#homesteading #deepsouthhomestead #offgrid
Be thankful for every day you can crawl around on the ground and work in your plants. I miss that more than anything since arthritis stopped me. God be with you.
Man I’m missing the 40 degree weather. We hit 27 tonight. I bought everyone in the house a good fleece blanket so we are good and warm.
Danny, I bought a few bulbs of Elephant garlic from Hoss Tools, and planted it. It’s already coming up!! I was told to plant it now, and harvest in spring. I can’t wait to see if it makes more garlic!! Good info you gave us!! ❣️♥️❣️
Love how the cows are very talkative in this video.
I just received my elephant garlic for planting and I am planting today. I have 4 raised beds and I am planting some in each bed for pest control leaving room for other vegetables. I’m in Alabama and I watch your videos for good information. I live in the city in Alabama which I hate but I am growing food for my family. Thanks again for the good information. Tell Miss Wanda hello and the both be safe and God bless you.
Hello Lucy! Good morning Danny and Wanda. Extremely interesting and informative. We are on a similar journey but on a smaller scale. This season we grew most of our own produce. We were able to skip the produce aisles at the grocery store. So rewarding! Thanks for sharing.
Beautiful cows! Nothing better than sweet cows. 🐮
GOD IS SO GOOD !!!!!
I wish I was your neighbor...but then...maybe you wouldn't feel the same about me! LOL! It's hard to find or end up with 'like minded' people. People you can trust and help one another. I long for COMMUNITY = COME UNITY! A day when we think/care for one another and all profit by it. We are all so independent/jealous/competitive and NOTHING works that way. Our hard heads/hearts, need breaking...like training the 'wild' out of a horse and thereby making it useful. The times are-a-breaking us...like land that will FINALLY be 'able' to receive the 'SEEDS OF TRUTH"! This site, keeps me dreaming for such a time. You are PROOF of the bounty Our Good God wants to bless us with. I thank-you most kindly for sharing your beautifully blessed lives with us. It brings this ol' widow; HOPE! Health and God's continued abundant blessings upon you n' yours! :)
The cows are happy to be heard today on camera 😂 love hearing them!!!!!
Yes I just pulled about 25 up and planting them in my gate protected garden bed… thanks for this video 💜
Morning Y'all , very nice , I take away something & learn almost with every video, thanks Danny & Miss Wanda !
I plant and eat raw garlic all the time, the medical benefits
of this plant are amazing!
I just bought garlic at Food Lion a few years back and planted the largest cloves. I have been using the same stock since and have no problems. I heard somewhere that you can not do that but tried it anyways. You never know what might happen. I've done the same with old store bought potatoes which began to sprout.
I was wondering why I didn't have cloves when I harvested my garlic, I had a BULB! 😂 now I understand how it all works. THANK YOU 💕
Planted seven or eight elephant garlic plants last year and got enough bulbs to last the rest of the year and then some. Got a lot of corms from it too, but have yet to plant them. Thanks for your channel. It's very inspiring.
Thanks for teaching about corms. I didn't know what they were at first a couple years ago when I harvested and they were attached to the cloves all over, so I figured they were seeds and threw them back in the ground.
I'm not from the South but I'm going to get me some " magic garlic " to grow 🏃🏿♀️🤩 Thanks for sharing!
I jus love how much ur animals love u! That is more than jus “that’s the guy that feeds us” that’s love! ❤️mushy moment lol
Big.. Tick ✅ yes love rules..
Thanks Danny. I gave my sister some elephant garlic that I had growing in a pot for a house warming present. She said she didn't have anywhere to plant it yet so I suggested she either leave it in the pot for now or plant it beside her kitchen door in an area the size of the pot (10") and then when she gets her yard/garden prepped she could transplant all or part of it. Much Love
You give out so much information I need to take notes. Granted I can’t grow something up here in the North so I’m trying to see if it will work in the house. We’ll see what happens. Trial and error that’s progress.
Listening to the leaves rustle as you brushed them aside took me right back to my childhood.
LOL! We are having a heat wave of 40 this week! And my video this week is planting garlic...synchronicity isn't it?
Yeah hope all is well with y'all. LoL
35 in Central Alabama , pretty good frost
You are so knowable Danny.
And Wanda is such a great camerawoman.
Thank you two for sharing!
Thumbs up from me!
How wonderful. I actually bought a huge head of elephant garlic as I had never grown it before. Only had 5 cloves and I had read that it made the tiny little corms but it's always nice to see someone growing it and showing exactly what to look for.
I'm very lucky with garlic. I have a hardneck variety that our family passes around that was brought here with my great grandparents when they immigrated here. Opa came in the late 1890s and great gran with my grandmother in the early 1900.
