Not to be a troll, but I would like to add a couple of things about E.G. The leaves are very good to eat, chop and put them into stir-fry dishes, very spicy. When you harvest, the bulbs will have small brown bulblets growing on the side of the bulb, sometimes several on one bulb. These can be grown into mature plants in 2 growing seasons. The first year it will only grow into an immature plant with just a single round bulb and not flower. Leave these plants in the ground. They will die back in the summer and be dormant until the cool season rains come, (Oct. where I live). I mulch the ground for the summer and they resprout and grow into a mature flowering plant. When I harvest my E.G., I will take these brown bulblets and just stick them back in the hole or in a large pot and mulch the top. They will sprout in Oct. I have spots in my yard when E.G. has been growing for over 15 years. I obtained my plants from a friend who had it growing all over his yard, on the south side of trees, walls, and fences. We can trace it back to over 50 years of continually growing and resprouting. I have heard of old country homesteads, abandoned for decades but E.G. still sprouting and growing every year. My point being you can make a permanent bed or space the grows E.G. for years, never having to buy more and ending up with hundreds of plants. I did enjoy your video and did subscribe.

Great comment. I have been growing EG for many years, many of them haphazardly. I’ve harvested the immature first year bulbs because of my poor labeling and they are solid round bulbs - ping pong, golf ball, and larger. I love growing EG.

@@LizThompson-ds1fl I could have written this, lol. I'm making notes now for what to remember to do including making myself be much better at labeling or otherwise noting what's in the bed. Why, oh why, do I think I can remember this stuff, lol. I just harvested a whole passel of what would have been beautiful EG next year 😏

So, just about to plant mine, and I know I'm pushing it at Zone 10a, but... It looks as if what we are really looking for as a depth is to put about 1/2"-1" of soil OVER the TOP of the bulb ( 6:57 ), not have it 3"-4" deep over the top. Glad I watched as well as listened, what I heard and what I saw was two different things. You did say to make the HOLE 3"-4" deep ( 4:56 ), then you mixed up the granular in the bottom before placing the bulb into the hole (right side up, of course!), so yeah, it looked to be a fairly light cover over the very top peak of the bulb. Thank you Ma'am! This has been exactly the information I need, and I can see the growth you have in your "Normal" Garlic video that was made later! Bonus! 🤠👍

Yea! Pretty cool to see the results a few weeks later in my newer videos. Sorry for the confusion. Just to clarify, plant elephant garlic 3-4 inches deep, whether it be make the hole that deep, or pile soil over the top. Planting deeper helps keep the soil cooler which the bulbs prefer.
