I love that you put out videos from start to finish on the subject. There are hundreds of planting videos but very few show how it worked out or if there is any changes they would make unless you search threw a years worth of vlogs. Half the time they don't show it if it didn't grow well. I learn so much watching your videos. Thank you.
Nancy here, Hollis take pride in making sure people have great ideal what to look for each step so that they can have success at home. We feel that is only true way to learn it at home with the harvest.
So true it can be so disappointing when you don't know how theirs when. Are they just rehashing old information. You try and fail because of hear say half information.
Truth. It helps me more seeing the whole process and we all get to learn more by seeing it from begining to end
Yes this channel is TOP NOTCH quality lessons you will NOT find elsewhere.
There are some I know they didn’t plant it right for Florida. You now things didn’t go well but they act like they know what they are doing and they are teaching people to do thing’s wrong. In Florida we grow things differently than Northern gardeners. Frequently we do things completely opposite. I just watched a Florida gardener teaching how to plant June strawberries. We plant strawberries in south central Florida in Fall. I know they will not show their failures because they only show the planting.
The patience you put into making these videos is something special.
I love your videos, especially now you're in my home state of Florida. I reside in the Big Bend area now, and have grown garlic for years with great success. My varieties are whatever softneck they have at the grocery store, kept in the refridge for a few weeks, then planted in my sandy soil with heaps of manure worked in. I plant in October, depth to the knuckle of my middle finger with about 1/2 tsp of bonemeal per hole, soil damp, with sprouting in 2-3 weeks. When tops are about 2" , I add a bed of straw mulch over the soil to keep the weeds down and soil cool. (Black Kow absorbs heat from the sun) I fertilize about once a month with a compost tea and let them go until the tops brown and fall over, about the end of May, then I pull em, leave out in the sun for a day or two, brush off the dirt, then braid the tops and hang in a cool, dark place. This year I'm trying containers, those rectangular recycle bins with some extra drainage holes. My cloves have been in the ground about two weeks and the tips are starting to emerge and my soil resembles your mix for potatoes, 1/3 peat moss, 1/3quality potting soil, and 1/3 Black Kow. I'll let you know how this turns out.
God Bless You and Miss Nancy
Thanks for sharing your process!!!
I don’t think you gave them long enough in the ground. I let most of my leaves turn all the way brown before I dig mine up. Maybe next year, wait till they’re ready to harvest. Not trying to sound critical, but if you aren’t eating it as green garlic, like green onion, I would wait.
Thanks for watching 👍
@@HollisNancysHomestead I’ve had the corms from elephant garlic in the fridge since I harvested, I’m going to try to get some green garlic indoors this winter. I’m in SE Missouri. I personally like it as green garlic more than bulbs.
If you watch the video , it was a trial.
Nancy likes the corms too❤️
If you leave it too long, it doesn’t store well after harvest. About 1/2 yellow is correct.
You did a great job with the garlic plants
I to am a huge fan of yours because of the way you explain things from seed up until harvest
Your a great grower and a very wise man
May the Lord keep blessing you with such awesome crops
Hello Hollis, I live in a small town about 10 miles north of Savannah Georgia zone 8b. I have been growing inchelium red and kettle river giant for many years. You are correct about the 2 month chill hour requirement. I put them in the refrigerator in a mesh bag from October thru November and plant first week of December. My harvest date though has always been the first to second wk. of May. If I leave them any longer the bulb’s have a tendency to separate. Good luck on your next attempt.
Thank you!
Where do you get your seed garlic from?
@@milliethemillinator3154 I’ve been using Big Stone Garlic and Bobbetts for a few years now. A lot cheaper than the more well known sites and the quality has been good
This is good advice! I live in 8b Texas and struggle getting good garlic harvests. I will try that next year - too late this year - planted in Oct & November but with El Nina may be helpful!
Your a fine gentleman sir!
Thanks to you for sharing your wisdom and humility,kudos!
Chesnok Red works really well up here for me in Wisconsin. I plant it just before all the hard freeze happens and mulch it then it comes up in the spring & is real=dy to harvest in late June early July depending on the weather & when the freezing stops in the spring.
