I love that you don't ramble. You don't waste my time. "Let's get right to it!" Love that. Thanks.
yup, great for those of us with less than stellar attention spans as well
I;m headed to the store to buy some garlic.
My neighbor has been farming on their property for over 50 years. Though most people around here plant garlic early in the fall, he shared with me that he plants it during the first half of December, just before the Winter Solstice. He gave me some garlic and I planted with him on December 10. Great garlic harvest! Then last year I planted around December 15. I got about 100 bulbs (most of what I planted!) As long as the soil is workable, garlic can be planted! And it will pop through wood chips quite well in my experience.
What area? I’m 6a/6b and just now seeing this video where he mentioned to plant from Halloween- thanksgiving. I wonder if it’s too cold to start the garlic ☹️
@@jacquelinehernandez6035 I had to look up my grow zone - it’s 6b. I haven’t planted my garlic quite yet, and we have snow on the ground. I was sick the other day before it snowed and the weather was fine…hopefully we get one more little warm spell so I can get to the soil! If you can work the soil, and have mulch, it shouldn’t be too late!
@@sarahogden3826 thanks for the reply! I just looked my zone up again I’m actually 5b Northwest Indiana. And it hasn’t been that cold here yet! Ima get to it asap
@@jacquelinehernandez6035 great idea! Best of luck, it will be worth it. 😁👍 you’ve got this!
Fill a pint Mason or Ball jar 1/2 - 3/4 full with peeled cloves. Top off with RAW honey. Loosen lid by day. Tighten & invert jar at night.
Repeat the process every day for a month so the fermentation process works. Bubbling lets you know its working.
At months end you've created your own soar throat, cough, cold remedy.
Makes a great Christmas gift too
I'm new to gardening and l garden properly because of your video's. l love the Jadam method. l love that you don't ramble on in your videos, your right to the point. Every word has a meaning in your videos.
thank you for the positive energy and helpful feedback my friend!!
🌱🌱🌱WOW!!! You are certainly growing nicely. Just in a couple of months almost 30,000 subscribers, CONGRATULATIONS!!!!
I always learn something new here.
💯
I have a feeling it's gonna be a lot more soon!
thank you my friend!!... its because of all you guys who love growing things!!
Thank you!
thank you for your support my friend I appreciate you!!
Garlic!!!
Just a fantastic video packed with knowledge and the science behind it. I just ordered 15 pounds of hard neck garlic so I can cull out the small ones and use them to pickle the green beans I just planted in the harvested garlic bed. You are such an amazing inspiration! After 18 years of growing 90% flowers for my florist business I am back into the veggies! Thanks, Nate!
wow very nice!.. 15 pounds of hard neck will give you a good amount of large bulbs!
This is awesome stuff! We are in zone 8b here near Salem, Oregon, so it gets just cold enough for our Music garlic. Last year I planted in late October after pulling our sweet potatoes and topping up with compost. I spaced the rows apart a good 18" or so apart so I could plant rows of potatoes between in the spring. Then after planting, I tossed a cover crop of peas, oats and mustard over the bed, and added another half inch or so of compost. All of it grew very nicely, and then the cover died back after our January freeze, leaving some very healthy garlic standing strong. I swear it must have been a foot tall already by then, it was such a mild start to winter. Late March I worked in the potatoes, and then covered it all with a few inches of wood chips. It's all looking very nice at this point, so I'm eager to see the garlic harvest next month! Then once the garlic is out, in go the sweet potato slips and we'll keep this cycle running if it all works out.
thank you......Nate 🙏🏻💪🏽🌱
In zone 4 I plant very early October and cover with several inches of shredded leaves. Never have seen fall sprouts, but always shows up in spring.
Same here in zone 3a.
This guy is great! I've learned so much from him! Thank you very much for sharing your knowledge!
I am in zone 8B this will be my first time growing garlic, pretty excited!
In zone 8B, when do you plant the garlic?
@@3bouldersurban653 I'm not completely sure, some ppl say Sept and some Oct. I am going to plant next week to be sure. It rarely gets a frost here where I live
just be certain to do the cold therapy I described!!
@@gardenlikeaviking I am also in zone 8B. So you do the cold therapy before you plant? So then I'm wondering when you plant in zone 8B.
@@sharonhochberg3671 you will plant right around thanksgiving time give or take a week.... and yes make sure to vernalize like I describe in the video
My farmers market garlic is growing the best in my garden because it has accumulated to my climate.
_Just as a side note_ - I plant a few cloves of garlic with my tomato plants every year. The chives are lovely in salads and in cooking.
Thanks for this. Great information, as always.

Hi Nate I have 1 only 1 critique and its not just you on YT I ask this of: please mention the month/ date when you say “now” it would really help a lot. Apart from that you are GOLD.
This video was so helpful and had everything I needed. Even though I planted some last year, apparently I missed a few pointers. Thanks so much. ❤ this channel.
