  • Early to mid July is garlic harvest season and one of my favorites. There's something fun about pulling your prizes from the ground. If this is your first season growing garlic and they didn't come out very big, don't give up! Any garlic at all is progress, even little ones. If you got only small bulbs use them up and buy new bulbs to plant from in October. It can be a learning process but it doesn't have to be an expensive one! Small garlic bulbs May indicate irregular watering through the fall and winter. It is also important to remember to stop watering your garlic about a week before you harvest.

    Hanging the garlic also looks pleasing to the eye. Very traditional, despite the mess 😊👍

      Agreed! I'm always in awe of the ones they sell at the Growers' markets!

    I’m lazy and just bend them and hang them over the string of lights on my patio overhang lol. Yours looks so much better, I may have to up my game some.

      It's not hard to look better than mine! 😂 But I get the "lazy" bit. There are only so many hours in the day.

    Can you do a video about what can survive in the cold here in New Mexico? I started gardening this year

      Do you mean in regards to food crops? Flowers? What are your goals?

    Can you do a potato video some time? I don't know when I should harvest and also how to store them properly.

      When they start to look dead/ dying. Then set on your sifting screen in the shade for a few days, put in milk crate and store in pantry

      I have a few red and yellow potatoes that are ready now, but the russets (starchy type) aren’t ready yet. I also succession plant them because we use the new potatoes fresh, so we will be harvesting every few weeks until November

      Wow! Now THIS is why I started this channel. I love seeing so much support from one to another. SeargeantKlein has pretty much said it all. Harvest date will depend on which variety you're growing and when you planted. Some are determinate, some are not (just like tomatoes). Look for blossoms, and for the leaves to start to die out. Determinates will produce all at once and then will die out. Indeterminates will produce continuously and you can harvest as they grow.
