- ITS TIME TO HARVEST MY GARLIC. WATCH AS I SHOW YOU THE RESULTS!
This is a variety called Hardneck garlic. It has a better flavor than the white garlic sold in stores. Growing it is easy, just watch my videos on how I do it.
Pulled all my garlic two days ago probably over a hundred heads some small some pretty good-sized I think I need to start side dressing as you do all the way from Yakima Washington. Keep the videos coming learning a lot from you sir.
Love your repurpose of the old mattress to a drying rack will have to try that someday myself.
Hello and welcome to my videos. I feel that side dressing, with whichever fertilizer you use, is important. Please subscribe.

I am really enjoying these videos. Thank you for leaving them up for us to learn from him. God Bless.
Great searies on the garlic OAG thanks for sharing :-) here in New Zealand I planted my clove segments 1 week ago and green sprouts are showing on some :-) sheep droppings for fertilizer
Hello and welcome to my videos. Your seasons are at a different time than mine. Sheep poop is also good fertilizer. Please subscribe.

I never knew about the bulblets! I was always yanking mine up by the stalk! Thank you for your video!
You are welcome.
OAG
Such great information! I always wondered about those little bulblettes when I buy garlic and it has them. Now I know! This is my first year successfully growing garlic. I'm really thankful for your channel. I share it with my gardening friends.

Didnt know about the bulblets. I was always told to plant replant the cloves of your biggest heads. You just plant the bulblets. In planting garlic video you were planting cloves.
The number of leaves indicates the number of wraps surrounding the head. I wait till there are 5 green leaves left to harvest. Handling while harvesting removes a couple wraps leaving 3 good wraps. This is what I read from the book growing great garlic. Will also try drying head up. Always good tips here. Thanks for sharing.
You are right, plant the largest cloves of garlic for your next crop. Apparently not all garlic produces the bulblets. The bulblets will also produce a new head of garlic but probably not as large as would a clove.

Hey OAG 👋 Thanks so much for all three videos of growing garlic. Looking forward to growing our own this year. 🤗
You can do it!
Wow that is just awesome 😊 I have wild garlic, I need to get it up. I’ve never grown garlic, but I’m gonna give it a try now. Thank you, that was very informative 🌻🌻 I always watch for more of your videos 💕🌻
Thank you Sherri. It really is pretty easy to grow.

That is a really great sharing video! Thank you!
Hello TF and thank you.
OAG
That was some great looking garlic! Your video make me want to add garlic to my gardening. Thanks for the tips. God Bless
Hello TN Gardener and welcome to my videos. Give the garlic what it needs to grow and it will do well. About where in TN are you?
OAG
Middle Tn . About 1hr north from muscle shoals,Florenece,AL. Little town call Lobelville.
Thank you for this. It was very timely! We moved onto this property Sept. 1 of last year. Had no idea what was already growing here. Saw these plants growing, but wasn't sure what they were. Once the scapes came up and bloomed, then I knew I had garlic! They were ready to be harvested, but I have had a very busy week that required me to leave the property. I managed to dig them up on July 4 and I noticed those baby bulbs like you described here. Some did stay in the ground, some came up with the mature bulbs. I really don't have a good place to dry the garlic, but I couldn't leave them in the wheelbarrow, so I dumped them on a hill side and spread them out. Hopefully this coming week will be a little less busy so I can clean them up.
Hello HHH and welcome to my videos. I understand you are busy and perhaps moved in late for the garlic. In future garlic growing be sure to cut the scapes as soon as you see them coming. please subscribe.
OAG
Awesome garlic Charles! Thank you for sharing1
Hi Janice. I hope you are doing well. It is really hot here and expected to remain hot for at least the rest of this month.

OAG, I got some yellow squash using your foil method. But the zucchini was a loss. The plant I kept up on my patio is by far the healthiest. I gave them all BT injections. The one on the patio also had SVB but I put it in a tub of water and it’s made a comeback . I started 2 more inside using Hoss seeds- Gold Prize squash. I could see from the get go that these were stronger seedlings. I’m going to keep them on the patio too.
Hello Teija and sounds good for the yellow squash. I don't grow zucchini so I don't have any experience with it.
OAG
Wonderful!
Thank you Michelle.

This is fabulous. I will be planting garlic for the first time in a couple weeks, thank you for sharing your knowledge.
Christine: Did you watch my video on me planting the garlic?
OAG
I'm going to follow your instruction and grow garlic. The spring is when the bulbs come out in the store. Now I know better thanks to you.
As I don't know where you are located, I can't tell you when to plant garlic. But planting at the right time is important.
OAG
I'm in the Western NC mountains zone 7. Spring is when they have the sees bulds in the stores. This never has worked for me. I'm going to plant in the fall and see if I can get results like you.
@@farmergirlofchickens8779 I'll help you. If you would like to communicate via E-mail, put your E-mail address here, I will wait for it, then I will copy it and then remove it.

