I never comment on you tube videos but I felt led to let you know that your videos are the best explained, best advised and easiest to understand videos I have seen yet on youtube! Thank you for explaining the reasoning behind the things you do. I was an instant fan from the first video. Thank you!
Really appreciate the feedback Karen, thanks so much. :)
😂 So am I, from S A.
you should reply to videos you like because it helps the channel get more views.
I agree, I really enjoy your channel, it's given me great pointers to growing on a budget.
A good tip I was given some years back. Keep some of your garlic back for next seasons planting. Garlic 'adjusts' to the local soil and climate and over a couple of seasons the size and flavour improves.
Great advice, thanks Kevin.
Great video Ben Thank you!
I plant 250 - 300 cloves every fall (hopefully next week!) We love our garlic...all hard neck. Music and Rocambole are the varieties....we get nice big heads and this year was a banner year!
My favorite garlic recipe (and the one that I reeled in my lovely wife of 32 years with) is 40 garlic clove roast chicken! Yep...you guessed it, stuff 40 nice big fat garlic cloves into the chicken and under the skin along with butter, fresh sage, salt and pepper and then roast at 375 for about 1 - 1 1/2 hours (depending on the size of the volunteer bird) I do mine now on our outdoor grill on a rotisserie!
I cooked that meal for my wife 35 years ago as a first date at my place and she has fessed up that she was looking for a man who could cook (young lads take note here!) and the meal so impressed her that she made her mind up that evening that we would spend the rest of our lives together!
Been cooking for her since we married 32 years ago!
Well it worked! 😁
Have a great day and Thank you for the video!
Mike 🇨🇦🍁👍
Do the chickens actually "volunteer" to be included? If so, it must be some amazing recipe!
@@leslie-lynnesinkey1225 Hahaha...probably not...very good point!
Volunteer was probably a wrong choice of words!
Have a good evening!
Mike 🇨🇦🍁👍
Wow Mike - that's a great story. And clearly your wife-to-be wasn't bothered about your garlic breath! How wonderful. She picked the right bloke clearly!
Love your comment! My Uncle plants about 300 cloves yearly. This fall he planted Organic Music from Veseys Bulbs, from York, PEI. I'm planting the same. We live in Kamloops, BC. We have had to start with new stock, and new beds, as our area was hit with white rot, a garlic fungus. Where abouts in Canada do you guys live? Oh, and that chicken recipe is to die for!! I've made something similar to the 40 cloves roast chicken....50 cloves roast chicken...lol cheers...🇨🇦
@@cindynott1 Hi Cindy
We are in Southern Ontario right on Lake Erie. I bought my initial garlic stock from Vesseys a few years ago. Music is my primary garlic and super happy with it!
I get enough to replant and just enough to get through to scape season!
Have a great day!
Mike 🇨🇦🍁👍
I love your upbeat personality and you explain things so well and make it so easy to garden. Thank you !
That’s very kind of you to say.
I've got a garlic that's been in my family for 5 generations!! I brought it from Michigan to Oregon where it's growing incredibly well. Saved from a handful of bulbs into about 10 square feet of plants with 3 generations planted!
That's fantastic - I bet it tastes incredible.
That’s fantastic. I love to hear of plants going through generations. I thought I was doing well with my 30 year old rhubarb.
that stick trick for the rows is a keeper!
Very simple but very effective Jeff.
Garlic is our favorite!! We make a dipping sauce (for fresh baked french bread) made out of olive oil, splash of apple cider vinegar, salt, and pepper to taste. Mince as much garlic as you like and add to the mixture. Stir well. We often eat it by the spoonful if you feel a sore throat coming on as well. It's delicious!!!
That does sound delicious!
I’ve been growing garlic for over 15 years - one year I planted on a friend’s farm and had about 1,000 plants! In my region (Western New York State) I plant in the middle of November and harvest is reliably the 2nd-3rd week of July. I grow Red Russian exclusively, from a strain I bought from Ted Maczka, “The Garlic Man of Fish Lake, Ontario.” Ted knew more about garlic than just about anyone ever - he was a garlic hero and is much missed.
Continuing to grow Red Russian would be a wonderful tribute to Ted I'm sure.
Do you sell your Red Russian garlic?
