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.

Doesnt garlic multiply by itsself each year?
I bought garlic from a catalog, planted them in the fall and not one came up. I have to plant in the spring in Iowa and harvest in the fall. They are beautiful bulbs. Where are you located and what kind do you plant? Thank you.
l use a 2 inch paint brush to clean the soil off
I like your presentation style, not too much fluffy stuff. I will look forward to more suggestions. Hi from Oz!
We have so much garlic that we put it in piles. I spreads easily with those nodes on the main bulb. We harvest it whenever we want, early or late. When taken early some of the stalk can be used as one would a leek.

Hey I'm new here. This was really good. I planted my garlic for the 1st time this year. I planted it in March. I hope it still turns out. I guess it's a learning year for me. God bless you and yours
You are one beautiful person
Hi, first time listener. Question: is it ok to dry in clumps of 4 or 5 or do you recommend sperating each? Thanks, marty
Let me tell ya a secret, garlic is a perennial plant! I leave a patch of four square meters every year untouched in the ground, if you do that the next year you'll have shoots ready to plant as well as seed when the garlic flowers towards the end of its cycle. If you leave a patch like that it will become a mother constantly providing you with shoots for planting year after year, never having to save cloves for seed, the patch will double up every year so make sure you pick your shoots!
Dont forget to harvest the scapes. Ooh so yummy!
Really great explanation!! Very helpful thank you!!
Oh! Another "cure in the dark" veggie?? Ack!! I've cured mine in my tiny greenhouse, as it was the only dry "storage" place I have. I don't have a place that's dark to cure things, which is why I no longer grow potatoes….
Thank you for this video. Now I know how to harvest and cure my garlic. Succinct and to the point.
I live in Michigan and planted some old garlic I had laying around today. Will they be ok or should I pull them out and wait a couple more months to plant them?
wished you had shown more on stringing on the fence….for an idea of how close to place bulbs…
I washed my garlic when I pulled it out today. Hope I did t ruin it! I waited 11 months for it to grow.
garlic is a herb….. my bulbs were small this year- I have no clue where I went wrong….

I stager mine in bunches of 5-6 and hand them on my porch out of rain and sun. My shed's too hot…
The weather in Malaysia is hot and rainy all the year round. If not every day then it rains the next day when the temperature is a little higher. Can garlic be grown here and how long does it take to get the crop ready from cultivation? Please reply
O
Garlic greens are better than garlic and you can harvest them any time. It is cut and regrow.
