How to Gow Garlic in Warm Climates. Vernalising the Cloves.
Vernalising Garlic is a great way to get your plants off to a great start if you live in warmer climates like we do. We don't get the chill that other areas get to help kick their garlic off I decided to vernalise (chill) the majority of our seed garlic.
Am glad I did as they are already out preforming the traditionally planted cloves & think that this will be my preferred method of preparing seed garlic from now on.
Most have gone into the soil, some into the aquaponics & the rest will be planted into the straw bale bed out the front. Hope to get to that in the next day or so.
Hope you enjoyed the clip & your gardens are booming.
Cheers all,
Rob

I live in the Caribbean,is it okay to water it with cold water?

@RobsAquaponics 11 лет назад

So far all the vernalised is kicking the butt of the un vernalised... Checked again today & we have loads more popping up in the barrels & garden bed down the back John... Fingers crossed it translates into a better harvest as well.. :) Have a great one Sir :)

@stevehei8035 4 года назад

Rob, I actually take the bulbs and place them in a wet paper towel in a Tupperware container for about three to four days and the will sprout without refrigeration, then plant them in soil. Have not tried my media bed in Aquaponics yet, maybe this fall. I do know that the bulbs you plant must be the largest which yield larger bulbs. Have a blessed day!

@RobsAquaponics 4 года назад

Cheers Steve & happy growing. 👍

Great video on giving the garlic a time out in the fridge. I love the test videos to see what may work best and then the after vids to see how it turned out. Thanks for showing us the results. Best to you, Kim

@RobsAquaponics 8 лет назад

Thanks Kim. Missed my window this year so they went in a bit late :/ Still hoping we get a ½ decent crop though. Cheers.

@JimTcarver 11 лет назад

I did this with our garlic this year and its looking great.

@DaleCalderCampobello 11 лет назад

I think that explained why our garlic doesn't pop up in the fall when we plant it I always worry that it will and keep checking. Mine went in in mid October and is just coming up now, since the ground thawed up. LOL We also plant ours a lot deeper that you did mine is down 3 or 4 inches.

@BerlinAquaponics 11 лет назад

Very impressed with your soil program! You've got your ducks in line.

@RobsAquaponics 11 лет назад

Might come in handy there indeed.. Ours are still out preforming the non chilled bulbs.. Have a good one :)

@nanibush14 10 лет назад

Thank you sooooooo much for posting this!!! I live in Costa Rica & haven't had much success with my garlic attempts....looking forward to planting the organic garlic I just put in the fridge!!!

@RobsAquaponics 10 лет назад

Hi there :) Hope the grow well for you.. I have 3 more bulbs in the fridge I should be planting out today... Getting the main crop in a month late here :/ Cheers, Rob..

@RobsAquaponics 11 лет назад

Planted the bale garden out today so I hope to have a clip up in the next day or so.. Have a good one :)

@BrianS2464 11 лет назад

It does. From the sound of it the seasons are very similar.

@Justaz 11 лет назад

Thanks for this video. My garlic has been hit or miss, so I'll try chilling it first. Looking forward to updates.

@RobsAquaponics 11 лет назад

:D Was uploaded very late last night after a dud version was put up first :) Thanks Luke.. Last years harvest was ½ decent but I have a feeling this years will be much better.. Have a great one :)

@RobsAquaponics 11 лет назад

I also hope it might keep some of the pests away as well.. Planted out some more in the straw bale bed & another at the back of the patch this afternoon.. Hopping to get a bumper crop out of it this year.. Hope your having a good start to the season..

@groovesme 11 лет назад

The garlic I companion planted with my fruit trees is doing great. I think it is about ready to harvest several of the heads. I agree that vernalising them really helps. I have some in the fridge getting ready to get put out in fact. I'm not certain how well they will do as it will be in the 40-50C range but I want to give it a try.

@RobsAquaponics 11 лет назад

No problem Pete.. Would probably do quite well in that little greenhouse.. Have a good one..

@jamesmartinez1980 11 лет назад

Nice hat. Thanks

@frederickjohnh 6 лет назад

Vernalisation = placing the garlic in the refrigerator for 4-8 weeks below 10 Celsius / 50 Fahrenheit to simulate winter.

@RobsAquaponics 11 лет назад

I am going to save some seeds from a plant & will be planting them out.. I have been told that it can take up to 2 years to get a decent size bulb when you grow from seed so will be interesting to see how they go.. That might also depend on the climate & variety grown too.. Thanks :) Rob

@RobsAquaponics 11 лет назад

I am going to put the bulbs we have left in the pantry into the fridge & will be planting a few out every month or so just to see how it goes.. I have been told that it will still grow but the bulbs just won't grow as large.. Will be good to see how yours go in the heat as they will cop it before mine..

