I plant elephant garlic that I buy from grocery store. I also grow hardneck and softness. I'm in high desert of California 8b. I always store garlic in fridge for about 1-2 months before planting.
Man oh man I see cowboy candy in your future. I like it mixed with cream cheese and my son who doesn't care for hot peppers at all finds he really likes the cream cheese and cowboy candy to eat on chips, crackers and would even like it on toast. Also the best cowboy candy is a mix of hot peppers with a few of the sweet peppers Incorporated. I'm making myself want a snack of it right now. I have a few elephant garlic planted, plus some coming in the mail soon and a row of hardneck I kept in the fridge for a couple months before planting. I'm not growing as much peppers this coming season as I did last one.
garlic is really good to plant around where your going to plant carrots as it masks the smell from carrots that attracts carrot fly, natural pest control :)
I only have a couple of large raised beds so I am growing out one bulb from the store and three little sampler ones that I bought online. It is my first time growing garlic. I never really knew I could grow this stuff in the winter until your channel.
I am a bit north of you in North Carolina, and I can grow hard neck really well. Russian Red and Purple Creole grow great. I have not had much luck with soft neck, but last year I did have a good bit of California Early bulb out really well.
Garlic is my favorite vegetable to grow. I grow about 80 bulbs of Kettle River Giant each year and have been saving enough of the best for seed stock the next year. A few years ago a friend gave me a bulb of Elephant garlic that had naturalized on her property from a garden sometime in the past. I’ve been growing it out and increasing it every year. This year I have 22. Great video Travis.
I only mess with elephant garlic as well. However I tried just planting corms this year. Some from last year and some from the year before. I saved them but never planted them. I think last years have sprouted but the others may be too old. I definitely don't have nearly as many sprouts as I had corms planted. I may have to take one of my braids off the pantry wall and plant them as well. Trying to keep my seed stock up but still have enough to use. So as much as we use it I'd rather keep it going than have to buy more seed. I've been planting the same garlic for several years from my first purchase. So if anyone wants to plant their corms I suggest doing it the first year and not holding on to them. However I thought planting from corms, harvesting the bulbs and planting them the following year to get actual heads sounded like fun. I just wish I had made room and planted them sooner
I have been growing hard neck garlic here in zone 9B in Solano county, California. I grow mainly Armenian and Turkmenistan garlic. Last year I tried some Spanish and Vietnamese garlic. They didn’t keep very well. I will give it one more try this year, but expect I will return to growing only the Armenian and Turkmenistan varieties of garlic in the future. Last year I waited too long to harvest it. The cloves were very large, but the heads were a bit loose.
So you say that: all four Turkmenistan I, Armenian, Spanish and Vietnamese garlic did produce a full garlic but the Spanish and Vietnamese didn’t store for long but still produced right? And your minimum temps in winter are usually? Thanks
@@xaviercruz4763 my minimum temperatures are 50°F. Some plants have produced “witches brooms” the past two winters. I believe this caused by a warm spell during the winter that makes the plants behave as though they have been in the ground for two years.
Onions though grow really readily provided you have the right kind for your area. I am in a short day onion zone everyone out here sells long day like a bunch of idiots and this is a short day onion region. So i have to order all my onion sets from hoss tools.
That's a fantastic approach! Using supermarket garlic bulbs can indeed be a simple and effective way to grow your own garlic. It's great to hear that you've had success with it. Just like onions, garlic can be quite resilient and adaptable, making it a rewarding choice for gardeners. Keep enjoying your gardening journey! 🌱🧄
I agree on growing things from the store but garlic is still tough to grow depending on where you live. It's a struggle in Florida. That's why we use elephant garlic. It's technically a leek and they grow well here
Hey Travis, I do like growing the elephant garlic here in Minnesota. I usually make three furrows in the first furrow I planted the very small round corms Which are those little tiny bulbs on the bigger garlic. No I grow them in the first row the second row I put those bigger round bulbs that did not divide into the second row. The third row I put the individual cloves. In the fall The first row will produce the larger round bulb. The second row the round bulb will split into larger cloves in the third row you’ll get big bulbs of elephant garlic, and those will have some of the small corms attached. Now I remove all these small small corms they will be planted in the first row next time. The little corps, the first year produce a single round bulb when that single round bulb is replanted it will grow into a clove of garlic, and then that clove gets planted in the following year you will a head of garlic. The cams are free and it takes a couple years before you get a head of garlic in my book. Free is good because I got time.
