All about growing garlic. When and how to plant, cutting scapes and a neglected garlic raised bed. Also the difference between hardneck and softneck garlic. Garlic is the easiest plant to grow EVER!. Note: Some of the clusters have come from the bulb splitting rather than just the seeds dropping.

Gilroy (yes Christopher ranch) is Northern California about an hour and half South of San Francisco. Fun festival

Garlic pest hahaha...GREAT video! I'm in South Carolina...I guess oct is the best plant time for me. Where do you buy your organic bulb?? Im seeing places online selling them in 1/2 lb quantities. I'm growing in containers so I feel that would be too much. Your thoughts?

Can't you separate and replant to get garlic cloves? Very nice video. You explain things clearly. Peace be with you..................Miss Jeri

Why do you take the biggest one? Will that increase the probability of getting bigger and bigger bulbs?

I have termite issues where I'm at and I use cinder blocks for my raised bed

learned a lot on this video... 👍👍👍 thanks😉

wow a lot of knowledge off one video thanks : )

Your enthusiasm is infectious. Thanx for the video.

Thank you for sharing your knowledge and insight! May God bless and smile upon you always!

Awesome information. I can't wait to try this in the Fall. I'm a new veggie gardener and have a tremendous amount to learn.

I planted the garlic that I got last year from the Gilroy Garlic Festival which is held every year in Gilroy, Ca. I am in No. Ca. (Berkeley, Ca.) and I planted it in the clay soil that is prevalent here but I also added a lot of compost. Oh yes I planted in October too and it was the first time I planted Garlic and it is doing well. If you ever go to the Gilroy Garic Festival beware of the heat! It was 85 degrees when I was there. And I did try the Garlic Ice Cream but I didn't care for it. I guess it's an "acquired taste."

Been growing garlic for12-15 years and I also plant only in fall. Twice planted in spring,it came up quickly and then died out in less than a month.Yep, plant only in fall.I live 5 mi. south of L. Erie in north central Ohio.

i have just started my garlic in side its still frosty at night some times. Its bin less then a week and i already have about 3 inches growth on some. i planted all cloves from two bulbs. i mixed my organic soil with seed starting soil because i am planting in bins. They are growing vary fast.

I've only spring planted my garlic once and it was a total failure. I always fall plant my garlic and by June I've got big, beautiful bulbs. Maybe it's your zone?. I have not done it in 5a

yeah, if you spring plant and harvest in the summer- it'll look like that. That's why you're supposed to harvest in the fall. I planted in mid-spring and harvested a few days ago (mid oct), and got perfect hard neck garlic bulbs. This/next year, I'll do 50/50, but I never had luck planting in the fall (zone 5a)

I'm planning to plant garlic for the first time. This was a very informative video. Thank you.

I tried garlic last year with a little success. I bought bulbs from a seed catalog; they were soft neck. By the way I am also zone 7. This year I picked up a couple bulbs at a local veggie stand that had grown their own; they are hard neck. I am thinking and hoping a different type that knows the climate might do better. I will let you know. Thanks for the info..

I'm researching how to grow garlic and your video came up. You did a very thorough job presenting the info. I live in So Cal and would like to try planting some now just to see how it does through the winter. I'll let you know how it goes. Thanks for sharing your knowledge and experience!

Nice video about garlic. I agree, garlic is so easy and fun to grow and great to dehydrate for use all year round : )
