Nice. I did my garlic video over the weekend for zone 5. :) I say plant more than you need since some just won't do well AND you need enough big ones to plant the next fall.✌
Rewatching cause i couldn't listen the 1st time. Golly, I really hope I planted hardneck.😬 They're already in and is my 1st year. I didn't know the difference, now I do. Here's hopin!🤞 Thanks, Jules!✌🧡🍂
Oh, if you brought them locally they will probably grow right. I think I read that the majority of store bought garlic is softneck. I *think* that is what I read.
Jules this was a great video, hahaha that bone meal company definitely should sponsor you 😂🙌🏼 why the hell not! Great explanation of hard and soft necked garlic plus all the tips….. thanks for sharing my friend!! 🙌🏼🙌🏼
Thanks for this information sir ⚘ I tried many times, to do soft neck garlic. I'm trying hard necks this time around.... And planting 5-6 inches in the soil this times
Good morning. Depth is key. We grew enough for the fresh to hold us through Christmas and enough powder to hold a us a few years after that, plus a few more to plant again. We are trying to get out of buying garlic at all. :) Nice to meet you.
Well best of luck with it. I imagine it would be difficult. If my recollection is correct, "Elephant Garlic" is favored in warmer US regions...it is technically not a garlic but grown as a substitute for garlic. I think that is correct.
Great How To Jules. I have enjoyed growing garlic for the last two years. I like what you said, it is better to have too much than not enough! Ain't that the truth haha.
Hey Mel! That should work. We have a 34 degree coming on Thursday and back to back 32 degrees right after that over here. Good luck with the garlic! I am sure you will succeed! Great success you had this year with everything else. Impressive!
Hey, Jules! I am a garlic junkie! I have never done soft neck. I will try it next year, although I am in zone 7A. I love 🧄. Nice sponsoring face,😇😂. No such thing as too much garlic. Take care. ✌️
@@michaelyoung1892 Garlic will keep for 6 months under the right conditions. So, that is, let's see 2.5 bulbs x 180 is 450 bulbs. We planted 104 in a 4x7 space. So, you would need 28 square feet x 4.5 = 126 square feet. Basically it looks like a 10x12 bed roughly with 450 cloves. For softneck, that would be about 48 bulbs to plant since they yield 8-10 cloves per bulb. You can dry and powder to cover the other 6 months before the new sets come in. Dried garlic can last 3-5 years.
Hi I’m in zone 7A, too (northern Virginia). Did you plant the soft neck? If so, how did it perform? I’ve never played a garlic ever, and Fall 2023 is my first season trying it. Glad to hear that hard neck will do well here.
Packed with great information, Jules. We will be planting within the next couple of weeks (8a-8b, in between) and will change a few things up thanks to you. PEACE OUT!!
How cold can hardneck garlic handle? I'm in Zone 5, I think. I don't think it would ever get below -10F up here and so far the coldest I've seen is 8F.
Thanks for that! I’m hoping to get ours in the ground tomorrow, it was just too wet out there today! I plant about the same amount as you. Some of the soft necks do grow well up in My part of Canada, I’m on the borderline of 5B and 6A. Some of the weakly bolting hardnecks will work as a soft neck for you but will reliably produce a scape if grown here. I love garlic growing! Klaus
@@JulesGardening it was an okay harvest. The True Purple Stripes were smaller than normal but the Rocamboles and Porclains were about normal. Hopefully next year will be better!
Hi! Zone 7b here, West Central Alabama. Thank you for your video. I have a question. I'm planting Inchelium Red garlic this fall. Last year I planted 80 Inchelium Red cloves in the first week of October. The garlic grew too much and I only harvested 3 bulbs the next year. This year I'm waiting until closer to the first frost date, November 15. I've amended my bed (alot of clay in this soil) with compost and my own leaf mold. I also added a bulb food. Now the bed is waiting for the garlic. When, oh when should I plant? I don't want to lose another crop! I'm thinking November 7 or so. Please advise. Thank you very much for your help.
I would plant it Nov 01 Patty, and cover it nicely to keep that soil as warm as you can as long as possible. I would be concerned with a hard frost stopping the cloves before they get started for a Nov 07 plant date. Even two weeks on Nov 01 away is pretty close. And good luck!
dont judge... I looked at all our garden stores for garlic and came up with ZILTCH I had to resore to grocery store garlic. I got 2 heads.. 1 regular garlic the other elephant garlic. This is the first time I have tried this, so I dont know what I planted. In 1 container I put the regular and in another container I put the Elephant. When there was a first freeze I put wheat straw down. I planted in late October to mid November ( I think). The elephant is coming up but the regular is not. What do I look for and when ?
Hello Melanie. No judgement here. The elephant garlic is not a true garlic to my understanding. It is akin to a bulbing leek. Less pungent so easier to consume raw. The regular garlic. Well it should have sprouted a shoot before January. That it did not means it is possible it was treated to prevent sprouting. And closer to likely since it was store bought. I would leave it be unless you need that container for something else. Also, if organic is your aim you might consider the possibility that it was sprayed with a chemical, and if so there is residue in each clove planted. On the otherhand, people eat sprayed garlic on the regular if they buy it from the grocery store. Bottom line, if you don't need the container for something else leave it be and check it every few days for a green shoot. Oh, and do not start counting days until you see the shoot. No shoot means no real root development yet. It will take a few months longer to harvest if it eventually provides a shoot. Hope that helps. Thanks for watching and happy growing Melanie!
I cook chicken with vegetables i don't use salt at all. Not even spaghetti water. I had garlic powder i used sometime. Growing up around italians they all say fresh garlic. My mom has jar of it cut up she gave me some. Some people eatch my vids said i use to much. I honestly can't taste it. There was guy at work smelled like garlic🦹🏻🧄
Yes. You can do it in 3 or 5 gallon container. 2-3 cloves spread so they do not over compete. Make sure the soil does not get soggy, which is usually caused by a plastic container and ground soil as the medium. I would use a loose potting mix and fabric bag. They do need watering in the fall and less in the winter. But yes you can do that.
I shoulda did a shovel dig up of cd package I "dug up". Tree talk - two Bing cherry, pear, 3 Winesap apples. Peach. Pears & apples bee have to watch dogs get stung in mouth.