I loved seeing him driving around in his little car with the big garlic on the roof !! He used to come down to the Belleville Ont area quite a bit. ;)
"Inchelium Red" is an heirloom variety from the Colville Indian Reservation in Washington State, and has been grown since before the arrival of the first Anglo settlers in the area (more than 300 years). It is also on the Slow Food "Ark of Taste" list of outstanding--but also endangered!--varieties at risk of being lost completely. Growing this variety not only helps preserve this important genetic resource, it also ensures you some GREAT garlic!
It's great when you can do your bit to preserve a rare variety AND have great tasting food.
Wow thanks for sharing
Where can you get the bulbs? Thanks!
Where would you get the bulbs to help keep the variety going ?
Where could I acquire this variety.?
Thank you for the straight forward and to the point information without unnecessary padding and wasting our time!
Much appreciated!
Greetings from Australia 🦘
We really like your video's. they bring us joy. we usually watch it while drinking coffee in the morning. we hope to have a garden like you in the future. also.. we call you worm-guy instead of growveg, because the first video we watched was you talking about worms and we loved it. greetings from sweden.
Ah brilliant! We loved making the worm video - something a bit different. So pleased you enjoy the videos and I'm honoured to be joining you for your morning brew. Keep watching guys, it's appreciated. :-)
The first time I grew garlic was in 2014. It was a huge success for a beginner! I grow my own garlics since then.
One of my favorite garlicky recipes is Mediterranean Pasta. Cook bowtie pasta until not quite aldente, reserve some pasta water. Meanwhile, saute 6-10 cloves of minced (or pressed) garlic in the oil from sundried tomatoes. Add the chopped sundried tomatoes and halved or sliced kalamata olives. Then add the pasta and some chicken broth (if bullion/concentrate, add the pasta water). Bring to simmer, add a ton of spinach and some feta. Cook until pasta is tender and sauce is saucy. Amazing immediately or as leftovers.
Sounds totally delicious Marie! Thanks for sharing this recipe. :-)
Besides the excellent explanations you (always) give, you radiate ... openness gentleness and ... love. Keep going! ❤
Oh wow - thank you! :-)
I grow about 500 plants every year here on my homestead in Southern Vermont. Hardneck variety, a mix of German Hardy, Spanish Roja and others. I save about 15% of my harvest for seed and plant in mid-late October in soil amended with blood and bone meal and a little garden lime. I cover the cloves with a foot-thick blanket of straw and that way they endure the long winter snow cover. In spring I have to move the straw mulch back to let the young plants get up into the air. Once they are well established, I move the mulch back among the plants to reduce the weeds. I use alfalfa meal as a side dressing and fish emulsion as a foliar spray. Aside from what I use as seed, I use almost all the harvest during the year and only have a few bulbs left by the following July, when the new crop is ready. When a recipe calls for three cloves I use three bulbs. I am an allium addict. I tried shallots this year and they were a great success too. Always look forward to your videos and always learn a lot.
What a great system you have there William. And I don't blame you for 'misreading' cloves for bulbs!
@@GrowVeg I did not mention my drying system. Once out of the ground, the garlic are spread on tarps on my garage floor for two to four weeks. Then I gather the garlic plants and tie groups of five plants together with twine near the top of their leaves. With a small wire "s" shaped hook, I hang the bunched garlic stalks from wires stretched across the garage. I have two fans playing on the suspended garlic for over a month, so no matter how humid it gets in late summer here, the garlic will dry and not mildew. By September I can trim off the now very dried leaves and the whiskers, gently brush off any remaining dry dirt from the bulb and hang the finished garlic in net bags in my basement.
Where are the recipes!?
Bet you don't need any blood thinners in your life!
@@williamcollins4270 with this method - how long do they keep? (I am in NY just over the border from Pawlet)
If you soak them overnight in water diluted hydrogen peroxide to kill any mold or fungus, then soak them in an organic water based fertilizer like kelp meal, fish fertilizer or hydroponic fertilizer, overnight before planting it will give them a healthy boost. I watched a test where an untreated bulb and a treated bulb were planted together, at the same time and when dug up after a week the untreated bulb had 1/4 inch root nubs but the treated bulbs had 1 inch roots and a very thick root system started. Enjoy your videos! Fall is a very sad time for me having to put the outside garden to bed just when the peppers are finally covered in blooms! 6 months of Wisconsin winter 😨 ...but, I have growlights! 🤣
Wow Mary - this is a genuinely fascinating insight. Thank you so much for sharing. I'd love to try this myself next year. Great idea!
