Excellent tutorial. No wasted jargon, no music! 10/10
Thanks for that! Appreciate it because that's what I aim for with every video.
Since I began growing garlic ten years ago, not a single vampire has entered my house, so I know for sure that Garlic really works.
Heh heh....it really does! ;)
😂😂
That is quite a coincidence. Ever since I started punching holes in my water, I too have not had a Vampire problem. Holey Water really works well also!!
The vampire can't enter a house unless they are invited to go in lol
@@riceball4u172 I've never heard of that before, but as I have no intention of inviting vampires into my house, I should be safe.
I'm attempting garlic for the first time this fall. This is the best video I've found yet. Thanks for the info!
Thanks so much, too kind. Bets of luck with the planting! 🙂
I forgot I had cloves in the fridge and they started sprouting so I decided to plant them. They are growing insanely well. I will be moving them outdoors in a few weeks.
Right on! Best of luck!
ua-cam.com/video/iQ3v3nHo_Zo/v-deo.html
That's what I wanted to know! I'm zone 10b and I kept mine in the fridge. It's January and life happened. They are growing in the fridge, so I'm going to plant them out this week.
So exciting, I had the same thing happen after I bought my seed garlic, prepared the garden and planted them. So now I've got several containers and another small plot in the ground. 🙏 I'm loaded down in garlic by June!! 🤩
i just did the same thing! i’m watching this to see how they grow
Just 1:10 into your video and I already knew two things: this guy knows what he's talking about, and he's a natural-born teacher.

Good insights into growing the garlic. Would be useful to have also included how to harvest and dry it, and at what stage post-harvest are the cloves ready to be replanted.

@@angelamc3532 i watched another video and the guy said like 7 monthish!! lol takes awhile apparently
There was not a single thing in this video that I didn't love! Easily explaining the process, calm and pleasant demeanor, I think I'm now brave enough to try to grow garlic. Thanks so much!
Thanks so much for that Dawn! Best of luck, can't wait to hear about your harvest! 🙂
Thanks for the clarity I've doing my garden wrong by peeling the entire cloves skin. Thanks we always need help.
Happy to help! :-)
I just love the way that he explains it so throughly and makes it so versatile with every type of potting. Naming what works and doesn’t work that well as far as potting and using containers. I just love it! The absolute best person I’ve come across on UA-cam in the gardening niche! Keep up the good work! Thanks so so much sir! 😊😊

So True 😎

I love the way you patiently explain every step. Thank you.
Hey thank you Maria, really appreciate that. I'm glad you noticed that! :-)
Loved the idea of using wall .
Didn’t understand when U said after putting mulch on top and water good soaking so probably You won’t have to water again?
@@rashmifitter5842 Yeah, its because Garlic is planted in the fall....right before the wettest time of year for most growers. I plant in October and won't water again until April. :-)
@@TheRipeTomatoFarms How long till after April would you know when your garlic crop is ready to harvest?
@@lieuwina the shoots begin to fail and turn yellow/brown. Also, garlic grows right at the surface... You could just brush some soil away and look at one
Amazing gardening lessons...I have become very interested. My wife s hobby is flower gardening...but have now decided to start trying out mine on fruits & veggies I will start small with garlic, sweet potatoes ,, onions, tomatoes due to space constraints in our compound here in Calabar. I need to learn a lot from ur series Thanks a lot
We need teachers like you here in the caribbean to teach our young minds your voice is very relaxing and Learnable.
PATIENCE AND TRNDER HANDS
Thanks so much Rosetta!! :-)
He’s very great at educating but there are great farmers in the Caribbean. Seems like you’re downplaying them
The way each clove of garlic seals itself from drying out when it is stored is amazing. No odor escaping either. In the fridge it can be stored next to the butter. No problem!
It really is amazing Margrit. I mean, its already a pretty awesome crop, but the way it can self store is no wonder its so great for even new gardeners!
I must have missed this, so Don’t store garlic in fridge?
Each clove self seals. As per margrit in her last sentence: …..“in the fridge it can be stored next to the butter. No problem”
I am going to grow some garlic and potatoes at my camping site in the woods .Then every time i go there i will have fresh food to eat .Thanks for giving me this idea .
Have a great season everyone .😊
Ha ha, that would be the most amazing thing ever! Let me know if it works!
Thank you for taking the time to explain everything out. Also, that 40 sec recap is great! Only question, I would have is to when is the best time to harvest the garlic after you have planted during the time planted and full growth. Thank you!
I think most people plant in late fall then harvest around mid June, once a few lower leaves have dried out. I'm always late on both accounts so do your own research to confirm.
I’ve been wondering if garlic needs 100% full sun or will they be okay with a little shade?
Do you also grow spinach? It's another vegetable garden plat that should be planted in the fall. The roots have the opportunity to establish before going dormant for winter. The spring crop can give two or three cuttings instead of just one if you plant in spring. Once again, an awesome video
My spinach bolted so now I grew Vulcan Swiss chard and the ever bearing spinach Swiss chard and holding up like troupers had 103 degree weather yesterday so yeay I got a leafy green that can handle my Deep South texas weathee
I have watched so many videos to help me grow vegetables and fruits in my tiny garden, I am an amateur gardener by the way, I really liked your videos, no nonsense straight to the point and the tips that you give is really helpful. Based on your videos I have sowed cucumber, courgette, strawberries, peppers, tomatoes and French beans 🤞. I just saw the garlic videos and I will patiently wait for fall to grow them. All the best, you are doing a great job!
Thanks for Charing how to plant a beautiful vegetables and fruits it's amazing
Really the best video I've seen on planting garlic, thanks! I love the way you explain things very clearly and in a logical step-by-step way. You're a natural teacher, man!

