One of the reasons why we like watching your harvesting videos is because of how excited you get which makes us get excited for you :D Very fun! I've grown garlic two years in a row now and will never go back :D
Why don't you change the spacing within a single bed in a single year? Go from 6 inches on one end to 1 inch on the other, reducing consistently. That will give you the most scientific results.
That's what I was thinking too. You can't publish your results without a control group, Luke! ;) The control helps you account for other variables (e.g. temperature, weather, soil quality, etc.) that might vary year to year.
I love your garden and your gardening videos Luke! Starting to do gardening myself here in my country Malaysia (Kuala Lumpur). Used to happily garden in Logan, Utah when I was a student there in 1990s. Every summer Utah State University would rent a plot of land to students for a just a dirt cheap fee of USD20 per semester, free watering provided (sprinkler system)..200 plots for 200 students..came evening it was a great social gathering at these plots, we would garden and socialize with neighboring gardeners, exchanging produce..
Mustafa Kamal Satar that sounds amazing. How fortunate for students to have that opportunity. I’m glad you have decided to start gardening again as it is so rewarding. I wish you abundance 😀
What a great introduction to gardening. It's wonderful to hear from people from all over the world who also garden. Best of luck with your gardening in Malaysia (Kuala Lumpur). I hope you share stories of your results, your challenges and successes.
I am just stoked that you are so stoked. I'm dropping in a whole bunch of garlic. Love the Babble because you are just so pumped. Wholesome, unfiltered Luke is great
What if you separate your garlic area and do two different spacing areas to speed up the testing? I love that you guys push boundaries! It’s obviously rewarding!
I planted garlic in the fall. I bought garlic cloves from the Migardner store. Just harvested from my raised garden bed. The garlic is curing now. I have been so jazzed with the outcome. Thank you for your videos. I will definitely plant again this fall!
We had a good garlic harvest this year too. We try to use everything. The leaves get turned into dumplings and small ones get pickled. I’m planning on using some of their bulbs to plant this year’s crops since you recommended doing it to naturalize them. I’m glad your harvest is great!
You are ze best as we say in Holland, I love this channel & I am learning so much.Danke! You have helped us, much appreciated! Got some of the elastic string & it is ze best thing ever for our tomatoes, Thank You for the tip!
I cut up ripped nylon knee hi stockings. I t works great to tie up plants and it’s free! I just cut them in rings and then cut each ring to make a short strip.
Well done with all that beautiful garlic!!! It is funny to hear you are toasting at 87F when it remains above a 100 from July to September here :)....Cairo Egypt. I don't have a garden and I try to grow in pots on my balcony, and I have to thank you for all the info I have been getting over the years since I started growing from your channel. Although it is usually hard to follow up your planting schedules because of the extreme variation between our climates, yet the general tips have been incredibly helpful. Thanks again!
I harvested my first successful crop a couple weeks ago, out of grocery store heads! Planted 72 cloves in 8 square feet, and I harvested 64 nice size heads. I've learned so much from you. Thank you so much! 💜💙💜
I always mince up the small heads in a food processor with a little olive oil, it helps the shelf life and you have a nice fresh bottle of spoonable garlic for cooking in a quick pinch.
me too. mid march, here in seattle. they arent all THAT huge bc our weather decided to cooperate fully only recently, but they are so nice. and ~mine~ which always makes them taste better. couple months and then its fall garlic. 🧄onions 🧅 and potatoes🥔!!!
I love how excited you get as if your still a new grower. I have only been growing for about 2 years since we bought our house. I have started orange trees from seed and always am so excited to see what grows even though it drives my husband crazy because I always show him pictures. I love your videos.
This is my first year growing garlic. I planted in late November. It's just know starting to grow much faster. I also use the back to eden method which keeps me from having to water most of the year because the ground below the wood chips is always moist. Now I do have to comment. I watched several of your videos on garlic. The first one you said you can just buy the seed garlic in the store and didn't really have to buy it online. Lol.
It's wonderful seeing how happy you are with your harvest! I planted garlic for the first time last November in zone 4b - I'm praying for a bountiful harvest as well! Planted a hard-neck variety. So far the greens sure do look beautiful so we'll see!
