VIDEO: Why You Should Harvest Garlic in May


Today’s video shares a way that we can enjoy garlic from our garden around 12 weeks before the main harvest, as well as the 3 main types of harvests we can get from this wonderful crop! I hope that this gives you lots of ideas and helps you have a more strategic approach to growing garlic next season and help make you even more self-sufficient in this crop, and gives you a really luxury ingredient during the hungry gap and already start your second crops of the season in May!

  1. Thx Huw you’ve answered a question for me! I’ll remove the volunteer garlic from the bed where tomatoes will be planted and construct a poly tunnel over top. Potato spring garlic soup tonight!

  2. Great advice, just about to start pulling some young garlic. The whole bulb crushed turns into juice, is sweet & doesn't get that awful burnt garlic effect.

  3. Hi Huw after watching one of your videos about planting diagonally last year, I did it with with my onions last season, you had sketch of a straight planted bed against diagonal planted could you put a link to the video please thanks Steve

  4. Awesome video! Going out back to pick some for compound butter right now! I also like to chop and ferment my green garlic with ginger and some dried red chiles, mix with some olive oil and lemon zest, then use as a condiment for grilled meats.

  5. Hi Huw! I'm sure this has been asked before, but do you and Sam have any plans to start a cooking channel featuring the food you grow (ie what you have on the blog but video form)? I'd subscribe in an instant.

  6. Your laughter is so heartwarming 😀 thanks for brightening up my day 🙂 would love to see more of your outtakes like this or like the video on Liz´ channel when she tried to say her outro 😀

  7. I haven't laughed so hard in ages, thank you so much, not just for the quality of information and ideas but for pure entertainment value as well. Huw, you are such an inspiration. Thank you.

  8. did the sheep object to that recipe or what? lolz. On a separate note, the production value on your videos is quite high: so many angles, perspectives, cuts and high quality sounds and video, amazing.

  9. Or if you always plant too much garlic, this looks like a great way to trim it down. That garlic butter looks delicious. I think I'll try it. I always plant too much hard neck garlic and it ends up going bad before we use it up which is always sad.
