We have tried garlic in the past however we have never got any results until now. Last October we planted in October and it was the first plant to come through in spring. So with the stems leaning over it was time to see what the bulbs where like and then I planted salad rocket, mustard greens and radish immediately after harvesting to get another crop from the same area of ground.

New to HuwsNursery? ๐
My name is Huw Richards, I live in Wales, UK and I am a teenager who loves vegetable gardening. Unusual right? I love to teach people around the world about growing their own food organically and my end goal is to get as many children as possible to have the experience of growing food which I believe is one of the most important things a child could learn.

Great garlic harvest, Huw!
Nice
Super harvest Huw, my garlic was a bit smaller this year as for the first time it had rust, so I pulled a little earlier. My failure two years running is purple top turnip. I love it but for two years it has flowered, any tips Huw would be great. Planted in different parts of the garden. I am in Middlesbrough, so weather here not fantastic to say the least.
Porque no los dejas que se sequen los tallos para cosecharlos, saludos desde el Sur de CHILE …
great harvest man, only one piece of garlic grows into big garlic bulb
had to open this video again as i forgot to like it, great work keep it up.
Can you do an update on your berries, Goose rasp straw the whole lot.
I agree about sharing! My goal in growing is to not only have enough to feed my family, but to share with others.
Roast Garlic in oil, and spread on crusty bread. You'll go through lots of garlic that way. ๐ We had to plant extra for that very dish.
Nice harvest Huw. Not sure if I missed it, which variety was it?
My normal garlic was rubbash this year, elephants were good though. Win some lose some eh!
I feel your happiness, Huw. I, too, had a wonderful garlic harvest for the first time. I have done what you said with planting greens in its place for fall harvesting. Thanks for sharing.
(3:43) "The great thing about growing your own food, if you have an excess, is you want to share what you have. I think that's a really key value."
Hear! Hear! And of course your videos are another great example of sharing! I suggest that freely sharing one's abundance in all things, when and where one can, would help our society to achieve far better results in all things.
Thanks for all of your videos!
I must be getting better at this malarky – last week I harvested my garlic, this week I sowed salad leaves and radishes in the same space! and today I have seedlings! wahay!
Very nice looking harvest of garlic. Been told in our area that is a must to plant in late fall so that the season is long enough to grow them. Trouble with being in the foothills of Alberta.
Great looking garlic!
Good video, as always…I feel like I've watched you grow up!
Thank you for your efforts…they are much appreciated, and always helpful.
what variety of garlic?
Great video Huw, that garlic looks really healthy and a decent size. Great that you are prepared to share it. Take care. Nick
Love your enthusiasm with all you do… and your knowledge so helpful. .. I agree about sharing. … so important to do this. .. thanks for this great video. ..
I "clicked" the notification Bell for your channel, (I had already subscribed a while back) but I do not want to miss a video ๐ Thanks for making really enjoyable videos – I always learn something or am greatly Encouraged to get out there and Garden! Sharing your Gardens excess, is such a kind sentiment, we used to have friends that did this with their excess and we were able to share berries back that they did not grow – it was special for everyone ๐ One other idea for making sure you keep enough garlic on hand for your needs, is chopping the garlic (very small) and putting in a glass jar and cover over with Olive Oil – let it sit for at least 4 days before using. It lasts great and makes it really handy for a lot of uses. Whether you want a small jar or larger jar, is totally up to you – works beautifully either way. Thank You again for this timely video as I am making plans for Fall Planting – and by the way, you can't remind us to succession plant too many times – I want that thought to become second nature ๐
hi huw is it too late to put in garlic now , how long does it take to grow
I fail on garlic every time, for some reason the plant doesnt grow big enough and so the bulb is also small
I love sharing the food I grow. but garlic is the one thing that I spend a lot of money on I can buy huge containers of already peeled cloves and it is a bucketful and they're gone in 2 weeks! it helps my immune system and some of the health issues I have. We crave it so I could never ever have enough I suppose people can smell that too but that's okay. I'd rather smell garlic than true bad breath any day! Thank you for your great videos living in Washington state in the u.s. I think we have more of a similar environment for growing. where most places are warmer and a little more tropical for lack of better words. I think we have somewhat similar weather. So you helped me a lot more than some of the channels I really like but just don't live in that kind of environment. sorry for the long-winded message. I can erase it later after you read it.
Friend can you teach us how to grow carrots …
Congrats on your yield. I think sometimes it just depends on the variety you choose as to how your success may go. For example, some varieties are more tolerant toย damp soil, and make claim to be more resistant to rust, etc. The garden looks phenomenal as usual. What large Nasturtiums!!
In love watching your videos.
What garlic do you use?
Beautiful garlic. I suppose garlic is not used much in the UK, because our family would go through that harvest in about 2 months or less.
You could make a huge jar of pickled garlic if you have too many ๐ itโs delicious and you can use the vinegar afterwards which tastes Spicey and unique
Can you eat the green stems and still dry the garlic bulbs?
