic, have grown virtually every single kind in existence, and am up to 1000-1200 this year in the ground its growing so fast that ive become the go to place for organic garlic in my entire county. And its turning into possibly being a viable future business by accident I just got hooked on growing garlic for my own uses and then it blew up and went overboard.
You popped up like a jump scare. ( Bam!! Im here!! Garlic!! )
A little late, but still useful! I planted mine a week ago. We’re in Zone 7b
Garlic's a hard crop to perfectly time for everyone! Good luck this season
How is it late if you're supposed to plant late October, into November?
@@Josef_R it's dependent on if it's hardneck or softneck, then the specific variety, and then finally your zone. All of those factors determine your planting time.
@@Josef_RI think Amy means that because she’s already planted her garlic, this video has come a little late for her to adopt all its great growing tips.
@@Plethora_of_Paucity Yeah, I was assuming Kevin's information was correct, she says it's not.
Loved how your watering of the garlic just followed the natural flow of you talking with your arms!! I have my elephant garlic in the ground but waiting on my other hardneck garlic to be delivered!
Also if you add bone meal to each hole just about a table spoon it will help with bulb size too.
Thanks man. Here in the north of spain, border with france and high mountains with freezing temperatures and snowfalls, i plant garlic in febrary. This november i will try garlic sooner.
Great video!
I actually just planted my garlic today as well. Store bought last year and regrowing them from now on.
I love all your videos, the homestead, main channel, and Jacque's as well. I have been watching for a few years, and you were my inspiration
to start my own gardening channel.
This is exactly the type of videos I like! Explained it all in detail yet quick!
Thanks for this. Useful for us folks in hot and sunny Andalusia, Spain. Almost in North Africa where I live so this is good advice.
Oh no I've already planted mine! Lol I'll just learn for next year. We had a harrrd freeze last night so I'm glad I got them in the ground a few weeks ago.
Definitely going to try and grow some hardneck garlic. I'm in NYC so I guess I can put some in a 5-gallon grow bag and place it in the corner of my fire escape this winter.🤔
I’m in Australia, and in our country April is the time of year for planting alliums including garlic! Thanks for all your advice. Sydney is kind of like a humid version of San Diego! ❤
Why were you hiding under that table, you scared the crap outta me just jumping up outta nowhere like that.😂
I’m in Kansas and I plant hard neck elephant garlic. It’s the best garlic here in my opinion!! I plant it in late August and leave in the ground til the next summer around late July.
Holding out hope that the -47 below zero here in western Montana didn't kill my hardnecks in the ground. I usually plant in the Fall a few weeks before the first frosts and they do really well.
So helpful! Planting garlic today in Zone 9.
Thanks Eric! Great video.
Kevin is a little late for some of us about to freeze. A few weeks earlier, next season 😉
Have you ever grown potato onions? That's my new experience this season another onion that needs cold stratification. Would enjoy a video about it.
Tried our best to time this one! Haven't grown a potato onion yet - Kevin
had no idea potato onions need cold stratification. i'll put mine in the fridge with the garlic and shallots.
i read the title like TOO LATE. we're basically hittin the deep freeze here. i never really realized how complicated garlic growing might be for warmer climates. here it's just like get it in the ground before its too frozen to dig and keep it nice and hydrated after things warm up. lol
I live in Central Florida and only grow Creole varieties. I vernalize mine for 8-10 weeks and have done well. Last year got over 100, but smaller heads. This year left them cold for 3 months. Planted in December and here we are in March and mine will be done it looks by May considering I checked them today and they are forming heads
Im so on this b4 i plant! Love your onion haul!
Looking forward to planting garlic in South Carolina 8a.
The synchronised watering and talking was so satisfying 😂
You are so much fun to listen to. You have such a friendly approach to your explanations. Thanks for not complicating gardening! I have watched many of your videos, and I'm always glad when your videos come up in a search. I am a subscriber, btw. Have a good one!
