When I first began gardening, my biggest question with garlic was knowing when it was ready to harvest.
In this video, I show you the signs your garlic is ready to harvest. Plus, I give some other tips on harvesting, storing, and curing garlic so you can use yours for months.

Hi there ! Enjoyed this video - My husband was a farmer in his 20s and early 30s He made a suggestion- He said to let you know to hang your garlic upside down- with the green stems hanging down- This helps to draw the moisture out of the bulbs.. he says that if you hang them with the bulb down, you’ll have moisture running down from their stems into the bulbs, thus causing a longer dry out time .. or cure .. he says they’ll eventually dry out either way- but wanted to make sure you know it’s helpful to hang them upside down. Loved your video!!

@tmh3929 5 лет назад

I agree with you. Also, Why cannot we cut the stem and let the bulb to dry ? I think we can eat the stems too then. Do you have any idea?

@ameliatribeofissachar7311 5 лет назад

@thebeginnersgarden 5 лет назад

Great idea! I'll have to try that next year. (I just finished curing mine for this season.) Thanks for sharing.

@thebeginnersgarden 5 лет назад

@@tmh3929 From what I understand, it will introduce the possibility of spoilage and will shorten the storage time. If you eat the stems, it might be a better idea to harvest those stems while the garlic is still in the ground, but I'd be careful not to harvest too many. That's just a guess though.

My Father and I have planted the same garlic for over 50 years in PA. Plant in Sept or Oct about 2 inches deep. I use fertilizer about 3,4 inches deep. Occasionally weed in spring and harvest in July. Let dry out away from rain for a week or two. Save some for next year in a dry pretty dark place. It is extremely hardy and grows almost anywhere.

@theondebray 3 года назад

Nice, helpful. I like garlic for many reasons: I underplant my roses and other sensitive / fruiting plants with garlic, helps to keep insect pests & fungal infections at bay. Its a natural antiseptic, eat loads & wound heal better & quicker, as eaten by the resistance forces during WW2, and applied as a mash directly onto wounds (painful). Its good for reducing blood pressure, and improving your complexion. It grows ANYWHERE, so it goes into any little space in my garden, is fully hardy, and no pests attack it (not in my garden anyway). Young garlic is mild, can be used in many ways in cooking, or chopped into salads - as long as your spouse / partner likes it too. Oh and it stops the cat from using newly dug beds for his toilet.

Great tips. I live in northern Ontario where winter temps routinely reach -30 to -40 F. I plant my bulbs on 6 to 7 inch squares and 6 inches deep in late October just before the ground freezes. When the 4 to 5 feet of snow melts in late April or early May, the green tips are already showing through the ground. I cut the stapes off when they are curled, dip them in thousand island dressing and cook on low heat on the bbq. I don't get fancy with mesh gates but I do tie them up in bunches and hang in the wood shed to dry for a couple weeks. After saving the best cloves to plant again, the rest are divided and put in the freezer to use all year. Some are thawed and de-skinned in the fall when I make my sausages from moose, bear or beaver and they are just as good as fresh cloves.

@erinisme633 3 года назад

That sounds amazing! What the heck do moose and bear even taste like though?

@dougadams6808 3 года назад

@@erinisme633 Moose is similar to beef without any fat on it, but fuller flavor. They are poor steaks (no marbling) but great roasts, stew, burger and sausage (with pork or bear, meat & fat from both). An adult moose will give 400 to 500 pounds of meat, boned out or 600+ with bones in. Bear is like dark pork in texture and flavor. Render the fat for lard for pie crusts or in sausage. Again, great stew, roasts and burger. Makes the absolute best lasagna. Steaks are so-so. Beaver is real dark and always tender. It has 5 times the protein of beef. Makes great roasts and stews.

@JanicePhillips 2 года назад

Frozen garlic? Maybe up North of the 49th, but down here in Oklahoma, I don't have the freezer space for garlic. lol If I have any "extra", I'm making my own garlic powder this year! It looks like I'm in for a great harvest for my first growing garlic experience. I've gardened off and on all my life, but now, that it may become a matter of life (or death), I'm growing a lot of things I've never grown before and have even learned to pressure can meats this Spring! It came in very handy for raising two dozen meat chicks and they are AMAZING canned! I was even able to can some deer we had left over from last season, saving it from freezer burn! I love my All-American. I just wish I could afford more mason jars now! LOL I've got to scavenge my barn loft for random boxes of jars before the garden realllllly puts me in the kitchen with the jiggler a'jigglin'.