It can go completely wild on me and with a couple years of loving and tending to, it tames right down again and grows fat sassy heads with big cloves.
But it can drop and spread in my garden and be a bit weedy if I don't take the top setting bulblets off. Garlic scapes are great pickled.
Its so interesting that my old hardneck garlic grows from the bulblets on top like your magic garlic make corms from the bottom!
First year they look like grass growing and that makes a little almost perfectly round single clove, I harvest and store those little marbles and plant out in the fall and then that following year they make normal cloves garlic heads. So about a 3 year process but worth it.
Bright white and violet colored paper/skin on them. Very strong garlic raw but just lovely cooked.
I let it kinda go wild in my flower beds its never invasive enough to choke out my flowers.
About 10 years ago I noticed by the old church a whole ditch of huge topsets of garlic. I stopped and pulled a handful of the topsets and started them in a different area of my yard. They grew the exact same as my grandparents garlic but they have a reddish color paper but that same sharp hot 🔥 garlic. Its a bit different than the big white softneck garlic in flavor.
Im assuming since the area is right by the church and the parish house that it was probably brought in by one of the priests at some point and it just topset wandered/walked away down the road as its all over that area.
My friend who's father owns and farms that area says its a bit of a problem in the borders of his one field but not enough to ruin his crop. They didn't know it was edible.
I gave them a couple of the bigger tamed heads to put in their garden. His wife was amazed at how hardy it is and how tasty.
I ramble on. Lol sorry to say I do so in person too🤣 I guess I'm just planning on being "that old lady" in the neighborhood.
I think I might have something similar here in Ohio what area are you from this kind of came with the house and I've never known what to do with it but it does set ball blitz and sometimes without care it will make a couple of cloves usually not more than three and small I have not tried to really take care of it because I've never really grown garlic have never known how I kind of tried to look up if anything look like it that in a seed catalog and never found anything any information in any care instructions I would like to have especially if you are North but I'll try to look up some garlic instructions and see what I can do with it probably late for this year maybe possible we'll see
@@dianatennant4346 let them come up and set the little cluster of bulblets on top. Once they start to dry about end of july
Pick those little tiny bulblets and I put in in good soil in a bed and let them grow over the winter. They will look remarkably like grass. But they smell like garlic.
The next summer they will get bigger and when July hits and they start to yellow you harvest and they will look like Mr Danny said one round bulb. Mine tend to be about the size of marbles to the large marbles. I let them cure a bit and end of September to the middle of October you once again plant in good soil. Over winter and then the next summer(oh boy year three) when they die down in July and you harvest they will look like the heads of garlic in the store. But this third year in spring you need to look for the scape or flowering/bulblet to start. It looks different and will have a curl to it. I usually break it off to get bigger heads/cloves of garlic that is developing. (You can eat them they are nice and garlicy)
Now that you've got normal garlic heads with cloves, around 4 to 8 around a stiff stalk in the middle, compared to soft neck garlic that has more cloves in the middle.
But save the biggest heads to replant in the fall and you've tamed the wild garlic.
It sounds so complicated but its not as hard as you would imagine. It just takes a few minutes to harvest and plant at the right time.
Ive also just tossed the bulblets into my flower beds to let it be wild and do what it wants. It can be harvested wild too but the bulbs are much smaller.I've found that once you get a wild bed going and tame some its really lovely to have.
Next spring you could also dig up the more mature cloves from the wild, in the green growing stage and transplant too. Geez i should have led with that. Sorry its almost bedtime.
Hope I didn't confuse you. It is easy just takes a few years to encourage the bigger heads and cloves.
Oh thank you emerald witch I really appreciate your reply I have never known what to do with these things
@@dianatennant4346 no problems but if I over explained sorry. 🥰
Great, hands on video. Visually helpful, more than talking about it, you showed us. This is my first year and I just planted my elephant garlic cloves. Expensive to buy, so I really wanted to know how to propagate them. Thank you so much for this video!
Loved this video. Not only did I learn a lot but I also saw a really soft side of Danny with the cows
I just got our Elephant Garlic from Hoss Tools. I'll be planting it in the next few days.
It's called Ransom garlic across the pond, and here we call it wild garlic. My brother has a backyard full of it and I need to visit him to get some. I have some planted here but my son keeps mowing it off grrrr. I'll have to find a place he can't get to with the mower. I chopped up a bunch of it and froze it, because we like the garlic/leek and potato soup in winter. It is a garlic leek, but it tastes more like garlic and therefore we tend to leave the leek part off.
Enjoyed your video. Great to hear from somebody in central MS. Most videos are from CALIFORNIA. Hope to see more of your videos.