Is it normal to start gardening as a teen?
Yes, my grandfather started me gardening when I was 8 or 9 years old....I still do it today at 59 years old. He taught me a lifetime of gardening skills.
It is much better for teens and children of any age, than to sit in the house all day playing videos games or watching TV. Gardening teaches so much about life, where our food comes from and how to work. It teaches that what you put into something matters as to what you get out of it. Please subscribe.
OAG
This is a late question. What I'm wondering has to do with the purple seeds in a pod on top of the scape. Can I store them as is for planting or do I need to seperate them and then do something else?
I bought a massive braided string of garlic from a man on the side of the road in Mexico. Unfortunately it was a powderpost beetle bomb waiting to go off.
Interesting.
OAG
I just harvested mine and I did not see any of those side cloves at all. Could it be because I planted soft neck only? I live in California zone 9b and we only get some mild winters so not sure how well the hard neck will do. Very interesting video, I just became a fan. Thank you!
Hello Maricela and welcome to my videos. I am pretty new at growing garlic as this was my first time with it. I think it is only the hardneck varieties that produce the little thumbnail size corms. Thank you for subscribing. I have a lot of videos on gardening and cooking the vegetables I grow.
OAG
What type of garlic is that? I like the red
I think it is some variety of Hard neck garlic. It was given to me by a friend and they did not know the name. Keep watching, more to come!
OAG
I live in zone 7 AL too, and I planted both hardneck (German) and softneck (Italian) this past fall around the end of November. My hardneck looks fine, and bulbs will be ready soon. However, all my softneck split, i.e., a single clove split into multiple stocks, and so no real bulbs are forming. I have no clue why this happened --- some say because of a wet freeze and others say because of too much nitrogen. This was my first year growing garlic in AL as I just moved down from the north (where I only grew hardneck). I thought the softneck would do better because of the heat, but I was really wrong. Next year, I am going to follow your plan. Do you have a favorite type of hardneck?
About where in zone 7 do you live? I think you waited too long to harvest and the cloves started growing again. Depending on where you are located, we have had some early hot weather. Are you in Madison county?
OAG
@@joshuab738 I ask, so I can think about us being in the same climate. This you see me growing here was given to me by a friend. He thought it was garlic, but after growing it, I don't think it is true garlic, I think it is Elephant garlic and I didn't plan to grow it again. However, some came up volunteer this spring and I left it to grow. It is now very large. But, last fall I did plant soft neck garlic (some I bought at Whole Foods store) and it has done well, it is almost time to harvest it. When I do harvest it I will make and upload video of the entire growing process.
OAG
@@OldAlabamaGardener I think you are right that it was elephant garlic (I planted some of that last fall too as a backup). I have never had my hardneck (German) put off corms (the seed pods in the ground) that you had. I think you are right that I waited too long to harvest the softneck though. I will have to try again next year for that. We tend to like the hardneck anyways because my wife likes to "kimchi" the scapes for grilling with beef.
@@joshuab738 Then as you know we have had some unusual weather this spring. Unusually hot for a while and then below normal for a while. Just this week it has finally got close to where we should be for this time of the year. I think your garlic responded to the different weather changes and began to grow again and that is why it produced so many shoots.
OAG
Thank you for this video. I have only been raising garlic for the last 2 years so I had many questions. I have seed pods on mine. Is that a problem? I still haven't harvested mine yet this year so I guess I better get on it
Hello and welcome to my videos. I don't recommend leaving the seed pods on because the plant then diverts energy from making larger cloves to producing seeds. Is it time to harvest your garlic? It depends on where you are located! So, about where are you at? Please subscribe.
OAG
Is your garlic "ORGANIC"? My sister found "WILD GARLIC" around Ashland, Alabama. She brought some home and planted it. When I might ask her to send me some by mail and plant it. She said the "WILD GARLIC" spreads.
You have Beautiful garlic!!! I enjoy cooking with lots of it.
Hello and welcome to my videos. Yes, the larger heads were organic, meaning I used rabbit manure to grow them. The smaller ones were with a commercial fertilizer.
OAG
What if you dont get to dig them. Will they rot over time or get bigger? Thanks for sharing
Angela: Garlic, once it matures, will not get bigger the longer it stays in the ground. What will happen is the garlic will sit in the ground until the next growing season and then begin to grow again. Some may rot, but most will grow again.
OAG
@@OldAlabamaGardener thanks
OAG, I know you don’t have to worry about it because you have your own to start off with but, where do you get the garlic bulbs for planting? Will just buying a bag of garlic gloves grow from the grocery store grow as yours did here? I don’t want to buy it and plant it if it doesn’t have a chance.
I bought organic garlic cloves at a Whole Foods store.
Thank you! OAG
It look to me like what you have there are elephant garlic . And the little once are call elephant garlic corms
Hello and welcome to my videos. I was told this is Hardneck garlic. I will try to confirm. Please subscribe.
OAG
24bidy definitely elephant garlic. A very good producer
Hello OAG! I'm in North AL and am going to try to grow garlic this winter. Where can I get rabbit manure or other manure? Thank you!
Do a Google search on: buy rabbit manure in north alabama
This will bring up some options.
I think it is too early to plant garlic in North Alabama. I suggest 1st week of Nov.
About where in north AL are you located?

@@OldAlabamaGardener I'm in Huntsville
I live in Michigan when do I plant my garlic ???
When is your first frost in the autumn? Back up 30 days from that and plant the garlic. Please subscribe.
OAG
How much watering does garlic need?
If you get rains regularly that should be enough. If it isn't raining then water once a week. Unless you have sandy soil, then more water is needed.
OAG
What is triple 13 fertilizer, thanks
Triple 13 is a balanced commercial fertilizer.
OAG
Is that elephant garlic?
A friend gave me the garlic to get started growing it. After I grew it, I realized it was not true garlic. Yes, it is Elephant garlic and I no longer grow it.
OAG
@@OldAlabamaGardener it looked like. Its not garlic per say its in the leek family. I ordered some here recently and when I got it.....it was mushy. I was going to grow it because it is milder than regular garlic for cooking. Its hard to find.
