Oh boy. 3-4"? In the North! In not sure I went that deep this time. Although they are planted facing south near the house. Had to put a pile of meeting over them to stop the squirrels. They still tried!😮 I do have straw though. Maybe I'll just pile that on cause I'm sure not undoing all that! It's freezing out there! Thanks for the tips.
Well we are done here in SE Minnesota. It got down to 29 last night (Oct 15). Most everything is done. We actually got two extra weeks. Our normal first frost is Oct 1st. I really dislike winter so this is a sad time for me.
Great advice as always! I’m getting my worm castings, sifted compost, containers, and fertilizers ready for my plantings a bit later this month. I’m only doing hardneck this year and will insulate the sides of my containers with a thick layer of leaves as well as straw on the surface. Maybe you and I can do a “Biggest Garlic Bulb Comp” next summer? Could be a friendly Marine vs. Airman contest. Either way, good luck on your grow brother!
@@DownHomeBackyardGardening I have German White, Ukrainian Red, and Purple Glazer plus a fellow Indiana gardener is sending me a bulb of another he grows yearly and can let you know the type once it lands here. If you aren’t growing any of the same garlic I can always pick up some of what you have planted.
@BigWillDogg82 I have Chet's Itailian, and a Vietnamese garlic, plus Elephant Garlic... the first two were from Bake Creek. Let's just make it easy, your biggest bulb and mine when we harvest. I'll show everything I'm doing, and then during the harvest, I'll record everything.
@@donnaburchett9328 Are they in full sun? If so, maybe partial sun would make a difference. 🤔 And plenty of water to where the ground doesn't fully dry out.
Great tips! Thanks!
Thankyou
Ooops! I took the skins off and put them into the small container of water to root first.
I am still learning.
Thank you for your tips in your video.
My garlic is going in the ground tomorrow. 😎

@LytonaKirtz Wow, im sorry. I will say that I love your state during the summer. Been up there a few times, and loved it. 💯

@@BigWillDogg82 I'm down for that💯🤘
@@DownHomeBackyardGardening alright then! You’ll have a slight leg up being in ground, but I’m gonna give it a go. Best of luck!

What kind of garlic are you growing?

Is it ok if the stems die back I think it’s making new ones tho
Hi. I'm outside of Phoenix. I get beautiful greens but the bulbs don't get very big. Not sure what I'm doing wrong.