Thanks, appreciate that! I do think its important info, glad you liked it, means a lot! :-)
😮 oh my gosh I can’t even remember what to do but I still love it
My dad always grew garlic. He always waited for a full moon to plant as he said it's because you get much more and bigger heads. He always had an abundance and we braided them and hung them to dry in the garage. That is how we did it.
You are the best!!! Accurate, easy to listen to, instructions easy to follow and you repeat at the end. Excellent. I will never stop watching your videos. You should be an instructor. Thank you so much. Again, you're the Best!!
Thanks for that Mimi! Awesome of you to say!! :-)
Ditto to what you said, Mimi! Yes, the recap was a nice closing (not seen in most videos).

Yessssss! Ha ha appreciate the support. ;-)

LoL. Better than netflix also
The. Happy Little Garlic Family . Dude you’re like the Bob Ross of Garlic.
Hi there, I planted garlic yesterday, about 100 cloves, just the way you describe in your video. I watered it well with my rain water and covered it with straw. Hopefully it will survive our Canadian winter here in Toronto. It's all a learning curve. You have great patience and a wonderful and simple way of explaining things. You're very inspiring. Thank you for sharing all your knowledge.
Have hopes
How did it go?
Did you harvest already?
Mulch! you’re a genius and you probably just save my cucumbers peppers beans and tomatoes
Cheers Simone, always happy to help!!
Gosh what a find ! Loved your video , how thoroughly you explained everything. Garlic it is ! Thank you for sharing your wonderful gift!
Thanks so much Caridad! Appreciate it. :-)
I tried to grow garlic but it failed, but upon viewing your content, it drive my motivation to do it again until finally succed, thank you very much for sharing your idea and methodology
Hey that's great to hear. Best of luck with the next attempt!
Great way of planter boxes on fence
Thanks linda!
I'm a lazy SOB who just dreams about being productive. A while back my mom gave me a Tarpon Springs natural sponge with a decorative bowl. The idea is that you put herb seeds in the sponge, add water to the bowl and boom, you get plants. Well that hasn't work for me. As a bachelor I buy a pint of pre-peeled garlic. About 1 out of 3 I eat, 1 out of 3 grows mold, and 1 out of three starts to sprout. I found that if I place these sprouting bulbs in the moistened sponge I get garlic chives. So now my routine is that any time I buy scallions I cut the last 4 to 6 inches, place them in a mason jar, place that in the center of the sponge, and then insert sprouting garlic in the sponge and I have the perfect blend for eggs or soup. The only work involved is occasionally adding water to the bowl or mason jar. I live in Florida so these get sunlight but not much since there is a covered porch between the kitchen window. This works for me all year long! When I finally get around to doing real gardening I'll follow this video but let's be honest, Florida doesn't have winters.
You may want to plant spring garlic. This is my first year but from what I've read, and anyone feel free to correct any misinformation, is that the winter is needed to separate one bulb in to cloves, otherwise you end up with only 1 huge clove of garlic. But, you can plant spring garlic which doesn't need winter.
Doesn't really matter as you can plant whenever. And seems you're growing scallion garlic chives? Idk, but sounds great! Also, don't peel garlic cloves when planting & the 2 that you're not eating, sprout & plant... that's it.
@@nicolenemeth9989 Would love to see 1 huge clove! Either way, I'd definitely enjoy it & make many things with it. That sounds pretty cool too!
This is wonderful, thank you!!
I had a garlic patch for almost 30 years and suddenly we had so much rain over a long period and f time, the ph balance changes and all of my garlic died. It used to come back every year. Love the way they are mounted to the walls!! I can do that!!
Glad you liked it Susan! Sorry to hear about your main patch! Hopefully you were able to save a few bulbs? As for my planters, its the only way I'll grow Garlic now. Just can't dedicate the bed space to them anymore when they take up nearly 3 crop cycles! :-)
Have you ever thought of growing watercress? It simply loves rain.
S
I've never thought about mulching in the fall, and I've never had an issue, but I'll try it. Why not?
My garlic is from bulbs I bought in the produce dept over 20 years ago.
When I harvest, I braid a bunch to hang and use in the kitchen . I set aside enough for next year. And I strip enough to fill 2-3 ziplock bags, and freeze those bulbs.
All winter, after the hanging bulbs get used, you can take out frozen bulbs, nuke them quick , and chop them up for dishes.
The thawed bulbs smash very easy for chopping.
Something new this year...
Last summer a lot of my garlic seeded, and those seeds started growing before the snow fell .
I'm letting that bed grow to see what comes of it this year
They've already come up well as of this date, may 1.
I love how you are showing exactly how to do it by doing it at least two times in the beginning of the video. Thank you.
The recap at the end was very nice.
Yes! I wish more would follow his lead.
Thanks Alex, cheers! :-)
@@pbear7814 :-)
Awesome video. I was looking for a simple "crop" for the winter and this is it. One question though, can I use store bought garlic gloves for my starts or do I need to buy a certain kind? Recommendations?
Yes but should be organic

