VIDEO: How to Plant Late Season Garlic
It is fall garlic season, and while we are a bit late, it’s better late then never!
I haven't planted mine either, had to clean out a bed…so hopefully this weekend.
Congratulations on the baby! I’m done 10b so I’ll be planting garlic in a week or two. Ordered a bag ty
I am planting 6 types of garlic tomorrow. this video came just in time!
I hope you share your 'bulb plus' recipe since you won't be making any more.
Excellent.
Planted elephant garlic outside a couple weeks ago. Planted some cloves and the corms inside for green garlic over the winter.
Oh goody!! Judging by the comments, I'm not the only one who's running behind on the garlic! Lol I was afraid I was too late and would have to wait till Spring.
Question though: what if my soil isn't top notch? I don't have any compost at the moment.
Congrats on the birth of your son. First year for us growing garlic, but the friend who gave us the garlic tells us now is the best time to plant it here in Iowa Zone 5a. The idea is get it in early enough to allow some root growth, but not so early as to lose too much in top growth during warm spells before the cold settles in.
I live in Southwestern Oregon and I'm wondering how moist the soil should be over winter?
Some garlic I left in this summer has sent up shoots about 10-12 inches tall. Will it hurt to cut them off for green garlic before they freeze. The cold will kill them anyway. Might as well eat them right?
I haven’t planted yet myself here in MI. Doing it this weekend!
Awe! Congratulations Luke and Cindy and daughter! : )
I just planted my garlic for the first time last weekend. Washington state. Could/Should I top dress with some of the bulb+? Also how long is the efficacy? Will it be good to get now for next year?
Really beautiful soil there. And congrats on your son!
awesome Luke glad your able to plant your garlic I planted my garlic a couple of days ago
I just planted my garrlic late last week in Monroe County, MI. I blame you and others I follow for being tardy. I've learned so much about succession planting; extending the season — still crops in the space so late! Finally chopped off the tomato and pepper plants. I love having garlic coming alive while still having photosynthesis from still growing chives, carrots, parsnips, swiss chard and… is that second generation Borage coming up, lol? Add some late planted pea pods and greens (salad., WOW!). I'm waiting a wee bit more before insulating with leaves and sunflower, popcorn stalks since I'd like to to see a bit more cover crop growth first to help out my friends below the surface with some late season root exudates.
Thanks, Luke and Family!
Thank goodness for this video. First time gardener and I was afraid I'd missed it. Thanks for ?permission? to be late on planting.
I just purchased 4 bags of the Bulb fertilizer. Looks like a great mix of natural ingredients!
I planted allium bulbs, the decorative kind, in the middle of winter last year. Granted, it was somewhat warm for a winter day. They still did quite well the following spring.
Congrats to you and your wife Luke!! Just placed my order. I have my garlics ready to be planted so this is perfect.
Do you buy organic animal bedding?
I just planted my garlic today. The cloves were just getting green tips, so they knew it was time. Last year, I felt like I planted too early, because it was growing too much.
I was cleaning out tomato plants and I buried some squash vines growing there in trenches in the next bed over. In my gut I felt like it was the day to continue on the bed I just cleaned up and plant the garlic. I peeled back the straw on the surface and loosened the soil. I placed my cloves where I wanted them, and then I dumped a little pile of compost soil on top of each one. Then I pulled the old dry straw back over them and added a good layer more of some wet straw that was still baled, but had been sitting out. I didn't put anything else special on them, but I think they'll do fine. I did not water today, because the compost soil and the bale straw were moist.
Then I covered the bed with some plastic webbing to keep the birds and squirrels out. Last year I had to replant bulbs constantly, so I am not letting them get away with it this year. 🙂
Just planted 155 cloves but ordered your bulb+ to sprinkle on them.
Congratulations! I am so excited for you. Thank you for this video. It is nice to hear words of encouragement. Life just gets in the way sometimes.
Just ordered my Bulb+
im so behind too! I was waiting for my melons to finish! HAHA