I planted a bed the same size as yours. I tried shallots for the first time this year also. I planted both hard and softneck. You answered my questions as to why some heads were big and some smaller. I have peeled and frozen some and plan on dehydrating and making my own minced garlic and powder. I'm pretty sure I did mine about two inches also mainly because I had so many cloves to plant. Garlic is probably my most favorite crop to grow (along with tomatoes, potatoes, sweet potatoes and okra). I also like the element of "Surprise" when you plant vegetables that grow under the ground!! Some people might be interested in seeing what to do with garlic after it is picked (drying the heads).
Harvested my first ever garlic Friday. Smaller than I would have hoped but first time, homegrown, organic and will be delicious! Used the scapes to make 3-4 batches of pesto which was glorious too.
CONGRATS!!, you learned what i did, you can grow garlic closer then what is recommened,, have you ever used extra NITROGEN on your onions and garlic? that gets them spicer also,,, that was a great harvest you got
I really enjoyed watching your garlic harvest! We grow 2 acres of organic hard neck garlic on our farm in NY. We are getting ready to harvest ours in a couple weeks. Garlic is so much fun to grow!
Luke inspired me to grow garlic when I was first getting really serious about gardening. Now, 4-5 years later, it's still one of my favorite things to grow!
Yeah it was about a hundred degrees with a three thousand percent humidity in Dallas today. All I pretty much did it is harvest some tomatoes and peppers that my goats didn't eat for me.
You are so funny.......... "that your goats didn't eat for you". Those tomatos and peppers are true survivors in that heat and food competition...... and 😎😍😀
I am a little south in Killeen/Ft Hood area, it’s been brutal. My garden’s only saving grace this year is that I’ve done a somewhat decent job of making my soil more fertile and so moisture retention is better. I go out very early or later at night, the day heat is too much for this northern native.
I agree. It's been humid. I was in Richland hills a couple days ago. 94° then it rained for twenty minutes. The heat index was 111°. My skin starts crying when it gets that hot.
In Permaculture gardening, you learn to also strategically place your garlic, onions, & chives around your plants that you need to deter pests from the most. I border all my gardening areas with garlic and onions. They WILL grow just about everywhere. I get heads this size in Missouri (with our really hard nasty clay soil) in areas wehre the sopil has not been ammended with anything. I only put them in ammended beds when they are there specifically as a pets deterent. They don't even need all that soile ammending.
Absolutely amazing! Thank you for the extra tip at the end. I already know what to do with garlic, but it made the adventure feel more complete. What are you going to be planting in that bed next? And will there be a rest period of any kind in between? I know you don’t like to leave the soil exposed for too long. Keep up the great work! These videos bring me so much joy to watch even though I’m not learning too much, just because I’ve been watching you for four years😊
I just pulled my garlic today. I got a few big heads, but for the most part, they were small. Better luck next year. And I did buy all of mine from your store.
To maximize the harvest without wasting the inner cloves could you plant the outer cloves, and use the inner cloves for granulated garlic or dried minced garlic? You would get the best cloves in the ground, without wasting, and preserving some garlic for use after you run out of fresh garlic.
We planted our garlic in early November and then there was a couple of days of warm weather, the garlic started growing and now is cold again. The tips look burnt. We don’t know if we should water them or cut them down, or what? 😆 😊
I have made a lot of Garlic chive powder since the bulbs don't get big for me. To me, growing Garlic just for the bulb is a waste of growing space. I would cut the green parts off and salvage the non woody parts. Then use some fresh, or dried and ground. It all tastes like garlic. People should also try eating pre fertilized Leek and Onion blossoms to.
My neighbor tried to grow this giant Russian Garlic . There was an old Elk . Cut loose from the herd . It ate the Garlic . 5 acres of it . They didn't mind .
.......the miraculous garlic imbued with centuries of healing energy replenished the Ancient Elk's mana, restoring his youth and vigor. He returned to his herd, challenged and defeated all who dared face him. Immune to injury, illness and old age, he is The Defender. To this day, he rules and protects his herd with the wisdom and compassion gathered throughout his long life. Every morning he looks upon the old garlic field and offers a prayer of gratitude to The Creator of All Existence and renews his Vow of Friendship to the humans who unknowingly planted the Everlasting Allium. What can I say? Your story is inspirational.......and I watch way too much anime.
If you are in a climate where you get freezing temps, Yes ! I'm in zone 6a NE Ohio and I mulch mine with ground up maple leaves, about 6"s...In the fall, they will grow through the mulch and that's OK. They will go dormant through the winter and restart growing when the soil warms up in the Spring....If you are warmer climates, mulch to help keep in the moisture and control weeds.
