How to Braid (Tie) Hard Neck Garlic 

Sweet! I accidentally planted a ton of hard neck varieties thinking that I'd be braiding garlic all summer long. I didn't know that softneck was typically used. Then i learned from your video that i can "braid" hardneck. So cool!!! Thanks!!

Thank you for this lovely video!!!! And such a nice tip with the lavender, too..

Superb! I love the idea to use hard neck garlic this way and to combine it with lavender! It's simple, stores well, tastes great, smells devine and makes an excellent gift. Thank you very much!

When you are ready to use the garlic from the braids, do you until a few heads at a time? Cut one head off at a time? Thank you!

Thanks for this! I've been looking for a practical way to store our first harvest of hardneck without success - until I found your very helpful video! Pretty tie-up with the lavender too.

This was such a helpful, easy video. Thanks so much! About to bunch up my hard-necks (northern hemisphere!) and this made it so easy! I also plan to add rosemary as a decorative feature. I figure rosemary will gradually dry out and smell nearly as lovely as lavender. Thank you from NZ.

Lovely. Nice work. I'm a blueberry and garlic farmer on Vancouver Island. I appreciate your hard work.

Thank you to share your knowledge. I will braid a part of my harvest like this. I grow garlic and others vegetables in eastern Québec, Canada.

This is a great video - I was wondering how long you had let the garlic dry before braiding them.

Our climate is quite hot here and it only take 3-5 days. It cleans up really nice at that point! Don't let it go much more than a week (unless you have high humidity) because you could break the neck of the garlic! Have Fun!!

I’m a new sub. I love your videos and presentation. Thank you and Good Day to YoU🌻

Thank you so much for this great idea, I just made 3 pieces and they look great!! Greetings from Denmark

Thank you! This was really well done and easy to follow.

That was very helpful, thank you for this video!! :)

Thanks for the video Ali! Would you try them before you braid them? I may have missed that part 😂

thanks for sharing. Beautiful, clever and simple; I was also wondering how long you dried your garlic before braiding, if at all

Nice work like me

Wonderful thanks !!!

Nice tutorial. I'm glad to know there's a way to do this, with the hardneck varieties. Is the lavender also cured/dry, so you don't pack moisture between the bulbs? Also, I don't have lavender, but I have lots of sage and yarrow. while they wouldn't be culinary, they dry well and would look pretty. Would there be any drawbacks, to using those instead?(They are strongly aromatic. Would that affect the flavor of the garlic, over time? Since lavender is pretty strong, I'm thinking the others might be okay.) My garlic is cured and ready to store, so I might try a hand at this tomorrow.

Very nice,thank you:)

so pretty (:

Thanks!!