Danny my favorite sound of all times is when Cows & Bulls call out- it is like a horse when it neighs just magic the sounds of the farm.
What a fabulous video this was- Thank you both- I listen & learn from you so much . Cheers Denise - Australia
I love how Dixie's horns flip flop! So cute! 😁😂😂
Lucy looks so happy this morning! I learnt so much from this video. Thank you Danny & Wanda ❤️
It's about 24° here in NY right now. Love garlic, we planted ours in October, so looking forward to it for next year. 💝💝
PS love seeing the cows 🐴
Hello again from South Central Idaho!
I love your enthusiasm-your eyes just glow, and your voice is full of plum happiness when you are excited about your passions!! This video was so informative!! I never knew all this about garlic! I have SO much to learn! I hope to have a garden next year-I want to do raised beds as I have aging knees! I’m planning for a small little green house too, hopefully! I thoroughly enjoy this channel, and your All God’s Children channel, and am going to subscribe to Wanda’s channel too! Not enough hours in the day to work full time and savor so much information from all the homesteading channels!!!
Miss Lucy is growing fast! Love how your treat the cows!!
Fantastic channel! God Bless!
Thanks for info. Now i know what kind of garlic i was gifted. I only hope to one day know as much as you all about so many crops. Excelkent video.
I have people can't believe the garlic I grow here in Northwest Minnesota, zone 3. My bulbs get on average 3 inch diameter.
My elephant garlic get massive but I have to dig them before the regular garlic or they start to open up if I leave them as long.
All my garlic goes in the ground in the fall a couple weeks before freeze up at about 3 inches below the surface and then I cover the beds with about a foot of hay or straw.
In the spring by the time the snow finally melts in April the garlic is already pushing up through the hay covering.
I leave about 3-4 inches of the hay covering on the beds and never have to water my garlic all summer.
The only feeding I do for my garlic is adding compost to the beds every fall before planting.
Between harvest and planting back again in the fall while the garlic is curing I always grow something in the beds, even if it is just weeds to keep the soil fed through the sunlight on the weeds or radish or whatever it may be.
I also follow garlic beds with potatoes and then follow potatoes with garlic and have never had a problem with growing in the same beds year after year.
My active garlic beds are around 12 inches deep of loose composted materials.
I never let my soil set dormant other than the winter under feet of snow that is.
Most people tell me not to use hay on my garden because of the weed seed but I welcome the weeds, they make great compost and most I can chop and drop right in place.
I grow lots of compost 😁
My garden beds are on average anywhere from 6 inches deep on new beds to at least a foot deep of natural grown compost.
I never put fertilizers on my garden ever.
Awe, your baby cow is so cute!
Well, that explains why the Elephant garlic is doing better than the hard neck. I planted both at about the same time last year, 2021. Not yet ready to harvest.....
Thanks again!
I tried soft neck and got a good harvest , begginer here south ga
Exciting
Great information, Danny! Thank you for teaching us more about gardening.
We build a small Greenhouse by 15 and we're looking to build a high tunnel next year. Listen to Danny it's a game changer
u got it going on
Thank you for sharing with us. I learn so much from you. Stay safe
We have elephant garlic too. Last year I pulled it all up since I knew we would be moving but saved as many of the corms has possible, but I must have missed quite a lot. I have tons of it coming up anyways. Thanks for sharing as always guys😊
Planted mine first time! Thanks for this😀
I really loved your very informative video. Thank you for sharing your knowledge. 💙
Thank you so much from a new subscriber. Your insight and help is much appreciated.
Love the garlic find and Lucy too. Blessings! :)
Great video! I have elephant garlic where I’m transplanting the corms today. I definitely will be planting more garlic family around here. The worms about destroyed every brassica and green I planted this year. 2020 has been the year of the garden pests for me. Saved some squash plants from vine borers only to have the pickle worms get the fruit from them.
27 here in NC this AM, great video on garlic, I transplanted some from my parents last week and the deer have already bit the tops off them
I learn so much from your channel 😀. Please keep the videos coming!!!
That's awesome guys....was wondering.....u could experiment and put some garlic on the north side of a building....it would get a little morning sun and some evening sun.....being in the shade during the heat of the day may help it. I also companion plant....and it absolutely works....every year I try different companions...some are good some not so much. Because of the weather we have had my garlic started to grow already. I have started garlic from seed that I took off of scales I missed...takes about 3 seasons to end up with full heads.....same with gladiolous...they make a lot of babies corms on the adult bulbs.....takes about 3 years to get them to full size bulbs. As always I learn from your videos...had never given garlic a thought with you all's warm climate. 👍😊
Just received our order of elephant garlic bulbs to plant. This vid was so helpful- I hope these grow and propagate richly! Organic garlic is so expensive at the store!