Mr. migardener, I am a single mom started a homestead. I have acquired a few seeds for my first garden. But I haven't found onion seeds or comfrey seeds. Can you share some with me?
They sell them in oriental grocery stores. Long before the blossom opens I guess, just from what I've seen in those stores, in years past. It is consumed as a vegetable.
Heidi Misfeldt i made pesto with my scapes cut them off 2-3 weeks ago the longer u wait the more hard and fiberous they are which i dislike i prefer to harvest before or as they curl
Ok please answer I have been growing lettuce and the top is like growing into I guess a flower and it looks like a weed but it’s coming from the lettuce can you help me I’m so confused and I don’t know what to do
Congrats on that awesome garlic crop. I'd like to try to plant (a little bit) of it myself. I like the idea of planting in the fall for spring growth and summer harvest. Thanks for showing us!
I purchased some of your garlic last year and just harvested - first time attempting to grow garlic. I've done something wrong - they're very small (about the size of a marble). I want to try again this year - what did I do wrong? Zone 7b.
Such fun! Zone 4 Canada here, so 2-3 weeks trailing you. The scapes have looped so I will cut the scapes today. I planted 9 rows of 12-15 cloves in early Oct. 99% made it. Cultivars: Red Rezan, Susan Delafield, Majestic, Great Northern. It's nice you share your harvest, I do as well. Everyone, if you haven't yet, please grow a little garlic! It is such a joy to see it peeking through the straw come spring. A tiny 2' x 2' space can yield lots! 6 rows of 6 = 36 cloves! That's with 4" spacing.
Hi ! I just lay mine out on a table on my covered porch for a few weeks or less...It helps the paper skin develop so they store longer. Hard neck doesn't store as long(around 6 months) as soft neck. If you want the BEST Garlic Powder, peel your garlic, run it through your food processor to make a slurry, put slurry on fruit leather trays and dehydrate it until crispy dry, then grind in your blender to the consistency you want (granular to fine powder) ! You will never buy garlic powder from a store again ! I'm down to my last tablespoon of my garlic powder ! I better get harvesting !!! :} (NE Ohio, zone 6a) UPDATE...I just got in from harvesting All of my garlic...Now to wait for it to cure ! :D
Unless you have something that is day length specific, grow what you want when you want in L.A. Citrus too. Water cost is your only limitation. Probably a good place for his core garden bed method.
Two years in a row my garlic hasn't grown. Last year it disintegrated, this year it did nothing more than send up shoots. When I harvested it, it was still no larger than the single clove I planted in September. I have no doubt it's been the stock I've been buying, packaged, organic shipped up from a company in Florida. I'm definitely looking to buy from a farmers market this year.
Where are you located ? Hard neck is better for colder climates as they over winter better. Soft neck is better for warmer climates. What kind did you plant ? Hard neck gets scapes if that helps you identify...
What kind of strawberry’s are your favorite? Can I still start a bed this year? Or is it too late? I’m in NW Missouri zone 5b. Satan’s armpit? 😂😂😂 It’s that hot here too!
Harvested my first patch of garlic yesterday also. You were so right....garlic is so easy to grow. I dehydrate mine and make garlic powder. And ferment some as well.
Congratulations on a phenomenal garlic harvest! Mine was ready here in DE, two weeks ago. I bought one head of hard neck from a local farm, it had been grown in my state. I planted 6 cloves for the fun of it and I was not disappointed! I cannot wait to plant more in October! Hopefully I will be able to order some from your store!
"It is hotter and muggier than satan's armpit", best laugh of the day LOLOLOL!

Agree. I have to come back and watch when I get tired of my gardening days, lol! Watching a video gets me excited again.
What if you separate your garlic area and do two different spacing areas to speed up the testing? I love that you guys push boundaries! It’s obviously rewarding!
Great Harvest 🧄 Thx for sharing.
Hey Luke, you should do a ‘watering my garden’ video!
I planted garlic in the fall. I bought garlic cloves from the Migardner store. Just harvested from my raised garden bed. The garlic is curing now. I have been so jazzed with the outcome. Thank you for your videos. I will definitely plant again this fall!
Love how excited you are about your garlic harvest😊

Most excellent! Got me excited to grow garlic again. There is nothing like the flavor of home grown garlic.