I gave up after last year - FL 9a gulf coast - but you have helped a lot and I might just try again. Thanks!
This will be my 3rd year growing Keene Garlic in NW SC zone 8a and I don't plant until the end of November and soak the bulbs overnight and plant a good inch deeper than you do. Both harvests were near 100 percent and I don't use any chemical fertilizer after planting... but they were planted in good soil. Your hardneck varieties will grow scapes which kind of curl and if you don't pick them and eat them about two weeks before the garlic bulbs are ready, they will straighten out and point towards the sky when the bulbs are ready to be harvested. Also, I wouldn't have harvested them so early. Not enough of the leaves had turned brown. There should only be 4 green leaves or so on each stalk or at least half to 2/3 of the leaves should be brown. If you'd waited, the bulbs would probably have gotten much bigger.
I'm glad you posted this, looks like I did a few things wrong. I'm in 8a also in PNW and going to try it again. They did grow but were very small.
@@busygirl2681 I found just following the Keene Garlic instructions on their website very helpful. (I also soaked the garlic in compost tea I made which had broth from kelp, worm castings, compost, nettles and comfrey as well as a little Jobes organic fertilizer). Both my harvests, including the first one had perfectly formed bulbs. The second harvest had some giant sized bulbs to boot. I didn't do anything but water and wait after planting though. I may have sprinkled a little compost tea via hand watering once or twice. But I pretty much left them alone until June when I picked the scapes and mid June when I harvested them.
@@emilybh6255 Thank you I'll try it again : )
You all are the most awesome folks and we learn so much from what you share with us on our gardening skills. It’s our leg up on our own experiences! And love, love that in everyone of them, you recognize and give Him the credit and glory! He’s found a path for you and you’ve taken it delivering His blessings to all of us. Thank you for that and wish hope peace, success and happiness right back at you! Thank you!
Thank you for your kind words❤️
I really love your channel! I'm glad I found it. It's great to be able to see an entire video on a topic from start to finish. And also these are being released just as most update gardening channels are winding down for the winter. When I want to watch some cool garden stuff it seems like this is a great place to go for that over the fall and winter season!
Keep doing what you're doing! You're awesome!
I’m going to try garlic this year. I have it in the fridge already. Zone 9b Florida
👍
I just love how you garden & how absolutely beautiful you’ve made everything look! Such hard work you put into your dream home property. Congratulations in realizing your dream AND getting some garlic to behave! You’re an excellent instructor!!! God bless you & Nancy!
Greetings, Hollis and Nancy! Great video as always. I have a suggestion to throw out...maybe. When I plant my garlic here in Ohio( I know they are drastically different conditions all around), I always much with straw on top. Up here, its mostly to keep the garlic from freezing in the winter, but in your case, would it help keep in cool and retain moisture in your FL summer? Also, as suggested by others in the comments, keep them in longer until the bottom 3-4 leaves have died off. Keep up the good work. You will finally succeed.
I would love to learn why add the baking soda for the soak.
I've been trying to grow garlic here in TN for 2 years now. I'm going to try the soak method and see if things do better. Thanks for sharing this info. :)
Mr Hollis, I very much enjoy the format of your videos. Since I'm farther north than you it would be helpful to me if you would give not only the dates that you're starting the plants but also your temperatures. I can figure out when it's best for my growing season to plant if I have temperatures.
I appreciate the time and effort that you put into these videos to show us how to improve ourselves as gardeners. Thank you 😊
I live in New Hampshire, zone 5b and I've planted Oct. 15th. But with climate change the Falls have been staying really much warmer for longer so now I plant around Oct. 25th. Last year on the 15th the green tips were getting pretty big before the ground froze up. In the Spring they were really long and yellow and I thought I killed them. Nope, they were frigging awesome. One night was -15° and a really cold winter freezing them all solid as a brick, didn't hurt them one bit. I plant mine at least 4-5 inches deep, seems way too much but they always do so well I hate to change that part.
