I'm looking forward to seeing how it all turns out. Between doing a cover crop and giving each plant more space, each bulbs should have what it needs. Thanks for watching Sandra.
Great natural looking bed. I think in the pots I will try some garlic from the store and cover with some cedar mulch that I have and see if that works. You are off to a great crop of garlic for next year.
This warmer weather we've had has me scratching my head as to when to plant out. I will probably go for it this week too. I planted 117 and yielded 111 this year. that seems close to the right amount. Space is a premium though, so I can't go too crazy.
Yeah, it has been much warmer than a typical October. I usually target Oct 15th but it was much too warm at that time. Now though, we are starting to get some frost here and there so should be a good time. You had a good survival rate with only losing 6 of them. Plenty there for replanting and use in the kitchen. Do you turn any of the cloves left over from planting in to garlic powder? Thanks for watching Robin.
@@stevefromthegarden1135 Yes I have dehydrated and made powder...but I find I like to freeze if they start to get a bit edgy. Roasted is probably our favorite way to use.
Nice video Steve. I might have to try the thicker mulch layer with wood chips. I like the garden beds like yours. Using materials on hand, we don’t need perfect rows or edges. Any reason planting less garlic for next year?
My son is at college and my daughter will be a senior in HS. That means making smaller meals. Plus I always have left over garlic from the year before when harvest time comes. This year I turned a bunch of the left over cloves from planting time into garlic powder and gave away half to other people. Any new 300 games lately? 😃 Thanks for watching Rick.
I’m late watching this video! I got my last bed of garlic planted last week. Thank god! I planted 2 3x6 beds but that may be too much for my needs?? We shall see. It’s good that I watched this video cuz I forgot to add fertilizer!! HA HA HA - I’ll do it tomorrow. 😂 Happy Thanksgiving!🍁
That will be quite a bit of garlic. I add fertilizer at planting time and again in early spring. Thanks for watching Kathleen and have a good Thanksgiving
I enjoyed that! How many cloves total did you put in the ground? I put my garlic for the year in the other day too, I truly love growing garlic! I stepped up the space allotted to Big Boy and took out a variety that has underperformed for years. The Big boy garlic is truly huge, the biggest true garlic (Porcelain) I have ever seen! Klaus
I planted a total of 84 cloves. I'm planting later this year because it has still been warm. I had to look up Big Boy garlic. It appears to be well suited for your climate and is said to be similar to Music. The garlicseed web site (in Canada) that carries that variety recommends doing a cover crop the season before planting garlic which I found interesting. Most web sites don't include that little tip. Since I did that with my planting, I curious if it will make a difference next year. Thanks for watching Klaus.
@@stevefromthegarden1135 I wouldn’t be surprised if the website you are referring to is John Boy Garlic Farm, that’s where ours comes from. They are organic growers! I am thinking about buying their garlic growing E book!
Do you mean at harvest time or during the time you're breaking apart the bulbs? If just before planting when you're separating the bulbs, the cloves can be really tight against each other. I try to cut the outer paper part between the cloves with a knife. This makes it easier to open the bulb where I can get the knife in between the tight cloves. I always end up with some that lose the protective skin. That is why I hold back more of the largest bulbs than I should need to make sure I have enough I can go through to get the cloves I need for planting. Also, for hard neck garlic, once you break the stem and root section off from the bottom of the cloves, they have less support holding them together.
I just planted mine a week ago. Zone 5/6 I went with all Ivan this year. I had good luck with it this year. Brian sent me over to see your natural vs inorganic hydroponics. Can you give me the link. I'm going to try it with my aero gardens this winter. He said you have some good ideas.👍🏼🪱😁🍅🌶️
Good luck on your garlic. I use the regular hydroponic nutrients for growing lettuce with good results. Brian did the natural route. My most recent video on it was titled "Restarting Hydroponic Lettuce - Growing Lettuce FAST" Thanks for watching
Hi Steve,
Nice job on planting Garlic 🧄
I always enjoy watching you set up your garden.
Take care, My Friend
❤Peggy❤
Thanks for watching Peggy.
Great tutorial Steve! Enjoyed it! Take care my friend!
Thanks for watching Mike. Hope you had a good season.
Hi Steve, fabulous bed prep and management. It will be interesting to see whether you get larger bulbs this year.

Perfect timing. Planting today in my Denver, Zone 5B garden. Expecting our first frost/snow this week.
Snow coming already? lol..Winter comes quick in the mountains. Good luck on planting today and your harvest next year. Thanks for watching Leslie.

Good plan Tom. Something like a 17 G tote should work for garlic and give the garlic the weather protection they need.
hi steve great selection youve got there ,hope all is well stay safe mate

Helloooooooooo, Steve!!!!!!!!! Garlic, my arch nemesis. Never grows for me for some reason. Always rots even in different mixes in my containers.
Thanks for watching Tom. I think you might need a larger container than a milk crate. Maybe something 50% larger.

@@WhatWeDoChannel You are correct. It is John Boy Farms. 😃 Their prices seem pretty reasonable for the Big Boy.
When are you going to put another video out ??
@@myrondrong6636 I should have a new video next weekend as I begin my earliest seed starting. Thanks for checking in. 👍
Hey Steve! How's it going.
Doing well Jeanne. With the garden season at an end for the year, I have been busy working on other things. Thanks for watching.
I had issues this year with most of my cloves losing their paper. What causes that?
Do you mean at harvest time or during the time you're breaking apart the bulbs? If just before planting when you're separating the bulbs, the cloves can be really tight against each other. I try to cut the outer paper part between the cloves with a knife. This makes it easier to open the bulb where I can get the knife in between the tight cloves.