You are ze best as we say in Holland, I love this channel & I am learning so much.Danke! You have helped us, much appreciated! Got some of the elastic string & it is ze best thing ever for our tomatoes, Thank You for the tip!

Because as he said it’s hotter than Satan’s armpit. Satan’s armpit is moist, icky and gross. Not hot and dry. Humidity is really hard to handle! Lol!
Thanks for the tips! Looking forward to getting some unique varieties of garlic from you this year!
One of my faves garlic, I love garlic
Wow. Great tips. Thank you.
I harvested my first successful crop a couple weeks ago, out of grocery store heads! Planted 72 cloves in 8 square feet, and I harvested 64 nice size heads.
I've learned so much from you. Thank you so much!
💜💙💜
I always mince up the small heads in a food processor with a little olive oil, it helps the shelf life and you have a nice fresh bottle of spoonable garlic for cooking in a quick pinch.
This is how my spring garlic looks here in southeast Wyoming I planted in late February and the cloves are large
me too. mid march, here in seattle. they arent all THAT huge bc our weather decided to cooperate fully only recently, but they are so nice. and ~mine~ which always makes them taste better.
couple months and then its fall garlic. 🧄onions 🧅 and potatoes🥔!!!
Dylan Ashley mine too, planted in March here in Saint Louis and they have a decent bulb
Amber T. That’s sweet though!!!
Nikki Cooper heck yeah that’s awesome what growing zone are you?
Dylan Ashley I’m in a 6a microclimate pocket. Mine aren’t as large as his largest one but I have good sized cloves.😀
I love how excited you get as if your still a new grower. I have only been growing for about 2 years since we bought our house.

"We really wanted to plant garlic, but we didn't have thyme."
"Don't worry, it's all seasonal anyway!"
Nice
Play on words
This is 100% on next autumn. Omg so much garlic!! Was fun to watch Luke get so excited harvesting garlic 😂
Very fun to watch
Your daughter is so cute.... great little worker and you are so good with her! Nancy from Canada
It's wonderful seeing how happy you are with your harvest! I planted garlic for the first time last November in zone 4b - I'm praying for a bountiful harvest as well! Planted a hard-neck variety. So far the greens sure do look beautiful so we'll see!
I have to check mine now!

My 100% organic garlic harvest is planned for July 15. I planted 70 cloves of hard-neck garlic on November 1.
So informative and looks amazing in a pair of shorts.
I really enjoyed watching your garlic harvest! We grow 2 acres of organic hard neck garlic on our farm in NY. We are getting ready to harvest ours in a couple weeks. Garlic is so much fun to grow!
Planted my first experimental garlic last October. Just pulled them a couple weeks ago and they were HUGE! The size of my palm, easy.
Luke inspired me to grow garlic when I was first getting really serious about gardening. Now, 4-5 years later, it's still one of my favorite things to grow!
Yeah it was about a hundred degrees with a three thousand percent humidity in Dallas today. All I pretty much did it is harvest some tomatoes and peppers that my goats didn't eat for me.
No, it was four thousand degrees humidity, no laughing matter my gardening friend.Grow Big or Go Home as Luc says!
You are so funny.......... "that your goats didn't eat for you".
Those tomatos and peppers are true survivors in that heat and food competition...... and 😎😍😀
Awww, that was nice of the goats to do that for you! 😂🐐👍

Love the channel an the product lots of my plants are from your seeds
I just pulled my garlic today. I got a few big heads, but for the most part, they were small. Better luck next year. And I did buy all of mine from your store.
After watching this I am planting garlic on October 27! Just like you said. I am trying two inches.
I will definitely try growing garlic starting this fall.
To maximize the harvest without wasting the inner cloves could you plant the outer cloves, and use the inner cloves for granulated garlic or dried minced garlic? You would get the best cloves in the ground, without wasting, and preserving some garlic for use after you run out of fresh garlic.
I will be trying fall garlic for the first time this year!
me too!!! big excited.
amfree2dance well I would say don’t buy elephant garlic! It is not the same as the regular “cloves of garlic” garlic heads.
Me too! Thanks to Luke’s recommendation
Me too. 👍🏻
Dido!
My garlic is just sprouting now so I'll be looking forward to a big harvest near Christmas time
@Rick Black I live in Australia so no snow here 👌
Where you at? Wondering if I can plant mine now in So Cal and can you plant them next to 🧅 onion new new new please someone help
My garlic is just about ready. Chicago area. You did have some huge bulbs
Please make a tea growing series!!! From black, all the way to hibiscus. We want to know how to grow it all.
