WOW. About all I can say to this year’s garlic harvest. Check out our new clothing line! http:www.freshpickedapparel.com
Question: Is it beneficial to cut the escapes when they appear to promote the growth of the garlic head and when is the best time to do it?
I have good crops of volunteer Elephant garlic, in dominantly clay soil. They make HUGE cloves, but my question is…since these are volunteers from dropped seed, as I don't cut off blooms, how on earth do these plants wind up 6-8 inches deep in mostly clay soil????
Hi Luke
I live in zone 3B, very cold area. I really want to grow garlic this fall… can I use grass clippings and dried leaves to mulch? When should I mulch? Do I need to water the soil after I plant them? Thx you in advance
Do you have a waiting list? I seem to remember a video from last year or the year before saying we could get on a list to get the garlic.
If you want big bulbs why don't you plant elephant garlic
I love how excited you get as if your still a new grower. I have only been growing for about 2 years since we bought our house. I have started orange trees from seed and always am so excited to see what grows even though it drives my husband crazy because I always show him pictures. I love your videos.
Welcome to the South!
You were mentioned on James Prigeoni video lol.
Hmmmm. Why not let the skinny ones go longer? And pick the obviously large ones.
do you sell veg or just grow and eat it all???
Hotter and muggier than Satan's armpit. I haven't been to Michigan but you'd be hard pressed to beat Houston.
In Permaculture gardening, you learn to also strategically place your garlic, onions, & chives around your plants that you need to deter pests from the most. I border all my gardening areas with garlic and onions. They WILL grow just about everywhere. I get heads this size in Missouri (with our really hard nasty clay soil) in areas wehre the sopil has not been ammended with anything. I only put them in ammended beds when they are there specifically as a pets deterent. They don't even need all that soile ammending.
Hello MIgardener, I am planting garlic in 30 inch long plastic containers in potting soil mixed with compost and trifecta plus. I am in zone 6a. Do you think the plastic containers will work over the winter? Thank you in advance for your response.
Other than the scape, are the remaining greens edible as well? What do you do with the green tops after harvesting the bulbs?
Planting my 2020 garlic in mid October at 2" spacing. I live in the Philadelphia area, so similar climate to your garden. Thanks for the helpful videos. Will harvest in 2021, probably in July. I always watch your videos several times.
Do you always plant all your garlic together? Does this give you a better yield? I was thinking I needed to use garlic for companion planting to ward off bugs near my tomatoes so I didn't think I would use a whole bed for my garlic…but now I am not sure!?!?!
Can you eat the soft neck tops?
I just planted my Garlic today here in Phoenix Arizona.
Giant bulb how big will it grow next year?
Last yr I try new think, I plant many little florets sets and corner ,you know elephant garlic gets on roots,also I have very small full heads and I plant them hole heads. So I’m in garden today all coming, looking good,we’ll see at end of the season.I’m in Vermont zone 4-5, only hard neck garlic here. Onions coming also from last yr, hope they grow bigger.Also I making pesto from scapes and marinade them,sooo super good.
One think I like to try this fall with garlic is I see on one Russian site it’s call 2 tier planting garlic,you put one clove little dipping and put second on top,so when you harvest they both grow good size.You may try and see if you like, I’m going to try this fall definitely.
what happens if you plant garlic in the same planter every year?
It's wonderful seeing how happy you are with your harvest! I planted garlic for the first time last November in zone 4b – I'm praying for a bountiful harvest as well! Planted a hard-neck variety. So far the greens sure do look beautiful so we'll see!

Wow !!! what kind of garlic do I need to buy for the soft neck variety ?
This got me so excited! I think my garlic is ready to pick! Excited to see your garlic harvest for 21
I put my garlic in (WI) AFTER the first frost. My garlic is beautiful.
No politicians in your garden. (vampires)
Great job! Does it make sense to harvest both soft neck and hard necks in a Zone 5 A because we have short, very humid summer seasons up here but also cool spring and autumn season as well. Also, does it make any difference if we harvest during a certain time of the day like early morning hours or late afternoon time ?
Thank you!
I always mince up the small heads in a food processor with a little olive oil, it helps the shelf life and you have a nice fresh bottle of spoonable garlic for cooking in a quick pinch.
Oh Luuuuke, there's a cabbage moth taunting and photobombing you.
