SO glad to get quick answers!! So many people make 30-minute videos that have their place, but sometimes, I just need a quick answer especially if I'm in the garden. Great format!

Cut them up , throw them in a blender with olive oil and salt to taste. Blend them into a paste, place in a freezer bag and press out to about a 1/2 inch deep in the plastic freezer bag and freeze, break off a piece anytime when you want to add delicate garlic flavor to any soup, stew etc- anytime of the year...Fabulous!!!

I had to harvest my garlic a bit early, because I needed the space for dwarf cherry tomatoes. Being early meant the foliage was still green. I'd never tried garlic greens before. My god what a wonderful garlic butter we made with it. Also fantastic in stir fries etc, etc. Cheers Jeff. Have a great weekend!!!

@tennesseenana4838 2 года назад

I planted my first garlic bulbs the last week of October, after they'd been in the fridge for 4 weeks. Yesterday (11-17) I saw tiny green shoots peeking out from their straw covering. Love your simple and easy to understand instructions! Thank you!!!

Great video! I was given a box of garlic cloves for planting in the Spring... that was written on the box. I had never heard of Spring planting for garlic and I wonder if there are two types of garlic? I live in Canada so should I harvest before the snow?

@TheRipeTomatoFarms 3 года назад

There are two types.....softneck and hardneck....but in Canada there might not be enough time even if you used a softneck variety to harvest before winter. Worth a shot though!! :-)

@shirleyk623 3 года назад

All my garlic cloves rotted in the ground without sprouting. I found a few half rotted cloves. I had them in the same bed as my winter tomatoes. (We can grow tomatoes almost year round here in Florida) Was that not a good place to put the cloves? I've never grown garlic before.

@TheRipeTomatoFarms 3 года назад

Could be too warm. Garlic is temperate climate crop.... You'll have to get extreme softneck varieties to be successful in Florida.

@@TheRipeTomatoFarms Thanks. I planted it in our "winter". October I believe, it could still be hot here though. I bought it from my local nursery. I'm assuming it was soft neck. I will try again in the fall.

I hope you see this. I can never seem to harvest my garlic at the right time. I've had several of my garlic bulbs grow the scapes but the scapes are straight up and don't curl as shown in the video. I went ahead and cut them off because it creates a big bulge in the middle of the stem and some were scapes heads were splitting open. didn't know I was supposed to cut them as low as possible without hurting the plant, I only cut maybe 3" off. I'm going to go look for a video on harvesting garlic but should I go back and cut the stems where the scapes were lower or leave it? I do not know what variety of garlic I have since I had some from my grandpa Phillips and then I think some are store bought. I'm Zone 8 in California.
