    About 10 years ago I popped about 20 cloves of garlic, that I bought at the grocer, into the ground in November. By mid may I had such lovely garlic. Been doing it ever since. Same garlic and I have no idea what type it is. It did produce scapes and I used to just throw them away. lol. Not anymore! Great tips! Love the channel!

    The key to storing garlic is a warm, dry and dark place, this puts it into hibernation. I have one like this and even my hard neck stores well for a year or from harvest to harvest as long as bulbs are healthy and without any damage.

    Thanks, Ben. I have planted out three types of garlic in large grow bags. One variety is chesnok hardneck. They are covered with polytunnels. Well mulched, hopefully, this will ensure they won't be in soggy soil. I do have a ph moisture tester, so will check now and again. I just hope I have planted them at the right depth. Thank you again for all your advice and tips. Also, congratulations on the 100 million views. Maggie UK

    I use holidays to remember the planting, fertilizing, and picking. Plant on halloween. Top dress with light compost around the Ides of March or St Patrick’s Day, Keep an eye out for picking starting around the 4th of July (at least here in the states). I started with labeled organic bulbs from the grocery store a fee years back and been picking the largest of the yield ever since. Better every year.

    As I mentioned in your survey the weather has been off the chart warm in Z5a, Wisconsin, US. Only a few days in October were normal and the rest above normal temp. Our first frost s/b 9/15 and it’s now 11/2 and planting today as frost didn’t arrive until October. If I planted according to frost date they would have been a foot tall. All the energy is lost and the bulbs struggle in spring.
    What I did last year was waited later to plant and covered with thick mulch and slowly pulled it off come spring. The garlic was nice sized. I did leave one scape and waited for it to curl and uncurl as I heard once it uncurls the bulbs are ready and found it to be true. Or just wait for lower 4 leaves or so to dry up.

    A little trivia for you.I lived in Arizona for 22 years. Near the border of Mexico is a small town named Ajo. Who is Spanish for garlic. Grown extensively there. When you come into the town you smell garlic. Its wonderful. Used to have a big festival every year, but I've been gone for some time not sure. But their garlic is wonderful if you can find it.

    Good Afternoon Ben. Excellent video, so informative. I have two questions. In early spring how often should I water my garlic? Like yourself I have topped my garlic with lots of leaves, should I leave or remove them in early spring? I grow local shop bought garlic. Two years running now. So far so good .

    • @GrowVeg
      @GrowVeg  20 дней назад +1

      I would consider removing some of the leaves in spring if they are still quite thick, to help the shoots push through. Water from spring if its dry - just poke a finger into the soil and if it's dry, water. :-)

    According to the list, zones 9-10 you should plant in November, start of December.
    Can it be confirmed?
    I live in the south of Italy (Salerno).
    Or better to put them in the fridge?
    Can they be then out in the fridge anytime from now till January or is there any cut off when fridge can't be used anymore? 😊

    • @GrowVeg
      @GrowVeg  18 дней назад +1

      I reckon you'd be find to plant them outside as they are in November or start of December as there should still be a bit of colder weather to help them on their way. But if in doubt, buy them now and put them in the fridge until you plant in early December.

    Good evening all... I planted a load of garlic a month or so ago. They grew away really well, yet today I noticed that they are covered in rust !! I have never seen rust this early, only in late Spring / early Summer when they are nearly ready to harvest. Is my crop already lost, or can I just remove all rust leaves and hope they grow ? It is so disappointing, as garlic is always my best and easiest crop that is safe from pests and diseases. Thank you for any advice.

    • @bertarnoldo5199
      @bertarnoldo5199 23 дня назад

      You more than likely either have a large population of the rust already in your soil and it’s not cold enough for it to be dormant, or you got a bad batch of garlic and it was covered

    • @GrowVeg
      @GrowVeg  18 дней назад

      I've not seen this happen so early on before. It may be that the winter cold helps to quash the rust. But I suspect this may compromise the crop and it may be worth restarting in a new area with fresh cloves from a trusted supplier. Sorry.

    4:40 so the flat bit facing downwards and the pointy end facing upwards, so pay attention so you don't have the bottom bit and pointy end both facing downwards 🤣

    Plant your garlic after the first frost so it does not come up before it should.

    Your other garlic video suggests about an inch of soil above the point and here you’re saying 4 inches… why the big difference??

      I think maybe there was some confusion in the delivery of it. I do mean 4 inches of soil above the tip - that is best.

      @ thanks so much for your reply. Absolute beginner here who is hoping it’s not too late to get some garlic planted in pots tomorrow! Your vids were really helpful.

    Sorry Ben, but I absolutely DETEST garlic. I can smell and taste even the slightest amount in any dish. I can smell it on people 3 or 4 days after they’ve eaten it. It turns my stomach over, it’s so horrible.
    Having said that, my children love it! So I do grow some for them, but they have to use it in food I’m not going to eat and then they need to eat it when I’m not around. The windows have to be opened whilst they cook it with the extractor on fully and then use 1 or 2 incense sticks afterward to eliminate the lingering smell that I can detect throughout the house!