I'm going to try a very similar approach next year. I want to grow from corms but I think I'm just going to start a dedicated corm patch to plant in every year. I don't really have enough garden space to grow corms with my cloves
I’m in Oklahoma, grow elephant, vampire, inchellium, chesnok red fresh this year. I had leftover purple glazer,Nootka rose, & Duganski from last year so my mini orchard is surrounded by last years & extra elephant. My main garden is surrounded by the first three & the rest r where we had the pool. I was hoping the garlic would help keep out the gophers but I really don’t think it had much of a deterrent. So I had to order more daffodils to go around the orchard. It works well but didn’t do it till stupid gophers canes up in the orchard. Kind of a pain but pretty
I prefer hard neck over soft neck. I need to try Elephant garlic, been meaning to, just haven't yet . I grow Music, Romanian red , Duganski, Rojo and a German variety I got from a lady when I was picking up a wheelbarrow full of electrical wire for free to wire my greenhouse, all she knew about was it was some kind of German garlic, it was bigger than any of mine so I couldn't pass it up. Last year I also grew 2 soft neck varieties Inchelium red and another unknown variety I got from My cousin, want grow them this year.
Soft neck garlic doesn’t need to be refrigerated. I grew garlic for the first time last year and had great success without any issues. Try a small batch unrefridgerated and I bet you will be surprised. Just for a reference, I live just east of Atlanta so my zoning is close to yours.
I planted 25 different varieties of garlic this year of every single type, both hardneck and softneck here in california to test out which does the absolute best and suprisingly since i usually get good growth before they go to sleep for my "winter" im basically a southern growing zone the hardneck is beating out the softneck, Shockingly Ivan is in the lead for overall growth so far its much farther along than any other varietal of garlic Considering my new USDA zone is 10A its crazy.
Travis, Elephant garlic (Allium ampeloprasum) looks like a giant garlic clove but in fact, is not a true garlic; instead it is more closely related to a leek.
I bought a small bulb of elephant garlic at Walmart to plant and it had 3 cloves in it. Wow they really are huge! I’m excited to plant them as it’s my first time growing that variety. I hope it does well. I’m in East Texas (now zone 9a, was 8b) so hopefully I’m not planting too late. I usually plant my garlic right around December 1st. We’re having 68 to 72 degrees here the next 7 to 10 days so hopefully it’s going to be ok. I have grown both hard and soft neck garlic (inchllium red was one, can’t remember the other) and they did well here and were harvested late May, to late June last year. I moved their planting location this year because they weren’t getting enough sunlight last year. Hopefully that will help them get more size on the bulbs. I did vernalize them several weeks and planted into freshly amended partly shaded garden beds with nice looser soil. I enjoyed the scapes from the hard necks and really love how strong the flavor of them were! It was surprising how much stronger my home grown garlic was than store bought. I was hooked on growing garlic after that. I did save some of my larger bulbs from last year to replant but I did buy more seed garlic this year to try new soft neck heat tolerant varieties. I got four new varieties I haven’t grown before so that’s fun! I’m excited to see if I can get big bulbs this year. I’m glad to learn some more methods of feeding the plants to hopefully accomplish that. Wish me luck! I’ve also learned a lot about growing short day onions from this channel so that’s been super helpful too as onions and garlic are probably what we use every single day! We need to grow a lot of them to offset the grocery store (which is my goal).
OMG OMG OMG!!!!! That! Has! Got! To Sting!!!! Sooooo Baaaaadd!!!!!!!! Crimson tide done rolled on in. 🌧️💧 I hope you’re going to be ok. 😢 Bless your heart, you might want to call your therapist Monday morning.
I haven't been able to afford to buy elephant garlic seed so I grow both hard neck and soft neck garlic... mostly from the grocery store. It's worked pretty well for me so far. I hope to try elephant galic one day
Walmart has elephant garlic that is where I got some of mine. Started with just one and planted all the cloves from it last year and saved all that grew. I think it was 4-5$ and had about 5-6 cloves in it. Double or tripled that in just one season 👍
Well trying to a softneck variety pack that is “supposed” to be better heat tolerant,ordered from Kleene this year. First time ordering it so will see I guess. Have done elephant garlic in past but it had gotten very expensive for just a few cloves. Might add a a few for back up tho….nice that you get it to store all year long.