I know this video is about two years old but it is brand new to me, thank you so much I finally found a place that gives directions very clear I can understand what you’re saying, some of the videos they talk so fast I don’t know what they’re saying and there’s no close caption, thank you again for showing me how to do my garlic I was able to understand you clear and simple no problems, I am hearing impaired and I also have macular degeneration so finding these type of UA-cam videos is a plus for me, again thank you so much ❤ now I’m on a mission to watch all your videos.

You're a natural for teaching. Good 👍info. Now I want to grow garlic. Thanks. The Almighty is surely blessing the work of your hands. Shalom!
Thanks so much Carmen! Appreciate the kind words and support! :-)
20 years of growing garlic, the only failure I had was the year I used leaves as mulch. The ground was too soggy in the spring. Leaves probably would have been ok if I'd have 'mulched them'. So, I no longer mulch or put anything on my garlic crops other than a top layer of my home made kitchen and yard waste compost. I generally grow 300 - 350 garlic plants per year in raised beds.
For sure. I've seen that happen, especially in warmer areas. Go further north and grow Garlic without a mulch and its toast by November. :(
I sprinkled the little clove looking seed things all around the garlic garden last year before I took them in the house. This year I got like 29k plants gowing lol.
Keep doing what works Travis!
I really enjoy your video. You wasted no time, you got straight to the point with specific details. Super great
Ha ha....Finally, I don't have to go to the grocery store. I bought my garlic on Friday and was just waiting for your video! Now to go plant my garlic in my veg trug!
Growing Garlic is great once you get into a rhythm Sharon! Harvest, cure, and it lasts right up to just before the next harvest....like clockwork! Cheers!
Too cool, from a decade ago!! Whew the earth provides yall❣❣
Totally agree Sheana! :-)
New viewer here. Loved how you explained the process thoroughly. Looking forward to seeing more of your videos!
It’s good to confirm I’ve been planting my garlic correctly. I also spread some 10-10-10 fertilizer on the mulch figuring it will take a month or so to work its way to the roots over the winter and spring. Question: have you ever used a dibble to aid in making the hole ?
He's planting into a potting soil mix that's very fluffy so in his case it wouldn't be necessary.
You got me on garlic. Your explanation was simple and your voice inviting to my ear making me listen. Thank you so much. Look forward to checking out your channel.

Cheers, thanks for watching. Garlic is normally planted at the onset of fall, overwintered in the ground, and harvested the following summer. The video covers all this, but for more harvesting tips, check this out!: ua-cam.com/video/ngZ7UuFEuwY/v-deo.html

Garlic is adapted to grow in regions of approximately the same day length. I Iive in South Texas. We can grow Mexican garlic. So we get fresh silver skin garlic from the market in May and keep it for fall planting. If we use other garlic it fails to make bulbs.