We planted our garlic in early November and then there was a couple of days of warm weather, the garlic started growing and now is cold again. The tips look burnt. We don’t know if we should water them or cut them down, or what? 😆 😊

use the biggest ones to plant latter on this fall for next year
Very nice harvest..i definitely need to plant some garlic here
Will have to try garlic again-- last time I believe I planted it way too early!
Use a hand trowel to loosen them up. That will make the job much easier!!!
Awesome 👍🏻
So will you save the biggest to plant next year? or will you have to start fresh? Wondering if any will keep that long.
What will you succession plant there...anything? And will you plant garlic in the same place this fall?
My neighbor tried to grow this giant Russian Garlic . There was an old Elk . Cut loose from the herd . It ate the Garlic . 5 acres of it . They didn't mind .
That elk must have become incredibly healthy and have some awesome garlic breath after.... no kidding.
I love to hear people's gardening stories. My goodness this is a good one. Thanks for sharing it.
.......the miraculous garlic imbued with centuries of healing energy replenished the Ancient Elk's mana, restoring his youth and vigor. He returned to his herd, challenged and defeated all who dared face him. Immune to injury, illness and old age, he is The Defender. To this day, he rules and protects his herd with the wisdom and compassion gathered throughout his long life. Every morning he looks upon the old garlic field and offers a prayer of gratitude to The Creator of All Existence and renews his Vow of Friendship to the humans who unknowingly planted the Everlasting Allium. What can I say? Your story is inspirational.......and I watch way too much anime.
Other than the scape, are the remaining greens edible as well? What do you do with the green tops after harvesting the bulbs?
LUKE... HELP!!!
I need more Trifecta!
Everytime I check, it's out of stock.
😥
Hopefully he's working on producing more. Same issue here
Hey migardener was wondering if it was to late to plant some store bought surger baby watermelon from those green houses?
Question: Is it beneficial to cut the escapes when they appear to promote the growth of the garlic head and when is the best time to do it?
Do you plant your garlic in the same bed each year or do you rotate it?
Garlic is good for body as it the strongest system immune and is should for the chironis
I wish you well
Does it hurt if I let the garlic cure longer? Mine should be ready to trim this weekend but I will be gone for two weeks.
Will definitely be planting my garlic 2” apart this year!!
From one mi to another it’s warm for another week ugghh
gogo garlic
Do you have to cover the garlic you planted in the fall before winter comes?
If you are in a climate where you get freezing temps, Yes ! I'm in zone 6a NE Ohio and I mulch mine with ground up maple leaves, about 6"s...In the fall, they will grow through the mulch and that's OK. They will go dormant through the winter and restart growing when the soil warms up in the Spring....If you are warmer climates, mulch to help keep in the moisture and control weeds.
pattihabby thank you for your help, I live in Virginia so I will have to cover.
@@donnaa4775 You're Welcome ! So Glad I Could Help ! Enjoy !
Great video! I laughed out loud several times.🤣🤣🤣
Satan's armpit?!?! XD
😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁
Even though I know what he said, I just read "Santa's Armpit!"
Will you have anything you will plant in that bed now? Or save for another fall planting?
I was wondering what you were going to do with the bed too.
I'm in 6b i'm planting carrots when I pull my garlic july 4th. I'm going to transplant pepper plants around the bed too.
We gotta get this man a baseball
LMAO :D
I have huge hands. It was closer to a baseball than it was to a golf ball.
i am also growing garlic but i planted it in may
Are the heads of hard necked garlic usually smaller than the soft neck? Thanks for this.
what happens if you plant garlic in the same planter every year?
Mr. migardener, I am a single mom started a homestead. I have acquired a few seeds for my first garden. But I haven't found onion seeds or comfrey seeds. Can you share some with me?
when is the best time to harvest the scapes?
They sell them in oriental grocery stores. Long before the blossom opens I guess, just from what I've seen in those stores, in years past. It is consumed as a vegetable.
Heidi Misfeldt i made pesto with my scapes cut them off 2-3 weeks ago the longer u wait the more hard and fiberous they are which i dislike i prefer to harvest before or as they curl
I harvest mine when there is 1 curl and before the stem gets to hard. OR whenever I'm out there and I see them !!! :D
Right when the form. The younger the more tender they are.