Great video Travis. I planted my early Italian soft neck garlic from Baker Creek on the 24th of November. A few questions: How often do you fertilize and water the garlic? I'm in central Florida. Is Agro thrive 3-3-5 ok to use or should I use a higher nitrogen number? I didn't know the difference between hard and soft neck garlic until this year. I planted hard neck last year and didn't get a lot of garlic cloves, just like an onion bulb. Also, do you fertilize your ginger and tumeric right up to harvest? I'm waiting on your tumeric harvest video to harvest mine. I am learning how to grow things I've never grown before (I'm 68 years old, never too old to learn new things) by watching your videos. Thanks for sharing your knowledge with us.😊😊😊😊😊
3-3-5 is good for garlic. You want to get very low on nitrogen in the last 6 weeks or so before harvest because that's the time the bulb is growing most of its bulk and differentiating into cloves. If you started by planting a clove rather than an actual seed and you just got a ball like an onion it is likely you harvested too soon. If you started with an actual seed what you got was first year garlic which is a ball, also called a round. Growing from seed garlic is a biennial. Replanted, that ball would produce a bulb the second year. However I'm in the Frozen North so what I know may not be relevant to your growing conditions. Garlic is ready to harvest when half the leaves turn brown and papery. Sometimes there is a sign of a false harvest a month or two before it's actually ready and before it's put on most of its bulk and separated into cloves. That's because it's extra hungry and thirsty when it's putting on all that weight and needs more water and fertilizer and because it's usually the hottest part of its life cycle in terms of outside temperature and sunlight. If you harvest early you're just going to get around, not a bulb with differentiated cloves. I don't know if it's practical to try to grow hard neck in Florida but soft neck should work. Elephant garlic isn't garlic at all although it certainly looks like it. It's in the leek family so the way it grows is different than actual garlic.
I just have to know were these bell peppers from your first spring planting or from a successional planting on into summer. I’m in the same zone and my bells have long been toast….. even in the late summer they suffered. Would love to know how to extend their lives- Teach us your ways!
Those were the ones we planted in the spring. That particular plot was magical for peppers this year for some reason. Plants never got that big, but production was exceptional.
Thanks Travis, poignant video. I have had good results with the Coop Grow across the board. Even Pumpkins did well on it. My garlic is just up high enough to side dress with nitrogen and your reminder clued me in.
I have been eyeballing trying the coop gro but I have so many bags of organic fertilizers and soils amendments that I dont really need it just wanna try it.
I grow hardneck , soft neck and elephant varieties wont survive my -40 januarys lol. I dont think the elepant would grow well in my extreme temperature swing short season area. does elephant garlic mature same as others as the summer days start to get shorter or do they mature at certain age like 120 days? we have long hot days but not too many of them probably 60 days of stable 16 hour sunlight 70f night 90's f days a sprinckle of 100+f days. makes it a gamble to try growing cold season and hot season things, even spinach has a short window to grow in 30 35 days from frozen until its hot enough to bolt haha. everything is a experiment and I enjoy it.
Never did anything. Frost killed them this past week. Must have just been a bad spot where I planted them. I'll try again next year. Still have a few seeds left.
Please let me know how it works out, interested to hear back on it. I planted 25 varieties of garlic something like 500-600 cloves this year. Wanted to do a massive garlic haul and see what actually does well here this year by just planting it all and seeing the results. Because I have a mild climate being in So Cal, im looking at basically a southern climate I expected the softneck garlics to do better so far the hardnecks all have more greens on them and are actually putting up pretty significant top growth already and next spring I expect they will potentially be the best producers, Ivan in particular is way ahead of the pack on top growth and they have only been in a month or so. @@CarlBain

kinda subjective.. it does contain allicin which is the organosulfur compound which gives garlic its taste, but in smaller amounts.

Because I have a mild climate being in So Cal, im looking at basically a southern climate I expected the softneck garlics to do better so far the hardnecks all have more greens on them and are actually putting up pretty significant top growth already and next spring I expect they will potentially be the best producers, Ivan in particular is way ahead of the pack on top growth and they have only been in a month or so. @@CarlBain