Tyvk for this tutorial! :D
By way of giving back, My mother cuts back all plants in the autumn, that she doesn’t want to have to deal with spring. She says a fraction of the time and effort in the fall.
I notice that those planters look a lot like old-fashioned mold for making clay bricks; brilliant shape for this purpose. It’s also super nice that there have a permanent, mounted spot, but that you can lift them down.
Awesome Daphne, thanks for sharing! :-)
Wow! That is how you teach people to grow garlic- or do anything. Really excellent video. This answered all my questions. Bravo!
Thanks! Appreciate the kind words and for you watching! :-)
I love your videos. We had our first snow in August it took almost the entire garden. Things like kale and brussell sprouts and and collard greens cabbage, your brassic family they all survived for a while longer but a week a ago we had almost a foot of snow so it took them out of the equation as well. Today it's almost 70* and sunshine SMH I'm asking myself WHY. NOT ONE SINGLE TOMATO 🍅 I did get carrots beans and 300 lbs of potatoes. Potatoes seem to grow the best in this mountain zone 4b. And every single pea plant grew up bloomed had a few peas and then turned white with mildew like fungus and died. I can't really complain I did alright but can use improvement but we can all use a little improvement. I look forward to next year and next season and morning coffee watching you teach me improvement. Thank you 😊 and God bless you.
Holy potatoes!! Wonder why they do so well there for you? Don't fight it, that's just awesome....so many people had trouble with potatoes this year...
Thanks its some thing new for me to watch.
Love your videos, man. Learning alot. I should receive my planting garlic today, and will definitely follow your lead. Excited already! Thank you!!!
I love garlic, i have some every day for blood pressure/cholesterol it really works. I got off both those medications. But lately-the last 2 years the garlic has been nasty at whatever store I go to. So I have decided to grow my own on my balcony. I live in a condo but it has a large balcony and I guess it's perfect timing to find this video. Now I just have to find some good garlic that I can't plant!! Thanks for the video.
So many had confused and now made everything possible I like it so much and easy to grow it at back yard.once again thank you.
Right on Albert, best of luck! :-)
Anybody else get an overpowering smell of garlic when he was breaking them up.....? Just me? Its amazing how God made every plant to reproduce after its own kind! Thanks for the video.
Thanks ayla! Garlic truly is a wonder plant!
Amen
Garlic was man-made lol
@@mata218 I believe that sometimes!!
This is magic, glad for your show, you teach very well .
Cheers David, thanks for watching!
When to harvest is all I see that's missing in this video. Thanks a bunch for sharing...
Thanks!! Yes, I made a separate video just for the harvesting: ua-cam.com/video/A9qUN_FSCjg/v-deo.html
Thanks a lot, I think I have to start growing my own garlic now.
I grew garlic for the first time this winter just gone. Even with snow and heavy rain they are popping up gorgeously. I used straw for my mulch and it seems to have worked great even though I'm planting in pots. The only downside to straw mulch is that now I have tons of hay seeds sprouting too because I didn't check before putting it down :D
That's so awesome Victoria, glad to hear it. I am growing Garlic in containers mostly now as well! For the mulch, you may have found that you're using hay instead of true straw. Straw should not contain ANY seeds at all. I've done that a few times, LOL! Oh well, living mulches are good too! Best of luck. :-)
That's exactly how they grow... good stuff!!
I have very little room, and even less room with good light on my back porch. Was able to grow some tomatoes, beets, herbs,green onions and strawberry. Did it all in pots. Worked very well I learned alot about what to grow for next year. For sure trying garlic.
Right on Christian! We grow with what we have. And let me say, container gardening can be massively fruitful! :-)
🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽currently trying! Good for you! It kind of "bothers" me when people say "I don't have a backyard", but it doesn't even matter!
you make it sounds so easy by ur way of explainning
Thanks, garlic really can be simple once you get the timing aspect down.
Thank you. You sure are easy to follow and explain things so clearly. Much appreciated❤❤
Hey, happy to hear, thanks for watching!
Such a great video! Thank you. Will be using this to plant our crop of garlic for the first time this year. Fingers crossed!
A big "Thank You" from Melbourne, Australia (our growing seasons in the southern hemisphere are alternate from yours) Easy to follow instructions!.