Здравствуй Бен ! Хочу поделиться своим маленьким опытом . Я проживают на юге Украине , в сельской местности . Когда осенью я сажала озимый чеснок , то в последнем ряду у меня не хватило 10 зубчиков чеснока . Тогда я взяла зубчики ярового чеснока ( который сажают весной ) и досадила рядок . Весной , рядом с озимым чесноком посадила как обычно яровой чеснок , и какое было у меня удивление , когда убирая урожай , я заметила что те 10 головок ярового чеснока ( посаженные осенью ) были намного крупнее тех , что посадила весной . Теперь я так делаю постоянно , одновременно сажаю оба сорта .Что это даёт ? 1) Чеснок вырастает более крупнее .2) Весной , он успевает на питаться талой , снеговой водой и быстро идёт в рост . 3) Вы не переживание ,что можете остаться без посевного материала , ведь вы сразу отбираете крупные зубчики для посадки .4) Весной , не всегда есть дожди , и дует сильный ветер который выбывает влагу .5) У вас освобождается время для других дел . Желаю вам богатых урожаев , интересных тем , здоровья , мира , и хорошего настроения .
Який чудовий спосіб вирощування часнику. Дякую, що поділилися цим. Сподіваюся, що скоро в Україні буде мир. Слава Україні!
@@GrowVeg , я тоже очень надеюсь , Благодарю Бен за поддержку .
I loved the bad breath friend comment. I also love garlic and have grown it for about 10 years.
We are in Southern California and my son and I want to grow garlic in a terra cotta pot! I’m glad you touched on the pot method
I have learned so much about gardening from your RUclips videos. They truly are the best. Thank you.
Thanks so much! Happy gardening! :-)
plant on the shortest day, harvest on the longest day.
Lots in my garden. Love fresh garlic
Thanks for the tips, just received my soft necks yesterday, so will be planting them soon.
My Garlic was terrible this year, just so tiny. Your vids are always inspiring me to try harder .
Got a few in this week! I love the leaves! So yummy 😋
Everything I needed to know today! Thx, Ben
Your enthusiasm is fantastic
Braise a large head of broccoli (or several small ones) and a full bulb of garlic (pressed or minced) in a ¼ cup of butter in a stove top skillet; add some leftover wine, cover and steam until desired tenderness…delicious! Thank you for the helpful tips.
Sounds totally sublime Marilyn!
Thank you. I’m doing a spot of garlic planting this weekend! 🧄
Your accent is the best Ben ! Been watching for 2yrs now ! Thanks for all the growing tips !
Thanks for your support - great to have you on board. Happy gardening. :-)
Thank you. We just planted our garlic. Great info!
I’m going to be continuing to plant out my garlic next week! Very excited for the harvest next year! This is my personal favourite thing and must have in the garden. And you just plant and forget about it and it takes care of its self!
It's a very robust crop for sure - got to love it!
It’s the perfect time to grow garlic to keep the vamps away haha thanks for the great videos
Where were you two season's ago. But it's okay. You're here now and I'm loving it!😊
I’m hoping to get some garlic to plant this weekend! Great video!!!
I now feel confident to plant some beautiful hardneck garlic cloves I just received in the mail. First time, so wish me luck! Thanks for all the tips.
Very best of luck, though I'm sure you will be absolutely fine and should enjoy a superb crop!
I just followed your directions and planted some garlic for the 1st time. Thank you. 🤗💜
Brilliant! I'm sure it will taste all the better being home-grown. :-)
Thank you for sharing!
Thanks Ben, timely info!
First time veg grower this year and have just planted mine👍
Nice one Michael - it'll be your tastiest garlic yet I'm sure!
I have grown garlic for the last four years and it’s one of my most reliable and best crop. I plant 16-20 cloves in late September, cover with straw and then harvest in mid/ late July. I just need more room to plant more so we actually have enough for the year and to plant for the following year!
I just received my garlic they are early Italian here in MICHIGAN USA zone 6. I needed this video thanks
Music is one of our favorites! It does well in the SF Bay Area.
A great variety for sure.
Love your videos
What perfect timing! I'm pulling up a small bed today that held my bean tower so I can plant my Purple Glazer garlic. Great tips, interesting that you didn't cover the bed with a couple of inches of mulch as I thought that was a definite need. Always love your videos with my morning coffee, I always learn something new and appreciate your energy!