My mom plants her garlic with her tiller. She has a patch of garlic and when she's done with it she tills it under and spreads out the all the garlic to reseed her plot. Lol. She hasn't bought garlic in 20 years or more.
Wow! I learned something new! That's pretty amazing! Second year trying garlic here in Virginia.... hopefully they will form bigger cloves that last year's. If not I may have to give this variety a go! Thanks!~jc
Thanks
It’s my first year growing elephant garlic. We use so much garlic I’m hoping for a good harvest.
We had a week of awesome temps, but now it's cold. I planted garlic, since I use so much.
Wow! This something I never knew. I have grown elephant garlic before and have seen the corms on the single bulbs when I pulled them I also knew that you can plant the corms, but I did NOT know that if you leave them in the ground, they make regular cloves and take off like this! That explains why I had an elephant garlic pop up last spring when I did not plant any. I guess there was a corm in the ground I didn't know about. I hope I can be that lucky again but idk. We will see! I'm kicking myself for not knowing this. I'd have a garden long full of garlic by now if I had!
Yaaayyy, y’all named her Lucy!
I wish I had seen this sooner. 🙃 I would've order more Hoss Tools elephant garlic instead of the others garlics since I'm in zone 9A. It's my first time to really try to grow garlic. I love the advice!
Like digging up little treasures!😁
In zone 6 we r receiving teens in the night. Officially cold frost. Hmm magic garlic. Planted my garlic in October including elephant. Started germinating. Good information from u
Are the cows asking where their sweet potatoes are?
Yep
🌹 Great video
Thanks for the information. Since we live in central Georgia, we have a similar situation that would let us try what you are doing. There just aren't that many folks from our area sharing gardening like you do. Good job! PS Have you tried growing ramps?
the most important part you didn't show was How deep you put the Bulbs in the ground ?? how about some close up shots of the actual planting of the bulbs ???
I have to get a life. I have watched Danny and Wanda I knew the cow was Lucy before Danny said anything!😀
good morning
Not liking this weather. I should have gotten some Magic Garlic 🧄 when we were there😢
We have plenty
I hope I can find it
Thank You for sharing. I am curious how you planted the young garlic. Those hair roots look so fragile. Would you dig bulbs leaving soil for the root ball in future transplanting? Be Well, Tom.
My garlic decided to start coming up its been in the 30ish at night and 60ish daytime 🙄❤❤
I have something similar in my yard. I dug it up but they aren't round like yours. What do you think they maybe. I'm in GA. I will do a video shortly .Thanks for sharing.
Wow, very informational. Thank you. Would you say regular garlic is the same way?
In a northern area yes.
I just wandered on to this looking to see how to plant garlic better. I never knew about the "corm's". I planted some cloves from the store and never harvested them a couple years ago and dug them up this summer and they appear to be these corms. I wonder if they go back amd forth between bulbs and corms stage if you don't harvest? I'm going to replant them elsewhere now, hoping for garlic next summer or fall to harvest.
44 is fine.
Ok, so let’s see if I get this right. Last fall, I planted single cloves of elephant garlic. They grew and recently died and bent over like onions do. I pulled them up and noticed chickpea looking things among the roots and some still stuck on the bottom/side of the clove that had grown bigger. So now I need to plant those “corms” and they’ll grow into a bulb that I leave in for another year? Then the bulbs should be left to grow into the large cluster of cloves?
Danny I live in eastern Ky.I have never grown garlic what do u suggest for my area to plant would love to learn. tks
I got permission to save some elephant garlic from the yard of an abandoned house before it was bush hogged. The garlic had corms. It is May and I am in the south. Should I save the corms until November to plant or can I plant it now? Thanks for any advice you can give me. I want to have it growing in my yard.
I wonder if it is resistant to root knot nematodes. I have been debating on which garlic I'm going to plant here since this year I was overrun by RKN. Thanks for sharing!
Haven't had any problem yet.
Where do you live?
I am in Augusta Georgia.
My wife and I have good size garden and we will be heavy into Japanese sweet potatoes. And other Asian veggies.
My goal is to survive too. But on my plot in the city... ain’t gonna happen. 😂😢
Do you have any multiplier onions bulbs to sell? I live in South Carolina . I have a old home site close to me that has some of the old miracle garlic in the field. I know it has been there for over 60 years. I was told as a kid it was wild garlic.
I live in SC also, and have the elephant garlic, but we also have little wild onions that are not elephant garlic.
