We are blessed with sandy soil but I swear it eats all my organic material I put on the garden, it's a ton of work keeping beds topped off because of how fast it's consuming it
Cut the tops off of the carrots, about a half-inch to an inch, and replant them and you'll get seed in the spring. Then you don't waste the carrot but you still get the seed.
I grow my garlic in a 3x6 raised bed with at least 4 cloves per square foot. I amend my soil with chicken manure compost and potting soil from my emptied containers. I cover with a couple inches of straw and forget about it until spring. In June, after I harvest the garlic, I amend the bed again and plant winter squash. It works pretty well for me.
Rachel, I am just addicted to you and Todd and this channel! I live in Philly now, but I was born and raised in Michigan (and certified Master Gardener in MI). I can’t do much gardening anymore due to a disability, but I love watching you pour so much love and energy into your garden and harvests, and preserving. I just love you guys. Thank you for so much enjoyable and informative content! ❤️
@@1870s Rachel, the Master Gardiner program *is* impressive, but you are MORE impressive! You are my very favorite kind of gardener- knowledgeable, for sure, but most of all ENTHUSIASTIC! When I watch you harvest your carrots or your SWEET POTATOES, it makes me want to cry!

Hey. That 1870 Homestead. The garden harvest looks good. I wish, I could have a garden, but I live in the Bronx, New York. My home is the projects. But we have a farmers market, and I get my veggies when they come to the neighborhood. But I love your garden. God Bless and be safe. ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Great video. Real gardening is the best! Love your channel. Now I’m really excited to get my carrots planted. Your weather now, is like our winter here in central Texas. Your soil is amazing, too. God bless. 👏🏻💕👏🏻
Hahahahahaha I am 5ft 4in & that is exactly how I measure everything- problem over here when ordering stuff we are in Meters/ Millimeters etc. We plant our garlic in April here - I pulled a lot of my carrots & got a beautiful harvest & have already re-sown- Thankyou & Todd for teaching me how to can carrots & heaps of other goodies & encouraging me to get a pressure canner - LOVE IT. Cheers your friend Denise - Australia
Love your Fall carrot harvest! I'm planting my first garlic cloves today. My soil doesn't look as wonderful as yours, but I amended, composted and fluffed as much as I could this year.
We are in zone 3/4 so I planted my garlic after the first frost, and we had 10 days of ok weather before a deep snowfall. So I am so excited to see what happens in the spring. I grew garlic once before when we lived in zone 7. Love garlic! Thanks for sharing the amendments!!!!
I planted garlic 2 weeks ago, first time. New Mexico ,7b, in 2 containers. Topped with a little shredded straw. Had our first snow storm last Monday. Not common here in Oct. I am looking forward to the harvest in late spring or early summer.
When you laid on the ground I thought for a moment you were trying to ‘be at one with the Earth’. Your carrots look wonderful, small pleasures in growing and eating your own produce.
It's been an exhausting year, I think we all feel it. My garden is usually my sanctuary and this year I was extra tired at the end of the season also. Garlic is one of my favorites to grow! Hope you get a great harvest next year!
Great video! I love watching all your videos. Here in Maine the frost goes 4 feet deep so leaving carrots in the ground over winter doesn't work unless we pile straw 3 feet deep over it. Too much of a hassle for me so we just get the one crop of carrots for the year.
Planting my garlic at the end of this week. I always wait until squaw winter (first light snow) happens and plant in Indian summer. (Warm spell after a freeze )
Hopefully planting our garlic this week in central Illinois. It's just been too cold and wet here but this week it's predicted to be in the sixties. Blessings.
I'm in Northeast PA where NJ/PA/NY meet. I'm planting my garlic this weekend. I'm late doing it as well. I'm trying a new method well not new for potatoes. trying the Irish method of putting them in, in the fall.