So pleased you enjoyed the video. The ground has been well prepped but I may well add a mulch of shredded leaves in a few weeks - just as soon as the leaves start falling properly - it's been a very slow start to autumn!
thank you my fellow garlic wizard!!!
Ben thank you for all the hard work! You are my favorite garden channel, clear, concise and cheerful advice. Much love from the States!
Much love back to you - thanks so much! :-)
Yay - thank you for this. Super-helpful.
Planted my garlic today about 80 bulbs. I’m in middle north Tennessee. Love your videos. Have a great day
Great stuff Lisa - you're in line for a bumper crop. Good job!
Thanks for this post.I've grown elephant garlic and have enough for a full row,they much milder and wonderful to cook with !!
I can't wait to try it!
Very happy to have stumbled upon your videos. You have a beautiful garden. My grandfather was a master gardener and I regret to say that I didn't learn enough from his wealth of knowledge. I often find myself watching RUclips to refresh my memory of basic techniques. Again, thank you! You are a blessing to many people!! 🙏
Thank you for your kind words. Delighted you stumbled across the channel! :-)
I always enjoy your videos...
Thank You so much for posting this I luv garlic too.
Love your videos! I study Permaculture and have planted garlic under my fruit trees as part of a guild 🌱
Thank you for these fabulous videos 🙏
Hey, thanks for sharing
This was so helpful. You answered all my questions. Thank you!
I love your vibe so much. You're getting me excited for growing.
Yey! Happy gardening! :-)
Great video! Thanks!
Love my Garlic! I have 2 unknown varieties I purchased at a farmers market and regrow them every year. Made garlic powder for the first time this year and it was the best I ever had. Highly Recommend!
I bet it taste supreme Karl.
I enjoy your enthusiasm😊
I love cucumber season. I use a quality wooden slicer to slice them card stock thin…add lots of garlic, olive oil, sea salt, fresh ground pepper and fresh squeezed lemon juice. Once the cucumber juices are flowing I use a very clean hand to squeeze and mix the sliced cucumbers together. It’s a real taste sensation and I’m always sad when the season is over. Store bought cukes just don’t measure up. But it’s the garlic that makes the dish!!😋
That sounds like a superb way to serve the up.
Thank you for all the work you put in to these videos! They have really inspired me to start my own vegetable garden. I haven't been very successful at it yet, something always seen to happen to my veggies, but I do still enjoy the feeling of hope and optimism gardening gives me :P there's always next time
Absolutely - and gardeners are always optimistic!
You're the best, Ben! I've learned so much from your gardening know-how and wisdom. Many thanks!
And thanks for watching Bonnie - so pleased you find these videos useful. :-)
@@GrowVeg Doing us Bens proud!
I’d watch this guy on TV, entertaining and informative, great vids 👍
Thanks so much! :-)
Just love Garlic...
Such a helpful video!! Thank you so much!
Thanks for the video. First year doing garlic. Just put 155 cloves in the ground.
You are in for a real treat! :-)
Thanks, Ben. This will be my first year planting garlic. I am nervous about it as a new vegetable gardener, but your video is helping!
It's a great crop to grow - not too tricky and very satisfying.
I love your video's so informative, I never knew there is different kinds of garlic! I'm planting garlic for the first time this year! Thanks again, happy planting! 😀
Happy planting Debbie!
SO glad I found your channel! Thank you for your clear and helpful videos.
Welcome to the channel!
Thank you, some nice tips in growing garlic.
Thank you for the most informative, concise garlic growing video I've watched. Love your channel.
Thanks so much! :-)
Love the video
Made garlic scape pesto the first time last year, yum! Glad to know that garlic likes alkaline soil, at 7.5 here in Utah. You inspired me to label, trying 5 varieties from territorial seed this year.... It will be good to know which I love best! Thank you for your videos!
Good luck with them Nicole. Great to be able to try a few different varieties like that.
Great video! Thank you for the growing tips👍👍
Excellent video. Answered all my questions. Thank you...
Thanks, I'm getting ready to plant garlic for the first time. Prayers please 😊
You'll do just fine! :-)
I planted my garlic the last week in October. Last month I saw where some of it had been dug up. My delinquent squirrel had used the bed for storing his winter stash. Thankfully I still have about a dozen left, so I covered the area with tulle to keep the squirrel out. Looking forward to being able to harvest the rest next month.
Well done on rescuing the rest of the garlic. :-)
I’m sick this morning and hearing him use the term “a shed load” of vitamins made me feel immensely better 😂
so glad I found this channel.....fabulous info from a true expert!