The great thing about overhead watering is you will wash the fertilizer off the leaves before it burns the heck out of them
Thanks so much for all your hard work to help us gain knowledge and to be successful in what we plant. 🙏
We all learn from each other ❤️
Just in time for my garlic planting in 9b! Your videos are so thorough and helpful. Thank you both for all you do.
❤️
Excellent and very informative video. Thank you for sharing this…. Be blessed.
Excellent video Hollis. I learned so much for my fall garlic planting. Thank you
I don’t know but can we talk about that watering system you have on the garden bed?! Nice!

Happy to see you are still at it, not many of us still around and of course your beautiful wife. Is she still out fishing you hahaha. I only have a little time left but your show helps me get out of the nasty negative thanks.😊
How about the different tastes with the variety? I 100% agree about learning the hard way. Thanks for the video
First of you’re a great teacher showing hands on is the way for me (and many others) Did you make your board spacer? Awesome idea! I’m glad you didn’t give up 18 days🥹 Gardening teaches us patience 🙏🏽 I LOVE! the music 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽❤️👏🏽👏🏽 Watching from zone 6 Michigan
Thanks for all the grea videos you two are the BEST! 🌸 🌼 🌻 🌞
I wish I was organized like you in my little garden but I always get good info from your videos. Great team you & your wife!!!! 13:05
Hollis, you are the man, you have a beautiful garden. Great show!
Thanks for all your expert knowledge Hollis, but I don't think I will have much luck down here in zone 10, but I will never say never until I try your method....Thanks for sharing
Great job Hollis.
Really appreciate all you do for us.
So glad I stopped in . I learned a lot today from you in planting garlic. On thing I didn't know was the soaking part. Thank you for taking your time to show us and teach us just what to do. Plus I could just stay here and listen to the music 🎶 .
Hey Hollis, We use a dowel similar to your bamboo and put a rubber band wound somewhat tight on it. We can role the band up and down the stick to mark different depths as needed. Then we don't have multiple marks on the stick to make us second guess which one we need to use.
Thanks for the tip :-)
I have killed so many plants in Wyoming, I keep going and don’t give up. I have eventually figured it out. Every year my garden gets a little bit better.
Awesome blues music!!!!
Great video Hollis! I am in central Florida and am growing softneck and elephant garlic bulbs that I planted around Thanksgiving. It was just right because the soil temperature was still warm enough to form the tops before the colder December weather arrived. It's now early January and I have good tops so far. I have lots of organic matter and used a root-starting granular in the planting hole. I did keep the bulbs indoors in 75 degrees for a few weeks before I planted them out. My first time growing these.
Nancy, great footage of the birds (buzzards?) and the deer family! Thanks for those inserts, and your awesome video production! 🎥
I have garlic growing in my horse pasture. I don't know how it got there but every year I get more and more. I keep transplanting it since the horses don't eat it. I have tons of elephant garlic I don't even know what to do with. Best crop I've had...nature, go figure.
Love this video. Love the Blues music as well. Thanks for all you do!
Loaded with valuable information Hollis. So far we haven't had a lot of luck with garlic up here in 8b, but we might have to give your advice a try. Thanks for sharing it with us. God bless. 👍
Thank you for another great teaching video!
Thank you for teaching us to not give up.
Always!
Thanks Hollis. Pls keep us informed this year also. My family just moved to N. Fl this year and I’m really having a hard time growing anything (that’s not weeds) in this climate. It’s completely backwards from what I knew. So I’ll take all the help I can get. Thanks again
We will be doing a full video. We have already started the video. Our garlic is currently in the refrigerator until December 1st. Then we will plant it. We should harvest the garlic by next July. The full video will be ready for release in the fall of 2023
I love your experiments!!
Love the planting board!
Again, you are awesome and your humility and education is so good to receive! Thanks
Just planted 160 hardneck cloves today from this early summer's crop. They went through one night of -15° in the winter, eere frozen solid as a rock and thrived. Garlic is amazing. I have the Romanian red from Keene and it does well. I do the peroxide soak and fertilizer too, it just makes sense. This Spring I started red wiggler worm bins for my own worm casting to have when I planted the garlic today in nearly Nov. in NH. I had. half a five gallon bucket so they should be jacked! Using the garlic as seed from your own is wonderful, it adapts to your soil and local weather and over time gets even better. I used to not plant smaller cloves but in the interest of getting as much garlic as I can I do plant them now. They're great for eating and not dipping into your biggest ones for seed. If you think of garlic by weight the smaller cloves are good to plant too.