Loved you rmeasurement system! Here is some trivia. If you stand up straight and hold your arms out, get someone to measure from fingertip to fingertip and that should equal your height...for the average person. And, sometimes it is just fun to lay down in the garden. Keep up the great work!
I planted my garlic beginning of October but I was thinking about planting more! We've had two snowfalls already here in Wisconsin. This entire week is going to be in the 60s so I will be doing a lot of clean up in the garden as well.
I am just planting mine in WI too. Thanks to God we have a nice week to finish things. Im so behind. Just canned 40 lbs tomatoes yesterday after letting them ripen in the windows. 😂
I am looking forward to seeing how you amend the beds. Mine are already done, except that we will throw table scraps on them over the winter. But I mulched the leaves as they dropped from the trees and put some in the gardens, some in a huge pile for composting. I am excited to sit down and order seeds for next year!
A little late, but I think you will be fine. I was later than usual planting my 203, cloves, but with the wood chips covering them, I think I am safe. Sad to see another growing season come to a close, but with my rabbits and chickens, ministry and new things happening, I will be busy. Love and blessings to you both.
I'm zone 5b Ontario. Planted for first time 3wks ago and last week they were sprouting already 😳 Hoping that was ok. Got our first snow squalls last night but it's going back up to 19c in a few days. Crazy weather.
What do you plant when you pull your garlic? I’m up north in the Yoop, and planted 117 cloves in about 6’ of one of my 4’x8’ beds.. Your carrots looked like the kind of bouquet any homestead lady would love to carry as* she walks down the aisle.. maybe throw a few beets in there 😍🤣
Lol, that would be precious! Maybe some swiss chard for the greenery. This year I planted those carrots where my garlic had been growing. Last year I did bush beans
Such beautiful carrots! I didn't get many at all this fall. It just to hot here in Alabama for fall carrots. I tried several times but maybe all of those seeds will come up in the spring. :)
Ive never tried fall peas but there are about 7 plants from my spring planting that replanted themselves(I let my peas go to seed for this coming year, just in case of another seed rush like this year). I have to say I havent dobe much cleaning out there either as the plants on the tunnel and other trellises were still going until just last week. But the chickens did get a lot of little green tomatoes the past few weeks. I did have a couple experimental plants (like 2 or 3 of each) of beans. Turtle beans and mung beans. I ended up with a somewhat nice harvest from both kinds of beans so will be putting them in a bigger amount next year. I was really excited that I could grow mung beans here in MI. If i can grow enough to make my winter sprouting needs a reality it will be worth the garden space. I also grow garlic where ever I can plop some in. My great grandparents brought walking onions and hardneck with them when they immigrated here. I do plant a few soft neck types but only because the cloves from the store are sprouting and why waste them. I do allow a few of grandmas garlic set topsets and I sprinkle them back into my flower beds for wild back ups to my harvest beds. They grow themselves and self seed all throughout the herb/flower beds, and even with neglect I have been able to harvest if I need extra that year. Sure the wild ones are not huge but they still taste wonderful. Tatsoi is my new favorite Asian green. And I'm still harvesting little ones that self sowed when I was winnowing the seeds this year. Along with the bazillion lettuce starts from winnowing my seeds. If you plop a few bales of straw over your carrots they should stay nice in the ground until needed in the winter but that can be a pain to harvest in deep winter. I'm thinking about making tops for my raised beds to see if I can get cartots and parsnips to winter over for harvest as needed.
Hiya! Cracked me up when you measured with your body. I do stuff like that all the time. It's a good guesstemator! 🤠 Although your post is about garlic, I latched onto your beans reference, and space. I was thinking you could grow um all along your garden fence line. Prime realestate... 🤓