Danny I live about 40 miles north of you. I just planted a Romanian red hardneck garlic and I have a sm. patch of Majic (wild) garlic that came with the place. I am looking at your soil as you are digging. I have added leaves, rabbit, chicken and cow poo to the clay, rocky soil. The soil is hard as a rock. What would you suggest?
Keep adding More of what you're adding. Go buy some cheap dirt from the store and add.
so, essentially, if you use croms, then it's a bi-annual plant.
What is the best-recommended size for a homestead? how many acres? and What I should look for?
I recommend 40 acres
Hey Danny, It's 2022..I just planted elephant garlic for the first time, today. I'm confused. I planted cloves, does this mean I have to wait 2 years get garlic bulbs that we can use?
GM
Why not just plant a portion of the cloves that you harvest every year? It would cut your harvest time down to less than a year compared to two full seasons for the corms to produce cloves.
I have a pineapple that needs a bigger pot, when do I need to transfer it?
Now
Love your videos - always learn something. Where do you get your carrot seeds from? Google is not being helpful today... :)
Kitazawa seed company.
@@DeepSouthHomestead Thank you. Really appreciate it.
Where do u get the seeds for ur carrots? I have never had any luck with carrots & would like to try them. I live in AR. Weather is similar to urs
Kitazawa seed company.
Where in south are you located?
South Mississippi 30 miles north of the Gulf Coast
Are these the same type of elephant garlic Hoss Tools sells? If not, where can I get some?
I'm not sure how safe it is to do but I just bought mine at the local supermarket. One head from Walmart and one head from a big box chain here up north called meijer.
Trader Joe's and whole foods market have them occasionally too.
But that's how I buy my white softneck Italian garlic too. Im a bit too cheap to buy $12 worth of named garlic when its $2.75 a pound in the grocery store. 😉🥰
@@Emeraldwitch30 thanks ms witch. I thought about doing that as well. I hear people often say they cannot grow garlic this deep in the south, but I have done it and been pretty successful. I just like how prolific that elephant garlic is.
@@TheSHOP411 i live up in the cold cold north(well at least this morning is lol)in michigan.
I know many say don't plant from store bought in case of soil diseases but ive never had problems.
This past summer my granddaughter wanted to grow rosemary as she had watched a video with it as an ingredient and wanted to try. We searched for a plant but all of them were very small sad things for $4 to $5 a pot. This grandma is a bit too cheap oops frugal, yep thats the right word lol 😆 so I spent $2 on a little box/bunch of cut rosemary in the fresh herb section of the grocery store.
I always have a small bottle of rooting hormone for plant propagation (you can take mawmaw out of the greenhouse business but you can't take the greenhouse out of mawmaw!) And I cut the ends to mainly the soft fresh growth and dipped the root powder on and planted 10 cuttings and we cooked little hot dogs in blankets with some homemade dough and sprinkled rosemary on top with a bit of garlic and chunky sea salt. It was a hit.
But I ended up with 7 really strong rooted plants about the same size as the sad potted ones in the nursery for $4.
We did end up finding a very nice big rosemary later in the summer for $2.50 so she has a little and big one now and I have 6 sturdy plants in one pot under my grow lights this winter.
Ive cut enough herb from them for several meals so I think I got my $2 worth.
I just love growing things people say ya can't do from the store lol.
I also grow those mini potatoes from that one company out too. They grow true to their claim of tiny potatoes. And they do very well in buckets. Its a huge claim that store bought taters won't sprout but I've never had any problems with them. I have to grow in buckets with solarized soil or I get the worst scab on my potatoes. I don't want to add anything to my soil to fix it as I tend to be sensitive to certain pesticides and herbicides. And I'm rambling on again! Lol 😆 sorry. I sure hope they do as well for you as they are mr Danny and miss Wanda 🥰🧄🧄
@@Emeraldwitch30 that whole reply had me smiling while I read it. Funny how so many miles apart and people share such similar thoughts about growing/gardening. I have a bag of potatoes one of my employees gave me last spring bc they were giving them away at a store. I will be planting them come this spring. I'm not a bit worried about doing so. Last year, I planted garlic from the bottom drawer in the fridge that had escaped throughout the year. I ended up with a few nice bulbs. I just planted garlic for this year and the oners I grew last year came up better and stronger than any others. It will be interesting to see the outcome. Maybe I will start recording videos so I can make a full video on it for spring when its time to harvest. Take care. So nice to meet you.
@@TheSHOP411 nice to meet you too. My grandchildren want to video me cooking their favorite meals too. I might just let them.
Aren’t worms good for your soil though?
Earth worms are.
Oh, you were talking about other worms. Duh... 😂