So glad to have found your channel. From start to finish and the in-between of the dear and crow made me smile..straight to the point. Explained without cutting a corner a true breath of fresh air.. Thank you Sir. New gardener and will be following your lead.
have you ever tried to grow Elephant Garlic there in Florida? Im in grow zone 8A in the southern most part of Virginia as I am 3 miles from the North Carolina border and they grow great for me.
Thank for such a wonderful informative video on garlic! I will try some of the things I learned!
It had to be a challenge after moving to know what grows best when. Those garlic plants look pretty good to me. I got my first harvest this year, go me!
Your experiment is very helpful. Thank you.
❤️
Love the experiment
Wow! You guys worked hard for those garlic. We get a cooler winter here in the Highlands of Scotland (rarely much below -7°C or 19°F) but we're costal and the sea winds are constant and burning for plants, so in the winter the tops that do come up are cold burnt almost off. The garlic keep on producing excellent roots though and come spring they explode back into life and by the end of June are half green/half yellow and ready to harvest. It really brings home the differences in climate and what grows easily where! Thank you for your excellent videos and all the very best. 👍
Fabulous!!! I so enjoy garlic
I appreciate all you do in the garden and the time it takes to share your knowledge.
Thanks so much
God blessed you 2 soul too be together. You can just hear the goodness in your souls. I've learned a lot from your gardening tips. Our gardening season has changed so much. We use too be able too from April till October. But now its from June till October. So I've learned too adapted each year what works the best and have got my greenhouse almost ready too start . But before the green house I used 1gallon jugs for minis and planted tomato seed directly in the ground then plastic wrapped 5' tomato cages leaving a slit in the top for rain too drain into plant. And used free hula hoops with plastic over too keep the cabbage moths out of cabbages and broccoli .
I can't wait to see if the cold stratification works!
Inch-eh-lee-umm... Home of the Colville Indians!! Watching from Alaska...
You folks have one of the most beautiful and successful gardens I've seen. Looks like they were just starting to bulb up. I would suggest you leave the plants until the bottom 3 or 4 leaves dry up. In saying this I grow hard neck in Canada. I did not see any sign the scapes on the Hard Neck had developed yet. After the scapes develop cut them off before they stand up. Looking forward to your next years garlic journey. I believe you will get-er done.
I'm glad I watch this video because I'm learning a few tricks to make my garlic planning a whole lot easier up here in South Central Alabama
I’m so glad you said to refrigerate! I picked up some seed garlic last year for my fall garden here in NW Florida, it was a hard neck variety, it did really good. I just didn’t know to fertilize, and my bulbs were pretty small. Still eats the same! Thank you for sharing!
Don't fertilize. The nice thing about garlic is that you can pretty much plant them and forget them . Follow the Keene Garlic instructions on their website to the letter and you'll be fine. That wasn't done in this video.
@@emilybh6255 🙄
Good morning how is your precious Bing Bing praying for that little dog and both of you
Very through, thanks for sharing! Blessings friends!
Awesome just the video I need! I have 1 year of success with garlic so far. I ordered green garlic from them for Fall. 😊
Great video.
May I suggest mulching with straw. It will help keep your soil cooler.I read Once the soil reaches 90deg. The heads stop growing.
Keep the great videos coming.
Thank you❤️
Oh wow Hollis, I can't believe how dark that soil is. Wow!!
I’m in Austin and I’ve about given up on garlic too
I’m going all in this fall. My order is due to be delivered in about a week👍
thanks for the planting info 🧄and loved ♥️ the old time blues music! Nothing like a Hammond organ with Leslie speaker.