Mix the greens of the plants with (himalaya) salt in a kitchen machine to a green paste. Put the resulting green paste on a silk screen in a food drier.| When the resulting crusts are completely dry, grind them to powder. I guarantee, you will have need for more of this garlic salt.

I hang my garlic in my greenhouse. I roll shade cloth over top of the greenhouse, then put the tops through the shelves(no empty as plants in the main garden by now) with the bulbs on top of the racks root up. This allows the bulb to dry down faster. It’s warm but shaded. I grow around 150 bulbs every year from several different varieties. If you’re growing hardneck, harvest bulbs 3-4 weeks after you harvest the scapes( flower-bud stems.)

good info. i never knew much about growing garlic and last year i planted a few between my tomatoes because i had heard they help ward off certain pests. well after the heat of summer got going the green tops died off and i pulled a few out of the ground. i thought that was the end of it but come fall's cooler temps and they started growing again. they stayed green all winter and i just dug them up last week. not many and kind of small but this fall i plan to have an area dedicated to just garlic. i knew nothing about curing them but now i do and will use this knowledge next year but this year i did not have enough to worry about storage or anything. i ate one small clove earlier and noticed it much hotter than store bough garlic. in fact it burned my lips like a good hot pepper would. maybe it was because it was fresh but it did have some heat. thanks for the video as i learned something here.

I've also read that, once you've decided it's close to harvest time, stop watering them for about a week. I think the main reasons are that it makes it easy to pull them out and also makes them better suited to storage. No expert, by any stretch, just what I've read.

@AwoudeX 4 года назад

You don't have to wait for the first leaves to die if you're going to use the bulb right away. Also far earlier, you can use the stem instead of the bulb as a fresh and mild garlic addition to your dishes. As for the entire plant going dry: that's fine too as long as the outside layers around the cloves are in tact, which is most of the time. Last but not least, if you need to dig out your garlic, your soil hasn't been made loose enough before planting, or you've got clay that dried up a bit, clay however is not the best soil type for garlic. I've consistently been able to pull out my garlic by the stem with no issues.

@RascalandCrowFarm 2 года назад

I appreciate your comment ... As a Garlic farmer, this is what I know... As we all know, there is a proper time to harvest Garlic for full maturity.... yes, you can harvest garlic anytime before that at any stage... most know that, using it as like a green onion, the whole plant and leaves like a scallion for soups, quiches etc. As for the entire plant going dry.... if that happens "in ground", you "will" have splitting of the bulb making storage life short. That is why you harvest 21 days after scape cutting for a reason, to make sure bulb doesn't split at harvest time. Depending on where you are at and your soil condition and weather conditions in their growing season.... No matter how lose your soil was at planting, quite often the soil will compact around a garlic as the garlic is holding on to the soil to be able to gather nutrients for it's growth. Garlic will always require a slight tug to get out no matter if your soil doesn't have clay in it... it is normal. The problem with pulling the garlic by hand which most people do incorrectly (you should always dig them out), or you will break some of the roots by doing so... By tugging them out, you break some of the roots introducing spores and disease into the bulb at the bottom where the roots attach to the bulb when drying. Hence, you can end up with rot or mildew introduced there as they dry and willl see that as a result on some of your bulbs. For this reason is why you should dig them out to keep all roots intact to prevent the potential of spoiling your bulb as a result when seen after curing at times when you are trimming the roots off. Most Garlic farmers like me, would definitely dig them out to save their crop and product for proper preservation to sell. Farmer's never take the chance of disease to enter their product with such a practice. There are reasons why you should harvest a certain way, that is why research is important to know why these practices are suggested to help us in the garden or farm. As for softneck varieties, as well as Turbans (who rarely grow scapes), these garlic varieties won't give you scapes and you should keep almost all of the leaves intact for braiding to store. You can harvest them early if you want like any other garlic for fresh use of course like any other garlic. Hope this helps... Kind Regards

Yes, on the opposite northern corner of the country, that's about what I expect, also, from fall-planted. Perhaps it's just the red variety that I grow, but I also can't depend just on the lower leaves getting brown--I would be harvesting very immature garlic every year. I am getting scape development around that time, which get trimmed off and used, and then it's about another month or so before the plant shows signs of die-down and it's ready.