That is right. I meant to mention that part, more to plant next year. I need to pin this one.
Thank God i found someone that lives in my zone😅

Lots of great info Jules
Thanks Joe!
Watching in 2024! I’ve always said I’m going to try planting garlic, but just never get it done. Going to try this year
Hey Christie! It is well worth it! Good luck!
Great information!
I planted mine October 11.
Ooh! I may have gone too early given the warm October. I guess we will see next June. :) Have a blessed day Nikki.
You are a life saver!!!
Thank you!
Hey Brother! Garlic for the win. Thank you for the lesson. Peace, Love, Namaste, Laterrrrrrrrs
Namaste brother. Peace.
Yes better to have too many than too little. I love the fact that I know I need to harvest my garlic around my Birthday. Its like a b day gift. Lol
Ha ha ha. Nice birthday gift! Have a blessed Sunday.
Garlic's own garden is the best
OOh, never thought of that. Thanks for the tip Moondiver.
Awesome info Mr. Jules. Looking forward to seeing your monster garlic. Stay safe my friend!
You too CB. Hope all is well. We missed y'all at the cook out. Maybe next time, in April.

My garlic from last year never bulbed up, so I left it in the ground. It will go another winter and we will see what happens in the spring. :-)
Oh no! And that will be interesting to see if it does well.
@@JulesGardening It was my first time growing it, so now it has become an experiment instead of a failure. :-)
Hey, Jules! I am a garlic junkie! I have never done soft neck. I will try it next year, although I am in zone 7A. I love 🧄. Nice sponsoring face,😇😂. No such thing as too much garlic. Take care. ✌️
Ha ha ha, thanks Karen! Like that shameless plug to become a sponsor? lol. Be blessed.
@@JulesGardening how much garlic should a garlic loving fiend plant? Yes, I would eat two or three full bulbs of garlic a day if I was garlic rich.

Bit warm for sure. They should do well though. Softneck?

Most welcome! And thanks for watching. Hoss Tools, by the way, just released a garlic video this morning you may be interested in watching.
@@JulesGardening thanks bud. Will definitely check it out
Hey. How did your garlic turn out?
Thank you for sharing 😍! Put my garlic in last week and today! X 💜
Awesome. And best of luck! Love growing garlic. Fun!
Great tips, Jules! I'll have to research what is best to plant for zone 4B. Thanks!
Glad to help Rick. Planting in fall makes a huge difference. I think hardneck works best in the north.
How cold can hardneck garlic handle? I'm in Zone 5, I think. I don't think it would ever get below -10F up here and so far the coldest I've seen is 8F.
My understanding is that hardneck thrives in harsh winters. I think you'd be fine with it.
Thank you Jules, revisiting this one. I’m going to plant a lot of garlic this fall!!! Great info and much appreciated!!
Well good luck Susie!