I grew Hard Neck Garlic last year. I can plant mine in November and harvest around July. Once the scapes form, I cut the scapes off so the energy will go into the bulb. I harvested mine after 9 to 10 months. ... Try 2 and three months for chill hours before planting. ... However, I think you may need to establish the root growth during the chill hours. Not sure how you can do that but an idea would be is to run a pipe from your well at to pipes under your garlic bed. The water from your well will be much colder than the air. The pipes under the garlic bed, will keep the soil cool. That can be run for the chill hours. If you ran a solar powered water pump to supply the pipes under the garlic bed with the cool water. ... You may need 8 to 9 months till you harvest the bulbs. ... Anyway, I have watched you channel for a few years and love your videos. I have been gardening for three years but i did 10 years in three. hahaha, and I am 62.
I really appreciate this video. I live in central florida about a hr south of Palatka, I've 9 ways from Sunday to grow garlic here and an epic fail every single time. I will definitely try this method sir. Thank you. Blessings and best of health to you and your family 👍🙏🇺🇸🇺🇸
Got my garlic in the refrigerator now. We will plant it on December 1st. We will be building a new video for this scheduled for release November 2023👍
@@HollisNancysHomestead ok great ill be ordering from Keene and get mine planted here pretty soon as well using this method and see what happens. Appreciate all your phenomenal videos. Alway enjoy seeing your beautiful Homestead
Hey there, so we grew garlic last year in San Antonio Texas and they did great. We only grew hard neck. The advise i was given and research i did was to plant them the depth you did but to mulch 3-4 inches on top. But before planting i had them in the fridge for 4wks(it was suggested 8wks) for them to get their cold hours first... we planted mid November fertilizing every 2wks worm tea, harvested mid may. We grew chesnok red, white and red German, music(didn't do well for us) and elephant garlic. Hope this is helpful :) we are expecting to get our seed garlic left week and are trying soft and hard neck this year
Lot's of information! thanks a lot for sharing this to us!
Love the Cajun Swamp Pop music.
Interesting. Lifecycle of Garlic in Maine.
Plant cloves end of Oct-early Nov (couple weeks before ground starts freezing
so roots can be established) Straw mulched 4-6"s
Stratification, from cold to frozen ground to cold ground to thaw mid April
Sprouts appear mid- April-1st of May.
Ready to harvest early-mid July, fully cured in 3-4 weeks.
I guess what I'm getting at, from germination (sprouting), to harvest it's only
about 90 days. So based on that it's the length of stratification time before
germination that would be your put in fridge date, and adjusted for ambient
outdoor temps. Johnny's Seed suggests 290 days to maturity. (for German
Extra Hardy) That's a long way from 90 days plus stratification. In Maine though,
that 4-5 month stratifying is all natural. 😒
Nice video Hollis
Love all of your video . KEEP THEM COMMING !
Wonderful comprehensive trial on these garlic varieties! I anxiously await this year's trial on the ones you chose.
Hollis and NANCY, HELLO, I FOLLOWED, YOUR ONIONS,& now GARLIC, so yes some varities. Not going to work, but this was an expert interview based on supplier ideas, 1 there looked like a LEEK,, I GROW NOTHING, but I eat lots of garlic,& onions too, say well,God Bless you all, from NJ, 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
Hey Hollis and Nancy, just saw this video and I have been watching y’all for years. It is so awesome that Keene Garlic sent you some garlic to try. This is my third year growing their garlic and we have had wonderful success. We are in Wisconsin so I only grow the hardneck varieties. I just planted mine ten days ago and they are just peaking out of the soil. Once we start getting hard freezes I will be covering them with my old hay mulch so they are protected over our cold, cold winters. I also follow Keene’s instructions before planting and it works really well. I am really curious to see how garlic grows in Florida. The garlic scapes from the hardneck varieties provide a nice additional harvest and I made some garlic scape pesto this past summer, which is in the freezer now. I hope you have a bountiful harvest and I’ll keep watching. Keene Garlics seed garlic performs beautifully for me and I hope it will do the same for y’all. Bless you both and thank you so much for your thoroughly educational videos❣️
Thanks for watching 👍. We have our garlic in the refrigerator right now. I will be planting it on December 1st. We will build a new video all the way to harvest next summer. We plan to release the video in the fall of 2023. Looking forward to some tasty garlic ❤️. Best of luck to you with your hard necks. 👍
I just finished the video and read your reply. I will definitely watch your 2023 video as you will probably be harvesting just before I do. And yes, Hollis, I have made so many, many mistakes that are my best teachers😁 I love the way you take notes for your plans and experiences. I am going to adopt that as I do keep my planting dates noted yet there is so much more I could be noting and learning from. Best of luck to you both for your 2023 garlic harvest and I know it is more than luck that is going to get you to a bountiful harvest🙏 Thank you, again, for all that both of you do and share with all of us💙🤍💜
❤️❤️🐶
I love cooking with the scapes.