@honeybacres 11 лет назад

It will be interesting to see how this works for you Rob. We have a pretty cold winter here and do pretty well with garlic but maybe next season I will have try vernalising some garlic and see if it makes any difference.

@FensterfarmGreenhouse 11 лет назад

I vernalize all of my seeds. I never knew it was called vernalization though? I just did it because my grandmother always did it. Chuck

@RobsAquaponics 11 лет назад

I have met others that do it as well Chuck.. Might read up on a few other plants & see if I could get some better germination rates..

@RobsAquaponics 11 лет назад

:O That's a bit of a wait to see some action Dale.. Glad mine don't take that long as I couldn't help but dig down & have a peek every few weeks :D Have a great one sir..

@RobsAquaponics 11 лет назад

Thanks for that... Garlic will still split if it isn't vernalised I have found... The temperature here never falls low enough to vernalise the cloves in the ground yet we still get get good division so the information he gives might be specific to the varieties he grows in a cooler climate.. Just a side note, elephant garlic isn't a member of the leek family but a close relative to it... Just found that out today :) Hope that helps some & have a great one...

@RobsAquaponics 11 лет назад

Hi Darren... 4-8 weeks is normally recommended at temperatures bellow 10°C/50°F so ours went in the fridge for about 26 days at 4°C/39°F... I overlaid some text at about 45 seconds in... The first time I posted the clip last night ½ the overlaid text was missing so had to reload it :/ Such is... Hope that helps some...

@RobsAquaponics 11 лет назад

Thanks Jo.. Probably not needed in your neck of the woods I would think :) Have a great one yourself...

@RobsAquaponics 11 лет назад

The pipes are to let the water travel down to the reservoir.. The wicking clips show how they are set up & run if that helps... They can be found here PLBcWprMIwYYizRYZra6RRbe_mrPdnXu4G Hope that helps :)

@RobsAquaponics 11 лет назад

I hope so... Would like to improve on last years crop :)

@Sbhabhi 11 лет назад

Please refer - Mid Spring Garden Update............29/5/11 by houndogsteve·31 videos at 2.45 onwards explains beautifully about vernalizing.

@RobsAquaponics 11 лет назад

All that went in there was vernalised Brian... I figured that was the best way to go.. Hope that helps..

@RobsAquaponics 11 лет назад

That would make for a good size system..

@PeteCorp 11 лет назад

I heard if you let some of the garlic flower and set seed, the seed that falls to the ground will produce a bigger bulb year after year, and eventually you will have a bulb bigger than a clove of garlic.

@RobsAquaponics 11 лет назад

Great to hear Jim :) Maybe we can compare harvest :)

@RobsAquaponics 11 лет назад

Hope it works for you... Looks to be the way to go for us so far :)

@RobsAquaponics 11 лет назад

:D Wouldn't think you would have a problem there Larry... Have a good one..

@RobsAquaponics 11 лет назад

Hi Wane.. The pipes are to fill the water reservoir in the base.. All the beds, ½ IBCs & barrels are all wicking beds.. If you enter PLBcWprMIwYYizRYZra6RRbe_mrPdnXu4G into the search bar our wicking bed/barrel play list will come up... The clips in there might give you some more info on them as well.. Hope that helps... Rob

@poupard1000 6 лет назад

I live in Southern California where it doesn't get very cold! I planted garlic last fall and now (in March) I tested one and it has not formed into cloves. I will give them more time but after reading online and seeing your video, I think I will refrigerate the garlic next time to see if that helps. How long did you keep it cold?

@RobsAquaponics 6 лет назад

Hi Robin. 3 weeks if it's a hard neck variety. I've since leaned that daylight neutral varieties sf neck varieties are much better for climates like ours + they don't need to be vernalised. I filmed a clip on it earlier this week & will be editing it when I don't feel so crook. Our daughter has decided to share her cold with us all. 😄😞 Cheers & happy growing.

@poupard1000 6 лет назад

I'll look forward to that clip...get well soon!!

@groovesme 11 лет назад

I only planted about 10 bulbs and I believe only 5 or so survived they were just garlic that had started sprouting and not really an intentional crop. The ones in the fruit trees all are doing great but in the main bed I don't think any of them started. Might have been a pest as they were one of the first thing out in the bed.

@RobsAquaponics 11 лет назад

Shall have a look :)

@RobsAquaponics 11 лет назад

Thanks... :)

@RobsAquaponics 11 лет назад

Tar... Hope it keeps growing his well...

@RobsAquaponics 11 лет назад

:D Must say that I am glad ours needs to go in the fridge to get chilled here... Don't think I could take such low temperatures here ;) Have a great one :)

@RobsAquaponics 11 лет назад

Thank mate :) Hope you find something useful there..