I’m surprised you put the garlic straight in the ground, wondering about your yearly spring floods? I though you said you were going to mound up your soil so it wouldn’t get flooded again. Lovely carrots! I’m as excited as you are about them! Do you remember what the date was when you planted them? Id like to do that next year. I have some planted in my greenhouse and they are little sprouts, not growing very fast. It’s an experiment, we’ll see if we get anything. They’re covered during the night with frost cloth and I have lights at night and a propane heater in there.
Those carrots, nice work! You said you planted them in the Fall.... ? I live in the North too and my carrots only got 1-2 inches after waiting all Summer and Fall. I guess we need to plant earlier. I'm also planning to plant garlic this week, hope it works out for both of us!
Why do you buy seed garlic? I save garlic from my harvest and then replant some each October. I live in Ohio (a similar zone as you) and plant hardneck and softneck varieties. Both types do well for me.
I bought it before my harvest was in, was nervous about my harvest this year with the spring floods I got. Glad I ended up buying some as a back up because my harvest didn't end up with very large bulbs.
I love your channel! I’m looking for the fence you have around your veggie patch but having trouble. Can you please tell me what it is, the size and where you bought it?? Thanks so much!
Nice carrots! Here in Minnesota our garlic needs to get in by mid oct and I missed the deadline this year. We are zone 4 and our frostline goes 4 ft deep so they wouldnt get enough of a start. However I do have some garlic left over that I am still going to plant this week, and mulch heavily and hope for the best. It is mostly an experiment, so what can it hurt? The only thing left in my garden is some kale that is still getting some new growth even after two 4 inch snows, a few super heavy frosts and a few days down to 4 degrees. Im watching to see how long it will grow and produce for us. I had no idea that you would be zone 6 up there! I thought you had the same cold that we have here. Always learning! Thanks for the garden stuff!
What about that Tatsoi? I grew that this year and it was good in the beginning but what I froze taste like horseradish. It was sweet in the beginning of the season like spinach. I tried to make artichoke spinach dip with it this week from the freezer and wow it did not taste good. What is your best recommendation for spinach in our area?
Just went to a county extension class on planting garlic, They advised not putting bone meal on garlic or any edible plant as there is a danger of getting mad cow disease. Don't know if this is true or not.
Very nice carrots! I should try a second carrot crop next year. I live in zone 3/4....I got my garlic in before winter came and gave us a deep snow pack and very cold.....THEN.... I received in the mail a shipment of garlic I forgot about....now the snow is all but gone and will b 60-70 this week....so a perfect unplanned experiment ....I will plant about 60 cloves of garlic about a month later than the first planting. Excited to see if there is a difference. All those dusty fertilizers u put on, are they all organic? Either way, r u a bit concerned about breathing in any of that dust floating in the air?
When ordering your seeds, how many packets of seed do you order per vegetable? Example: black beans, how many packets do you order? Do you take into account them not producing something?
It depends on how much of a certain vegetable you want to harvest, how many people will you be feeding? And what variety of each thing? And how many seeds in a packet? There are a lot of variables. You can google a lot of the info you need.
Did you see those CARROTS!!!
I am jealous of your loose soil. I have to dig my carrots out with a trowel due to my clay soil being heavy even with years of amendments.
They were obviously happy in your soil. Amazing what adding organic matter can do!
I was totally ear to ear smiling for you. Amazing!!
I’m so jealous!!!
We are blessed with sandy soil but I swear it eats all my organic material I put on the garden, it's a ton of work keeping beds topped off because of how fast it's consuming it

