Harvesting Your Garlic, And Everything You Need To Know How! Mid-summer brings us fresh fruits and vegetables, for sure. But it also brings us to the culmination of a 10 month process that started last fall when we planted our Garlic!
Quite literally the longest crop, Garlic may seem like an advanced grower's plant, but really, its quite easy to grow, despite the time. In this video we learn when to harvest the Garlic, what clues to look for that it is ready, how to harvest Garlic, and how to cure and treat it for long time storage.
Join me on this Garlic finale nearly a year in the making as we finally harvest one of my favorite crops!

@pamelaremme38 2 года назад

A little helpful hint I discovered. When cleaning your garlic (after the curing) Leave 3-4" of stem. Don't remove any skin but use the trimmed roots to lightly brush the clove and roots of a different bulb. Then take that clean bulb and do another one and repeat always using the now clean bulb to clean the next one. Works beautifully. I am still eating my garlic from last season and almost ready to harvest this years crop.

@noreen_ann1438 11 месяцев назад

This is the best video on growing and harvesting garlic. I’ve been growing garlic for many many years. And this explains it very clearly! I also keep the larger garlic clocks to replant in the fall. You reap what you plant! If you plant small cloves you get smaller heads the falling year! Which is something I didn’t know when I first started out. My cloves are sometimes too large to put in a garlic press. I also dehydrate some into garlic chips and store in jar. When I want to make garlic powder I grind the chips to a powder with a coffee bean grinder! I haven’t purchased store bought garlic powder in 10+ years.

This year was my first growing garlic, and I believe that I harvested it too early. Question: Can I grow garlic the following season in the same bed?

@TheRipeTomatoFarms 3 года назад

Thanks so much for that Virginia...its definitely a challenge. Some videos are 4-5 months in the making....its crazy the level of planning....the real killer is the ones that don't work out, yet you've invested 60+ hours into it! Still...rewarding nonetheless! For Garlic, yes, definitely it can be grown in the same spot year after year. I plant a late crop of peas after harvest, mulch and amend heavily, and the beds are totally ready for Garlic again in September! Great question though! :-)

@peacefulgarden 3 года назад

Hello Jeff and Co. Another way to preserve garlic deliciously is fermenting it. Just separate and peel the cloves, pop in a jar, add water and salt (about 1 tbsp. per 4 cups of water) put something on top of the water to keep cloves submerged and let sit in a dark corner for a few days. Then keep in the fridge and use like regular fresh garlic. It does become a bit stronger, so use a bit less in cooking. A delicious way to use any garlic which is "less pretty" and may not keep well or to save failing garlic.

Any higher an apparently the plant just keeps growing like normal. The bend doesn't create a kink like a hose and prevent nutrient flow. The bend stops the plant from growing and sending food to its leaves.

Hi there, always fall. 8 weeks before your first fall frost. You want it time to set it roots and then go dormant, but not so much time that it sends up green shoots that are going to perish in the cold. Plant it 1-2 inches deep, with a thick layer of mulch. You should NOT need to water it over winter. When it sprouts in the spring, treat it like any other plant. Harvest right around now.

Hi Christina, I tend to rely on very very rich compost and possibly other amendments at the time of planting, coupled with heavy mulching. If I feel the plants need a boost, it'll be about a month after they've sprouted. So if they are planted in October here, then go dormant, then sprout around March. IF I was feeding them that year, it would be around April or May. :-)

Ants won't trouble your Garlic and rarely does Garlic get an aphid outbreak, so I wouldn't worry too much about them. Removing straw won't hurt though, so if you want to get rid of them, disrupting the home is the easiest way.