Interesting video. Was wondering if you could grow some Romanesco broccoli it is a beautiful Brassica. There are not too many videos on here about growing them. I've tried, and have had a less than 50 % success rate with very small heads. I followed the other channels suggestions but no one has gone in depth like you do with your videos. Really enjoy your channel since finding it. Hope this is a plant that you can grow in your climate.
We will do a video on it. 👍
@@HollisNancysHomestead Sweet.! I look forward to watching it. Thanks. God bless.
I will start the seeds in a couple of weeks. I will build the video over the next few months until harvest. Then we will have to edit the video and upload it to UA-cam. By then it will be going into spring of 2023. We will schedule the video for release in September of 2023 at the applicable time of the year. Hope you like the video 👍
@@HollisNancysHomestead Sounds good. 👍
I’m so excited to watch this video! Thanks for the upload!!! 🙌🏻
I'm a new gardener. You've been soo helpful!! Love the music😎☺
Thank you bunches for all the research you do. I cannot wait ti try the vild stratification to start the planting schedule. I am in west Texas
❤️
I really liked the experiment with multiple varieties. There is always so many experiments to dial in techniques and which vegetables choices produce the best. Thank you for the wonderful video and also revisiting a crop that failed in the past. Many blessings to y'all.
Great video I was on the fence about garlic in Central Fl and you just made my mind up for me. Thanks a bunch!!!
Great details in this one for sure.
As always a well-produced and demonstrated learning tool.
Thank you, Nancy and Hollis.
Your Middleburg neighbor
Mac
thank you for sharing
I love these videos. I am taking a break from growing garlic this year. I'm in TX 9a. Garlic takes up too much space for too long to get very tiny cloves. Just doesn't seem worth it to me. Maybe next year.
Fantastic detailed video. I really appreciate your thoroughness! I really like the nature sounds (more than music tbh).
We have one hard freeze in Wisconsin as well. It just lasts 4 months long!
Hello Nancy and Hollis from 9B Osowaw Junction FL - I tried my hand at elephant garlic and white German garlic last winter. When I harvested the elephant I had a few cloves but the German I removed too soon.
I had never seen to soak the garlic so maybe that is what I did wrong. The plants were beautiful. My question on the refrigeration suggestion is that the bulbs before broken apart and soaked?
Thank you so much for your explanations and demonstrations that shows us what to expect, when to harvest etc.
Excellent ! Thank you fir such detailed info.
I am looking forward to seeing you growing garlic this year again and see how you implement your lesson learned.
That's the plan!
When you stratify the garlic in the fridge how do you store them? do they need dark and should they be in a small amount of soil or should they just be in a paper bag ? Thank you for all the great knowledge you share.
Still watching and I'm subscribed. And I'm still waiting for an answer about how you grew intermediate day onions in Florida. Super intrigued. I've struggled with onions growing from sets and have started growing from seed but only with short day varieties.
Thank you 💕🌱💕
Thanks Hollis. I only get small bulbs, so I will keep on trying until I get some decent sizes. Nice information
Awesome video, thanQ 4 sharing! I too am in 🌞🐬🐢FL zone 10a. Great Jazz music inbtwn🎶🎷
Interesting comparison. I have tried Red Toch and then Salmon River Racambole the next year. I didn't try the feeding schedule though. I get great tops but not bulbs, even with the cold stratification. I think I am just too warm in 9b/10a. You tempt me to try one more time. Lol
Great video Hollis. I have tried to grow garlic every year and have not had any success yet. I will not give up. Hopefully one day.
👍