Not late. Perfect time for garlic in your zone. Those varieties are what I planted. Glad to see your sweetie out in the garden. He's a keeper!
He sure is, we usually get our garlic in by 10/15 so I was late for my calendar
Oh my gosh, when you laid on the ground I started laughing so hard cuz I would totally do that. 🤣
If you want to store fresh carrots for a long time, pack them in moist sand in a cool place. They will be good for many months.

I enjoyed the carrots.... it was a rewarding watch.
Wow great haul on the carrots
I just planted my garlic today. 6 varieties. I grew music for several years but decided to pass on it this year.
Gosh I love how excited you get.
Beautiful carrots! Almost like digging a potato crop....don't know what's there until you start digging...or pulling!
Beautiful zanahoria 🥕 and garlic 🧄 I’m going out to plan myself gracias Vesina neighbors!!!!!
Green Arrow is my favorite pea to grow. The carrots are beautiful 🍁

Plant your beans along your perimeter fence in the garden.
Exactly what I thought!

Me too 👍🙏 praying it’s a success as well. Good luck with yours ☺️
Hopefully planting our garlic this week in central Illinois. It's just been too cold and wet here but this week it's predicted to be in the sixties. Blessings.
Thank you
I ordered all my garden seeds for next year. Took your advice. Thanks!
I just placed my order last night 😁

I'm zone 5b Ontario. Planted for first time 3wks ago and last week they were sprouting already 😳 Hoping that was ok. Got our first snow squalls last night but it's going back up to 19c in a few days. Crazy weather.
Oh and I also planted Music & German 😁
@L B Wet and humid here in south central Canada so possibly comparable 😉 but our winters much colder but still humid.
If your cilantro bolts let it. The seeds are coriander. One of the pickling spices.
I did with my spring crop
What do you plant when you pull your garlic? I’m up north in the Yoop, and planted 117 cloves in about 6’ of one of my 4’x8’ beds..
Your carrots looked like the kind of bouquet any homestead lady would love to carry as* she walks down the aisle.. maybe throw a few beets in there 😍🤣
Lol, that would be precious! Maybe some swiss chard for the greenery. This year I planted those carrots where my garlic had been growing. Last year I did bush beans
Here in nw wisc we're expecting 5 days in the low 60's. Odd, but welcome warm up.
Same here, looking forward to not snotting all over myself while doing chores 😜
Such beautiful carrots! I didn't get many at all this fall. It just to hot here in Alabama for fall carrots. I tried several times but maybe all of those seeds will come up in the spring. :)

If i can grow enough to make my winter sprouting needs a reality it will be worth the garden space.
I also grow garlic where ever I can plop some in. My great grandparents brought walking onions and hardneck with them when they immigrated here.
I do plant a few soft neck types but only because the cloves from the store are sprouting and why waste them.
I do allow a few of grandmas garlic set topsets and I sprinkle them back into my flower beds for wild back ups to my harvest beds.

Sure the wild ones are not huge but they still taste wonderful.
Tatsoi is my new favorite Asian green. And I'm still harvesting little ones that self sowed when I was winnowing the seeds this year. Along with the bazillion lettuce starts from winnowing my seeds.
If you plop a few bales of straw over your carrots they should stay nice in the ground until needed in the winter but that can be a pain to harvest in deep winter.
I'm thinking about making tops for my raised beds to see if I can get cartots and parsnips to winter over for harvest as needed.
Hiya! Cracked me up when you measured with your body. I do stuff like that all the time. It's a good guesstemator! 🤠
Although your post is about garlic, I latched onto your beans reference, and space. I was thinking you could grow um all along your garden fence line. Prime realestate... 🤓
If we get the garden re-fencing project done next year it may work
I’m surprised you put the garlic straight in the ground, wondering about your yearly spring floods? I though you said you were going to mound up your soil so it wouldn’t get flooded again.

I used a higher spot in the garden, this section never floods
Good morning ☀️
As my husband can no longer have garlic (Crohn's disease) I miss planting
Those carrots, nice work! You said you planted them in the Fall.... ? I live in the North too and my carrots only got 1-2 inches after waiting all Summer and Fall. I guess we need to plant earlier. I'm also planning to plant garlic this week, hope it works out for both of us!
I planted them at the end of July for my fall harvest
I need that tool.
I just planted mine a couple days ago🤷♀️
I should mention I'm in Texas
I planted garlic in September in south Carolina...I hope I didn't plant too early
I'm seeing sold out for quite a few seed varieties on the websites I order from.
Can you increase your garden space to make place for dry beans?
Great Video again, Rachel :) My peas froze last night :(
What a nice pile of fresh carrots ,I am on the fence about planting my garlic never done before and have a little bag of it but no amendment's .