I just so appreciate that you Get to the point so quickly Nate! Bless you brother!! ❤❤
I live in zone 8b and we don’t get much frost. I planted my garlic Dec 1st and now in June it’s ready to harvest. They were the only plants to survive the deep freeze we had mid December last year. I have best luck with soft neck but I did have to stratify all of my garlic for a month or so before planting and it worked quite well. I even got my hard necks to grow scapes! Those were fun to make into pesto. Yum. Now I’ve got about 100 cloves to harvest. Yay! So much fun to grow! Also I mulched mine with pine straw because I live in the piney woods and have tons of it free and it worked great!
Clear instructions. Useful tips. Not a long boring video. You have a new subscriber!
Here in central Canada, we plant our garlic around Oct. 10-15, when the nights are already hitting -3, -5, Celsius (below freezing 0 C). We cover with a heavy layer of straw mulch to prevent frost heaving and disruption of small roots that begin--but no more than this little bit of rooting is evident. We do not get any above ground shoots. That mulch buffer performs the same function in the spring, after which we uncover at least half of that mulch to now allow the grow to thaw quickly, once, without re-freezing, and we will see a nice crop emerge, that gets harvested around mid-August.
Great informative video and right to the point.. love the Timelapse
Good stuff, we had great results with mulching this year. Unfortunately I made the mistake of using hay as we get someone's rabbit bedding! Lots of grass coming up. Looking forward to planting the bulbs we grew. Thanks
Right....this is a definite for me. In the UK and always wanted to grow garlic!! Thank you Nate!
First year growing garlic, rewatching for repetition. Thanks my friend!
You'll be a garlic pro in no time!
Love the information thanks for sharing 👊
Wow that was interesting, we love to eat garlic. Now I know why mine never grew big enough. I’m re learning everything just a pity I in old age now, but will still garden until I can no longer. Thanks My New Friend 😊
Beautiful, beautiful! That garlic looks so good. Thanks.
Zone 7a.
This past garlic planting season was a nightmare. It was cold, hot, cold, hot, cold, hot, all season, and not a few died.
I tried again after the first of the year and they're not doing much of anything so I fear the harvest will be minute.
I will use the refrigerator trick next time, though I never had to before, because the weather may be crazy again next garlic season.
Congrats on 100K!!! Love your channel and learning a lot about organic gardening and JADAM.
I did it also in fall and I harvested big bulbs! ❤
Awesome thanks!!
Thank you for the detailed videos...I'm a beginner beginner trying to learn things about gardening
Thanks!
Love this channel for the useful and no nonsense practical way of conveying the information, thank you so much, your time a dedication are much appreciated 🙏🏼
Thank you Nate. I enjoy your videos so much
Great video. I new trick I learned to break up garlic if it is a hardneck variety: hold the garlic and hit the neck on a hard surface. The root end will pop up.
great advice!... I just learned of that earlier this year and it works very well
In zone 3 here, it sounds like I should plant my garlic now? (Nice to meet your friend:)
I have the perfect spot for them. Thanks for all the info. Love your style💜🌱!!
yes its important to plant before the ground approaches freezing... so right about your first frost date is adequate
What with it being about that time to plant some garlic, was wondering Nate if you would comment and/or make a video on incorporating JMS as a pre-soak before you plant the bulbs, to really get a jumpstart on the following year. Love the content as always, and am glad I could help in whichever way I could to help you get your plaque!
-Jer-Z Gardener, Kev.
Great video. I’m looking forward to growing garlic this year for the first time.
Thank you so much for sharing my friend,,I had to view thrice so that I won't miss any details 😉 🤗💚🌱💚
Thank you sir... I just ordered leningrad , most was already sold out..... lol I procrastinated.
Man don’t know why you ain’t got 280k subs. Your channel is the best
thank you my friend!... this is the first year for the channel but we are on our way to 280K!
I Love your videos more and more. 🙋😁
Just what I needed to
Learn
This was awesome, was very helpful, didn't know about the dormant time. Thank you.
Hey bud I have grown my first garlic this year and watched your video on when to dig them up but mine have just started to be ready to harvest and it's August lol as I didn't know when to plant them anyways thanks for your videos love them and you have really helped me your knowledge is amazing so thanks.
Thanks again Nate. Ready for the mushrooms.
Thanks for the info. I'll be planting soon zone 5.
Digging the drying rack!
Can’t wait to try to grow garlic
A superb presentation, all of the information I do need with none of the waffle. Great job, much appreciated.
I planted soft neck garlic a few weeks ago. It’s popping up. I’m in zone 9B. I’m hoping for as good a crop as I got last year. I mulched with leaves at planting, though. Oops. I DID order some supplies for growing micro greens!! I can’t wait to watch your upcoming videos on that and mushrooms!!
Thanks Nate 🙏🏻♥️
beautiful drying rack!!
Wow thanks for the time last.
Thx for the short n shweet info!
Great video! Thanks for the details. I’d love to know where you got the rack you’re using to dry the garlic.