MIgardener thanks happy 4th!
@MIgardener so will you be doing 2" spacing this fall, or go even tighter?
Do you have Common Milkweed seeds?
Ok please answer I have been growing lettuce and the top is like growing into I guess a flower and it looks like a weed but it’s coming from the lettuce can you help me I’m so confused and I don’t know what to do
Congrats on that awesome garlic crop. I'd like to try to plant (a little bit) of it myself. I like the idea of planting in the fall for spring growth and summer harvest. Thanks for showing us!
I was sadly disappointed in my three plants. First time growing it but my bulbs are only about the size of a quarter. Can I replant these in the fall?
I purchased some of your garlic last year and just harvested - first time attempting to grow garlic. I've done something wrong - they're very small (about the size of a marble). I want to try again this year - what did I do wrong? Zone 7b.
Thank you so much for your great videos! You've inspired me and I'll be planting garlic this fall!
Mine was all small a quarter or less. Was very disappointed!
Anyone know what Epsom salt is good for ( on plants) wondering if any other gardeners have used it.
what do you do with all those garlic? How long can they be stored?
Roughly 3 to 10 months depending on the variety and conditions
What variety? I was thinking of trying "Music" this fall.
My favorite!!!!!
Such fun! Zone 4 Canada here, so 2-3 weeks trailing you. The scapes have looped so I will cut the scapes today. I planted 9 rows of 12-15 cloves in early Oct. 99% made it. Cultivars: Red Rezan, Susan Delafield, Majestic, Great Northern. It's nice you share your harvest, I do as well. Everyone, if you haven't yet, please grow a little garlic! It is such a joy to see it peeking through the straw come spring. A tiny 2' x 2' space can yield lots! 6 rows of 6 = 36 cloves! That's with 4" spacing.
I planted 144 cloves or garlic. Mine will be ready in the next 2-3 weeks. I am just concerned about storing it. Have never dried garlic before
Hi ! I just lay mine out on a table on my covered porch for a few weeks or less...It helps the paper skin develop so they store longer. Hard neck doesn't store as long(around 6 months) as soft neck. If you want the BEST Garlic Powder, peel your garlic, run it through your food processor to make a slurry, put slurry on fruit leather trays and dehydrate it until crispy dry, then grind in your blender to the consistency you want (granular to fine powder) ! You will never buy garlic powder from a store again ! I'm down to my last tablespoon of my garlic powder ! I better get harvesting !!! :} (NE Ohio, zone 6a) UPDATE...I just got in from harvesting All of my garlic...Now to wait for it to cure ! :D
I know you’re in Michigan but I’m in Los Angeles Ca and I was wondering if you had a video for crop for different climates/seasons.
Unless you have something that is day length specific, grow what you want when you want in L.A. Citrus too. Water cost is your only limitation. Probably a good place for his core garden bed method.
Rob Kinney thanks! I love these videos but sometimes he talks about winters and over here, it’s summer time part 2 during that season
what a vampire day-mare! all that delicious garlic! 😀
Two years in a row my garlic hasn't grown. Last year it disintegrated, this year it did nothing more than send up shoots. When I harvested it, it was still no larger than the single clove I planted in September. I have no doubt it's been the stock I've been buying, packaged, organic shipped up from a company in Florida. I'm definitely looking to buy from a farmers market this year.
Where are you located ? Hard neck is better for colder climates as they over winter better. Soft neck is better for warmer climates. What kind did you plant ? Hard neck gets scapes if that helps you identify...
Planning on killing a bunch of vampires with all that garlic?
What kind of strawberry’s are your favorite? Can I still start a bed this year? Or is it too late? I’m in NW Missouri zone 5b. Satan’s armpit? 😂😂😂 It’s that hot here too!
We are neighbors! Usually you put garlic in the fall. Are you in the Springfield area by any chance?
Ms.April no I’m clear up in the NW corner north of St Joseph!
Harvested my first patch of garlic yesterday also. You were so right....garlic is so easy to grow. I dehydrate mine and make garlic powder. And ferment some as well.
How can I order garlic and other seeds from you
Congratulations on a phenomenal garlic harvest! Mine was ready here in DE, two weeks ago. I bought one head of hard neck from a local farm, it had been grown in my state. I planted 6 cloves for the fun of it and I was not disappointed! I cannot wait to plant more in October! Hopefully I will be able to order some from your store!
Great! How do you store it?