@RobsAquaponics 11 лет назад

Not to sure to tell you the truth.. I know that folks grow it in the tropical regions of Australia by putting it in at the start of the cooler, dry season & then harvest at the start of the warmer wet weather so it doesn't rot when the wet comes.. Singapore is a bit closer to the equator so chilling the bulbs first might be a bit of a must.. Hope that helps a bit & have fun trying, Rob

@karenhobbs3218 7 лет назад

as here in Ecuador so I have indeed been using vernalization. As with your video, so far so good BUT, it certainly needs full sun. I also plant it 3-4 inches deep where the soil is always a wee bit cooler.

@navenab64 9 лет назад

Hi Rob, thank you very much for the post. I was thinking of planting the cloves in soil or water and then moving them into the fridge. Could this speed up the Sprouting?

@RobsAquaponics 9 лет назад

Hi there.. I'm not to sure to tell you the truth.. I think that most of the moisture will be removed from the soil.. Could be worth trying a few of each to see how they go.. Glad you like the clip & have a great one.. Rob..

@RobsAquaponics 11 лет назад

:D Thanks..

@RobsAquaponics 11 лет назад

Cool :) I'm looking for more to plant still :/

@RobsAquaponics 11 лет назад

Thats a great price or the IBCs! How many you getting???

@debbieheath7838 6 лет назад

I'm wondering if you could use vernalization to plant garlic now. I live in Missouri in the U.S. and I'd love to start garlic right now, it's the wrong season to start, I know. Also, can ground soil from my yard work? Just wondering, thanks! Take Care, Amanda

@RobsAquaponics 6 лет назад

Hey Amanda. It depends on the variety & if it had been through a cool winter where it was grown the season before you got the bulbs. You can grow directly in the soil from your yard but I do think that it would pay to add compost to help feed the soil & also to aid in drainage if you plan on growing in containers. Hope that helps some. (Will also post this over on your other comment 😉)

@eatingamandarin 9 лет назад

Rob. Now that it's 2 years after your video post on garlic and vernalising the planting cloves... What are your findings? Did the vernalised cloves produce a seed stem? Or did they simply produce superior bulbs to the non-vernalised?

@RobsAquaponics 9 лет назад

+eatingamandarin Hi there. The vernalised garlic grew a lot better than the un vernalised, larger bulbs & looked to grow a lot faster. None grew scapes that I remember but I think that might just be the variety (Glen Large) we grew. Cheers.

@eatingamandarin 9 лет назад

+RobBobs Backyard Farming Thanks Rob. The Glen Large variety you grow... When do you plant and when do you then harvest? You know, how long between planting and harvesting? Is there a difference in days from planting to harvest, between the vernalised and non-vernalised?

@RobsAquaponics 9 лет назад

+eatingamandarin We plant them out here in SE QLD at the end of march & normally harvest at the end of October or early November. If the plants look like they're done & start to die off I'll pull them earlier. Time in the ground will vary between different climates I think. Haven't noticed much difference other than the vernalised look to bolt out of the gate faster & have more vigour. Still harvested them at the same time as the non vernalised from memory. Cheers.

@eatingamandarin 9 лет назад

+RobBobs Backyard Farming So you grow garlic through your winter, and harvest in your spring? Interesting! About how many good size cloves do you find in your bulbs?

@darrenrobinson9483 11 лет назад

Hi Rob just wondering do you place the bulb in the fridge or freeze and for how long. thanks

@iklutz88 11 лет назад

Hey Rob, Hugo here again, what are the black pipes inside of the wicking barrels for? Thanks for the growing tips once again.

@knix4273 Год назад

To top up the water well at the bottom of the pot

@BrianS2464 11 лет назад

Did you put any vernalized in the aquaponic bed?

@1CTS442 6 лет назад

have had infestation of black aphids and I have tried quite a few remedies with no luck and lost two patches of garlic.

@michellebarnhill7947 6 лет назад

I saw your comment about aphids...I just learned spraying on cow milk will keep them off!

@jetspray3 8 лет назад

The Garlic that you vernalized, did you put it in water or did you just put it like that in the refrigerator.

@RobsAquaponics 8 лет назад

Hi Dwayne. I just had it in a sealed container mate. Kept it in the crisper down the base where it doesn't get quite as cold as the top shelves. Cheers mate.

@Lissajayne75 10 лет назад

Hi Rob, how long did you leave the garlic in the fridge for?

@RobsAquaponics 9 лет назад

Hi Melissa & am so sorry for missing your post.. I think ours went into the fridge for about 3-4 weeks.. Hope that helps you out some.. Rob..

@Lissajayne75 9 лет назад

No worries Rob :). Thanks for the reply.