Thank you 🙏🙏❤️
Thanks Man that was awesome✌
thanks Nate
Thank you Nate!
Thank you for your information !
Thank you for your videos, I'm learning a lot, always inspire me to do gardening. I'm in zone 7b and I will plant garlic this year, but my soil's containers is infested with thrips, how can I combat them.
Thank you again.
apply the JADAM sulfur and JMS several times before planting
@@gardenlikeaviking if you apply them, how long you have to wait before planting?
@@anonymos5726 couple of day is enough... just water deeply once everything is planted... if they still persist then I'll be making a video about two more really effective things at some point
Love my elephant garlics, store for 12 months too...
I planted mine in spring and waited...and waited 🤣 didn't know any better
did you still get a harvest?... it was probably small cloves if you did ya?
@@gardenlikeaviking no...a few greens sprouted then died back. At the time I figured it was due to our heat wave and lack of rain
They are still in the ground since I have so many other things to do.
I'm an Indiana fellow , thanks .
Thank you Nate. You didn't mention the scapes. Do you harvest your garlic before the scapes grow? Love your channel.
I actually eat the scapes... literally every single one of them goes to use!!... they're delicious in virtually everything I make early summer... then I make garlic scape pesto and freeze small portions of it for use over winter...
Thank you Nate for answering my question.
Decided finally to grow garlic. I knew right where to go for the best info: the Viking Gardener How-To Video Library.
you will have success this way my friend thank you!
i got some very seed oat straw last year, it created such a headache after we realized what was happening; i shake it all out now, oh the weeds we direct sowed. good info.
been there!!... just don't let them go to seed now or it'll be never-ending !!!
I've never grown garlic before, but I am this year! How exciting!
Very informative!
Hope it's not too late. We're finishing an early cold stretch and heading into some more reasonable weather. Better get on it!
yes go ahead and plant so long as the soil is soft enough to work you still have enough time
@@gardenlikeaviking thanks brother!
Clear, concise, informative and well put together.
Yes
I needed this knowledge! Thank you so much!
Much love from Niagara Falls NY zone 6a
I found out from your video that I've been doing garlic all wrong with a low yeald. This year I'll get it right!
I heard years ago in zone 6 to plant on the shortest day of the year and harvest on the longest day. While I don't wait till Dec 21, I do plant in December.
by that time our ground is completely frozen solid... but I'll try that with a few cloves just to see how it works... thank you
Thank you for your informative vid. 🙏🏽 I will do this process and start some bulbous flower tops to start my own seed source in the year’s to come. 🪶🧄❤️🤠
Awesome video!
I just found your channel and really enjoy watching your videos! Thanks!
I love your videos!!! Right to the point tons of knowledge. Superb information!!!!
Great video as usual! Love your positive vibe!
Wow I stumbled upon a precious gem!!!! 💎🧨Your my go to living soil gardener!!! "Mining the minerals"your explanation of the root works applies to all!!🌻🧄🍊🍎🥬🌶😇🍻❤️👍
Perfect, thank you! 👍🏻
thank you it was educational
Perfect instructional video!
🥰
Just found your channel and love it. What are your other channels?
Do you also incorporate garlic as a companion plant to other veggies?
yes I certainly do!... I explain in this video: ua-cam.com/video/8Q80erLqrOg/v-deo.html
@@gardenlikeaviking So, it is a “must” to plan well in advance because if I want garlic with, say, tomatoes, I need to know where the tomatoes will be going in next year. Garden planning is a great video topic! Thank you (Mrs P)
Awesome I’m in 8b Texas and I enjoy elephant garlic for the scapes especially
When do you plant your garlic? In 8b also, and farmers at farmers markets are saying to plant as early as October.
@@sharonhochberg3671
I waited till end because it was sooo warm however I did vernalize mine for 7 weeks and I planted some that were not Vernalized
Mention garlic and I'm here!
I live in Canada on the border of zones 3/4. When I plant garlic mid to late Oct. I won’t see anything grow from the ground until spring. Had a great harvest of big bulbs this year.
yes that's also successful... I've had years where it was like that as well.. but I found if I planted a few weeks sooner and did get a couple inches of growth the bulbs became even larger... maybe try it and see!
@@gardenlikeaviking I’ll have to give that a try. Maybe do half early and half regulate timing. Thanks for the suggestion!!
Love this!
I'm excited about trying to grow my own garlic for the first time. Great video.
It builds its roots from fall to spring
Great video very neat and organized .
Timing of planting: I'm in zone 6 and seems like middle to end of October gives me the best results.
Elephant Garlic: even though it's a leek, it's grown exactly the same way as true garlic.
You plant leeks in the fall? Do you start from seed?
Thanks! I will be picking up some nice fat heads from my neighborhood organic fruit & veggie store next time I go to town.
New question:
How cold do they have to be? I live in Zone 9b and the ground never freezes. We only get a few frosts a year, Will they grow anyway?
