I'd love some feedback on this type of video. Do you enjoy gardening advice in VLOG format, where you get to see how most thing actually get done around here? Or do you prefer very informational teaching presentations that could possibly be a bit shorter? I've done both kinds of videos, and I'd love to hear your preference!
Oh your little sweet boy…mine was like that and then he got big…He's still the best
Just don't get to be with him enough….he's a busy guy
Sweet kitty..my son's name is George..your kitty looks like my Bob
How did your garlic do last year? I'm thinking of picking up some organic garlic to try, zone 6a
How did these turn out by not placing in the freezer first? I’m a couple hours south from you in Arkansas and considered zone 8. Thanks
Great video. Was there a follow up video? How did your garlic do?
oh my goodness he is so cute! You're such a patient parent with a "helper", such a great example. Adorable.
How did it turn out?
I don't think Elephnt garlic is really garlic
Will keep trying to grow garlic. I’m green because of your garden space. Couldn’t care for that much, You are well blessed. Your helper is the best.
please don't breathe into the camera so much
Have you tried Black Garlic? My niece loves it, says it has a smoky flavor?
With this whole covid thing, we cook at home often BUT ……… we ended up with garlic that sprouted. Planted it, along with cloves that have NOT sprouted and we are off to a good start. We will see ! ** i did plant as a strategy, based on what will deter bugs/animals So not really a pressing issue for me. I will try and remember to update progress.
Yes, Garlic from the supermarket was very easily planted by me 9 weeks ago in a large 20" pot full of seed starter potting soil. Have not harvested yet but it is surviving 95 degree weather and thunderstorms and I may get a harvest next year or earlier? Have no idea which variety I got. The one bulb I divided up and planted most of, cost a buck. I am in central Florida North of Orlando. I have a tiny yard with not opportunity for an in-ground garden due to HOA.
God Bless YOU Jess! Your videos are so inspiring to me, they make me smile and I learn so much! Thank you!
Oh geeze Jess, I'm watching this older video and as soon as Kitten George came on the screen I was instantly in tears! Im so glad you have these memories of him to look back on! ❤
I'm getting ready to plant my garlic and happily came across your video with your outrageously darling Ben. First, people will tell you that elephant garlic isn't really garlic, but who cares? It's something new to try. There is an annual Elephant Garlic Festival in North Plains, Oregon, except for this, the year of Covid. It's a fun festival with elephant garlic used in ways you probably wouldn't think of…garlic lemonade, garlic ice cream. Even when it's not great, or even good, it's fun. I hope that you ended up enjoying your garlics, even the elephant garlic. thanks for your wonderful videos.
Love your channel
I have been vacationing in northern Arkansas with my 89 year old mother.
She keeps looking for peoples gardens and looking for produce stands for tomatoes. I keep telling her we need to visit you for a tomato sandwich. Lol keep on blessing and may your family always be blessed as well
I love that Ben confirms that you’re right… it does smell amazing! Super cute!
I am not certain why, but in Alaska soft neck does not work.
About to plant garlic myself so I checked back to your older videos. Oh KG, you are missed! ❤️❤️❤️
I just recieved my garlic and its Nov 6th. Should I plant it or save it for next year? I live u. Zone 7b and we will pro6have frost before 25 days. Thanks
Do you always buy seed garlic? Or do you plant cloves from the garlic you grow yourself? if you plant your own how do you store it until planting time?
Elephant garlic is actually a type of leek. It looks like a large clove of garlic but really isn't. This is why they don't have the classic garlic flavor.
Love your videos!!
I love kitten George ❤❤
came in search of information on how to plant garlic and oh my Ben was teeny!