Cheers Richard, appreciate that. :-)
Your face at the very start just made me want to like n sub 🤗 You answered all the questions I didn’t even know I had 😅. Thank you. (The smell of wild garlic in the summer has to be my favourite smell ever😍)
Thanks so much Wendy - and welcome to the channel! :-)
Very informative! Going to put some in to try. The garlic i get from the store i roast in oven then squeeze roast garlic into butter and use over pasta with parm cheese. Thanks for another great video.
Sounds yum!
Planting out the last of my garlic this week 2nd time growing it
Thanks Ben, another great video. I planted my garlic last week. I chose Solent White which is another soft neck variety. I agree with you comments about supermarket bought garlic. I grew some last year, which grew fine but the bulbs were a little small. Keep up the good work and kind regards. Gary
Cheers for watching Gary, and very best of luck with this next season's crop. Solent Wight is a great variety.
LOVE LOVE LOVE garlic! I cook a lot, so I use a lot of garlic. For years I've grown whatever soft neck variety I bought at the grocery store a long time ago, and it's always grown just fine. This year (actually 3 weeks ago) I planted several varieties of hard neck. The cool thing about growing garlic is that you get garlic to eat and more garlic to plant for the next year. As long as you keep the cycle going you'll never have to buy garlic for the rest of your life.
It's true - it's a great crop for keeping going and going, so long as you save some of the bulbs for re-planting.
lovely
thank you for the video, i started with 2 giant bulbs three years ago, i was up to 36 bulbs this year. however this past season i did a shotty job watering them, so my beautiful bulbs that i believe to be of the Music variety are now super small. lesson learned. i'm adding German White to my garlic stock this season. i'll be sure to water them thouroughly next year.
Yes, keep them watered in dry weather Karin.
Love your videos. I grow a LOT of garlic, I'm up to 14 varieties, and I planted 377 cloves this year. My favorite is the Kettle River Giant it's a spectacular specimen in size and flavor.
Wow - that's a lot of garlic!
Your so easy to follow withe great knowledge
Thanks so much! :-)
Am going to try growing garlic for the first time - will be planting some later in the month 🙂
Smart move!
I love a pesto made with scapes! Delicious!
Yum!
Very simply, I like to throw in a few unpeeled cloves of garlic when roasting veg, then squeeze their gooey insides out once cool enough (so satisfying!) ....adds a gorgeous sweet garlicy flavour to the dish
The best way to enjoy them Rebecca.
Hi, Ben! Thanks for positive flow in each of your video's! Now what more to make with garlic? smoked chees abt. 200-250g, garlic 2-3p., 4-5 royal spoons mayonaise. Make all fine or use a kitchen machine and mix with mayo. You can put green's for more color and taste.This salade can be used as a spread of adjustment by your meal. Enjoy! .
Sounds totally delicious Victoria!
Really helpful and informative. Thank you.
i came over and watched this video. thank you!! i think i will be successful this year with garlic. something ive been wanting to grow in my garden for a while!! my family loves garlic and we eat it almost every night with our dinner, RAW! we have become accustomed to the spiciness and we love it. even my 3 year old eats the tiny tiny ones. it really keeps us from getting sick!
Garlic is awesome like that - I'm with you on eating it raw from time to time - powerful stuff!
@@GrowVeg very powerful! too powerful sometimes lol but we like to get 100% of the benefits from it and once you cook it theyre just not there anymore. flavor is though. garlic is great all around 🙂
Garlic and chilli prawns with coriander and a slice of lime.....delicious and super quick and easy.
Yum!
For those in the southern hemisphere, plant by ANZAC Day and pull up around Remembrance Day, or At least when the leaves have browned. Great tips as usual.
Cheers for that Jasen.
You can use garlic in:
Butter chicken( commonly known in Asia)
using 2 breast chicken pieces can use 1-2 garlic bulbs.
Depending on how garlicky you like it.
Yum!
This is the 1st year that I’ve planted garlic. I planted the hard neck since I live in Northern WV. Looking onward to harvest next year.
Nice one Bev - I hope you have a great harvest. :-)
so watched a video where the guy puts the cloves into sitting above water and the roots grew rapidly! then when they sprouted about 4-6 inches high he planted. i loved it - they have been prolific for me this year and it was so much faster
Interesting. I've heard a few people recommend this method, so might try it next year to compare.