Zone 6B here -- great success with hard neck at our place. Planted a LOT more this fall. Trying some soft neck this time, too. We'll see how it grows! Garlic is such a satisfying crop!! Love growing my own. Great vid!!! Thank you!
I live in northern NY, I plant soft neck garlic and I do it a coulpe weeks after harvedst in very late summer into fall. But every year it seems that harvest time is getting earlyer and early every year andThey sprout pretty good by the time winter comes a long. As the years have gone by I seem to be getting smaller cloves.
2024 has been a hell of a year, all this early rain has caused my garlic to develop a severe Rust problem, sprayed copper fungicide 2x didnt do anything at all, tried a few bio fungicides that claimed to slow down or stop rust spreading, didnt work, so i went to a local university and asked the ag guys what to spray and was told to use Azoxystrobin and its wiping it out sometimes you have to bring out the big guns systemic fungicides to wipe it out. Rust only sticks around if it lasts on the garlic long enough to turn black then it can live in the soil 10-20 years.
Growing garlic for the first time this year. Thanks for the tips!
Thanks for the information
Great video Garrick!
Excited to try this! Thank you!
Thank you for this video....I lost approximately 100 bulbs last season to orange spotted rust as well. We had so much rain. I didn't know that hardnecks could be placed in the fridge prior to planting. Thank you from a fellow gardener in Riverside.
Over the years, in SE Penna. (zone 6):
1-2" of new well rotted compost each year, Test the soil and ammend (top dress and 'scratch in') to ~ pH=6-7 (neutral) in early spring.
Hardneck 'hardy' (German or Hungarian varieties, planted 2-3 weeks before first 'hard' frost and covered with 2-3"+ 'milled' straw mulch.
Startng in MID April ( or earlier w/ good leaf development) apply every 2 weeks with a top-dressing of a 'tea' made of 2.5 gal of water per 1 cup of well dissolved pellitized chicken manure ... until ~late JUNE, or until you start to see 'the beginnings' of browning leaves.
(note, at near the end of the growing season, be sure that you pull an occasional bulb to insure that "the cloves" are NOT separating due to their HUGE size ... or poor storage quality. As 'tight' bulbs for huge cloves will store better and longer). 'Cure' them in the SHADE / low light for minimum 2 weeks.
"Gesundheit" !!!!!
You answered all the question I had on planting garlic, thank you so much.
I've found that my garlic grows better in the ground, rather than raised beds, here in NH. One year I planted some in a small raised bed and in a big raised bed. Nothing survived in the small bed, and the ones around the edges of the big bed didn't do well. Presumably the ground and the center of the big bed provided protection from the freezing temperatures.
I’m inspiring in this video about plant vegetables. Thanks man 😊
I need a garden video to grow multiple veggies/herbs in a 4x6 plot… I have an apartment so right now I only have a 1.5x2 grow bed and multiple pots all in my 4x6 space in front of my apartment… don’t even have a porch but I get plenty of sun here in TX in a 7/8 grow zone
Thanks for this video. I'm planning on growing for green garlic. I did it once by accident and it was the only garlic that was actually usable since all the others I planted in the garden died. The green garlic was a last ditch planting, in a pot, because I ran out of room in the garden.
Great info thanks.
Thanks for this video
Was literally breaking up the garlic I bought from you and picked up my phone to remind me how to do it when I saw a notification of this video! 😂😂😂
Always watching ;)
I've tried planting garlic many times with varied success.
I like the tip about cooling the bulbs before planting and will try it.
It is similar to the recommendation when planting tulip bulbs and makes a lot of sense.
Thank you for the useful information you provide.
Thank you, for this interesting information!
I so enjoy watching you ,thank you for sharing your knowledge. Happy New Year
I had funky garlic last year and wasn’t going to try again but…. Love garlic and will try again! Good tips! I’m in Palm Springs area.
Thank you very much, the timing was my issue that i had wanted to know long ago.
I was just looking up how to plant garlic before I planted them today . Thank you for the perfectly timed video 🧄
Got you covered :) - Kevin
