Also the garlic he said he didn't harvest in time, he said he bought at the grocery store. I'm assuming he meant culinary use garlic, as opposed to for planting. That would likely be soft neck garlic which does not develop scapes supposedly, but I see scapes /scapes remnants...?
Make sure you are removing the garlic scape after the first curl so that it puts the energy into the bulb.
I actually like it when it seeds the ground. I get lots of volunteer garlic growing. The heads are smaller, but it's free garlic.
Can l ask what a garlic cap is? My garlic for the past 2yrs are small. I put cow manure in sandy soil with organic potting mixture in the bed .
@@patriciaboatman8423 a scape only forms on hardneck varieties. Its a flower stem that comes from the middle of the plant and as it grows it curls. You want to remove these when they begin to curl (,you can eat them) so that the energy goes into forming the bulb and not energy into the flower stem.
@@2MinuteGardenTips they're so tiny I don't see the point when you can grow up to 8 new good sized garlic bulbs from just one clove. It's still free if you keep a couple cloves to plant in the fall. I'm not sure Id dedicate space to a very underdeveloped bulb. But that's just me
@@DebRoo11 couple of cloves
Harvest those garlic scapes when they curl. They have a great mild garlic taste. Terrific to make a batch of pesto to freeze, use like green onions in cooking, or dry and powder for a mild garlic powder. Yum!
I let them seed the ground. You'll get free garlic plants. The heads will be smaller, but you get a lot of them.
I just made scape butter for grilling burgers & steaks. “Free Food”😊
@2MinuteGardenTips my understanding is that once the scape has been harvested the plant will focus on bulb development.
@@2MinuteGardenTipsTy for the great tip!
Love watching a good garlic harvest, thanks for sharing!
You're welcome!
Garlic is a must grow, and it's relatively easy.
I got a great garlic harvest this year. I built a drying rack for them for next year. I had garlic all over the place drying. I used the saw horse and wood slits. Built two, one for onions and one for garlic.
Happy I got good seed garlic so I don’t have to buy them because they are kind of pricey.
I need 2 minute garden tips to harvest onions if possible
Cut back the scapes, then save a couple of your biggest bulbs to plant in the fall!
I let the scapes re-seed. You get smaller bulbs, but they're still good.
Im about to pull up a head to see if they're ready. It's my first time growing organic seed garlic that was successfully overwintered. I'm still nervous that they didn't turn out, though. We'll see.
I didn't know you had this other channel -- I'm subscribed now!!!
Thank you for the tips ... it's the end of July and my garlic doesn't seem ready. It is said to wait until more than half the leaves have died back. I have 4 leaves completely dead and the fifth is almost died back which would be half out of 9 leaves. Is it alright to leave them longer to see if they will grow more? Wondering because the weather we've had has been to the extremes (cold & wet to 30+ C for a month) but now it's pretty nice.
Thank you for educating cause I needed to learn how and when to harvest garlic. Pulled my first plant today. Going to wait on all the others cause they're not quite ready yet
I pulled mine last week, but my climate is a bit ahead of most. When they've mostly died back, they're ready.
I appreciate u pulling it early!
My history shows that if you harvest scapes, you can use those and it also increases the output size of your bulbs at the end. I’ve always seen bigger bulbs when I cut my scapes off. Plus, the scapes are absolutely delicious. Is there a reason why you left the scapes on?
Thank you for this information on harvesting garlic🥰
I planted from seed garlic and it's dying back heavily with some of them having already gone completely brown and it's only been just over 6 months.
Everyone’s garlic seems early this year. I think it’s the heat.
@@Gardeningchristine probably. We had a very warm winter. It wouldn't bother me that they're dying off early, but the bulbs aren't big enough yet.
Seems like everyone’s garlic is about a month early this year. That’s okay because the beans will go in after they are harvested and have an extra month to grow on.
That's great, my friend. subscribed to new channel)
Thank you!
You're welcome!
Thanks for sharing. I moved to a new site and thought I had a bunch of onions growing. Turns out it’s garlic!!! I was wondering when to harvest. Is it typical mid summer??
It's going to vary widely based on where you live. I'll be pulling all mine within a week, so all my garlic will be harvested late May/early June. Folks in cooler regions will be behind me. Northern tier states may not harvest til mid-summer.
Nice! Thank you for sharing! 😊👍👍
You're welcome!
garlic had scapes growing and you never mentioned it. most garlic growers suggest cutting the scapes and that is the indicator that they should be ready to harvest in a 1-3 week period.
Did you plant your pantry garlic last Fall or this Spring? Thanks!!
I've found elephant garlic to have less bite. Less taste. Is that the case with this garlic?
The garlic is as big as an onion. It's amazing.
The Music was quite beautiful.
We had a really wet May/June. Sad I had to pull them so early but the bottom 3 leaves had died off and the soil was way too wet. Growing in southern BC is tough some years.
The older I get, the more I realize the importance of a covered garden. Any chance you can build a high tunnel, greenhouse or some other way? If I could do ti all over again, that's what I would like to do to take rainfall out of the equation.
@@2MinuteGardenTips Really? I never thought of that. Like an open greenhouse sort of idea? Thanks for the reply!
You should harvest when half the plant has died, not the whole plant or you risk it splitting.
The scapes take energy from the plant that would otherwise be used to develop the bulb. The "free gralic" you THINK you are getting is actually what might have been part of the bulb you didn't get. So, is it really "free?"
I regularly use pantry sprouts. And my results are great. But... I see inconsistency in bulb development within my crops over the years.
My daughter bought a house that had garlic planted. We didnt get to it in time and its now separated single cloves. What can we do with this now? Ty!
I love garlic but I haven't even tried growing it.
Was going to mention your scapes but looks like several commentators beat me to it.
My garlic is not really dying yet but i leave for holiday in some days. I dont trust my mom to do it while i am gone. (All her plants die and i am now the caretaker amd gardener)
I never got scapes. And the garlic didn't form cloves either
What is wrong with tomato plants with black on the leaves
How did you get your soil to be that dark?
I take care of it. 6 years of constant composting and mulching.
Where is everybody getting their music garlic from? I ordered from eBay last year and they weren’t any good. I have 2 surviving plants right now that aren’t looking very good, out of the 1 lb of bulbs I bought. The rest rotted in the ground over winter. I paid over $20 for them 😩
Migardener will have the music variety for sale in September/October…
I get my Music garlic from Territorial Seed company.

Don't forget to remove the garlic scapes.
I let them re-seed.
How is the garlic free? Unless you stole it from the grocery store 🤣
Seriously
Because it went bad in the back of the pantry. It wasn't edible, so it was either throw it away or plant it. Therefore, free. It was inedible trash.
Hehe , I like this girl, she’s more logical than “guys”😂🤦♀️🤣😂🤣😂🤣
Why waste space on tiny grocery store garlic which is difficult to use anyway.
You need to remove the scapes.
This video is not accurate, scapes should be removed for best size heads!
I have one set that has a purple flower on top... what do I do? is it gone to seed? This is the first try at 🧄
Don’t panic. Bees love allium flowers and I usually let one or two flower just for them. They won’t produce seeds, but you might get some bulbuls and those can be planted to grow into garlic but they take 2-3 years to actually make a head of garlic.
Thank You!
