I never thought harvesting garlic would bring me joy lol that was so satisfying I could watch this all day! You two have such an amazing relationship I love it 🥰
Great job, Rachel! You are really doing a bang up job with your garden! Every year you learn a little bit more and incorporate it. You do so much better than I do, even though I’ve been gardening for decades. You are more passionate and more diligent. I love to watch you in your element! I also love your top!
Garlic harvests are my very favorite things to watch. And potato harvests. I planted 30 bulbs of garlic this year and ended up with 6!!! Darn squirrels!! Your harvest is beautiful!!!
Really enjoyed all the close-up shots of pulling the garlic! That was very satisfying! Since I can't garden this year, I'm gardening vicariously through You-Tube!
Rachael i love to watch you work in your garden its so calming and i just love you and Todd and your channel. I cant hardly wait for you to post a new video.I wish I could get out and do gardening but im disabled so but watching you is just as GOOD!!!!😉😉😉😉
Hi Rachel. Like I said about the carrot harvest, I also love the pulling of the garlic. I would live to see how you harvest the garlic. In your next video, show us how you plant your potato seeds. God Bless you Rachel, and Todd for being such a wonderful husband to Rachel.take care the two of you. Maria. 💁🖐️👍👍👍👍👍👍👍🖐🖐🖐🖐🖐🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🧄🧄🧄🧄🧄🧄🧄🧄🧄🧄🧄🧄🧄🧄🧄🧄🧄🧄🧄🧄🧄❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💗💗💗💗💗💗
I found one package of 6 seed potatoes in the clearance section of my Lowe’s. They were 50% off and I got them planted last week. I wish I could have found more!! Hope you find some
I am so glad I am not the only one with walnut trees growing in their Ruth Stout garden. We have been pulling them and giving them to friends and family.
Nice garlic....I feel pretty good ; I just harvested my garlic here in MN yesterday and it looks just like yours....I never fertilized it at all since I put aged chicken manure on it last fall when I planted it. I didn't get why you said at first that it was not the wisest choice to plant the squash where you did as you knew it would creep into the garlic and then went on to say you like doing it that way :) Seeing that is giving me lots of ideas I could try here :) Thanks! Oh the end when you fast forwarded picking the last of the weeds and you both walking to the house with the garlic was SO SATISFYING to see!!! Good choice!!! Now on to me watching your carrot canning video....I picked most all of my carrots this morning before the lovely rain we are finally getting today....so thankful!!! I know I will get some tips and ideas for my carrot processing :) Have a great day Rachel and Todd :)
I pulled my garlic yesterday, on a whim.. first time ever planting it (last oct), i should’ve left some, and should’ve taken some sooner, but 90% the time seems to have been right so I’m hoping they cure ok 😬 nervous but hopeful!
I read somewhere to wait until the scapes are pulled, leave just one to go straight upright and then they are ready to harvest. I apologize I cannot remember where I read it to attribute the credit. Indeed, it proved correct for my harvest this year.
I love that Todd goes barefoot on the property and in the garden. I always garden barefoot unless I'm digging or handling big tools. It's so good for you! 👣 👣 👣
I love watching you, so sad that with my Fibromyalgia and neuropathy I dont have the strength to plant a garden . I only do container planting either way, but this spring I couldn't, so I love watching your garden grow. Ty
Beautiful big bulbs of garlic! 💚 It can bruise so I am mindful of that. Learned that from a garlic grower of 20,000 bulbs! Can you imagine growing that many? 😁
Moved from my 4 x 4 foot planted garlic bed in May. I hope the new, young owners are harvesting it. Planning now where to plant garlic on my new property. Your harvest looks fabulous 💥
Wow! Impressive garlic! I got a late start on a vegetable garden this summer and was thrilled to see that my yellow squash broke ground today! You are such a great mentor!
We are gonna till up the front yard just once then out raised beds and walking paths with my disabilities if i fall I’ll fall on something fairly soft plus less mowing
Very glad to have found your channel. I'm in Ypsilanti, not very far from you. I have been doing no-dig for a few years now, and am happy with the results. Love growing hardneck, the scapes are a special treat!
I have never grown garlic before and I only have a few raised beds...for now. I'd like to get a few more so I can plant some more things. I was too late in my area in Illinois to grow spinach. It was just too warm. This was the first year I couldn't grow lettuce or spinach. I went ahead and planted some spinach next to my green beans because they could give it some shade. Hopefully not too much, but the spinach has started growing I noticed. I'm still working on what else to grow in my smaller containers that nothing is in now.
How do you store all the garlic? Enjoy your videos very much and I started a small deck garden. Just retired and am very interested in gardening but want to start small. Thank you for sharing your garden with us.
Hi Rachel, your down to earth trellis for your peas makes me want to try next season.Never saw this done,there's always a first for me.📣Garden's Away!🌱🌱🌿☘🍀🥒🧄🧅🫑🍅
Can't wait to see if you get a summer planting of potatoes to mature before fall/winter. I am going to try to plant potatoes and sweets potatoes in my now empty garlic bed. I have the slips for sweet potatoes. I am trying to grow eyes on my organic potatoes for this weekend.
Great garlic haul! Here in NE Ohio...my hubby & son together just hung over a thousand bulbs to dry from beams in our barn...ahhh the aroma! They dug... so what is secret for no digging? We do alot of mulch w/grass clippings and lots of leaves in the fall when we plant. We don't treat our lawn. I really enjoy your videos? Blessings to you and your family 🙏
I live west of Cleveland in Ohio so not very far from you and I grow soft neck and hard neck garlic and the soft neck does as well as the hard neck.. so my advice is try both..
Our 115 degree day fried all my peas. Who saw that coming? The answer is nobody. On another note, I’d really love to see how you’ve prepped your beds and gotten your soil so good. I’m newish on your channel. You two are cute together b
Must have been about a year ago when I started watching your channel. I seem to recall you laying garlic out on racks in a shed….or was that onions? No matter I enjoy seeing your garden
Do you have any tricks to grow a bigger bulb? I harvest the scapes, and plant the same time as you. We're probably in the same zone. 2 years in a row and I get little bulbs. Only thing I can think of is to add sand to my clay soil. I fertilize well too.
I just did my 2nd crop of 20 lb of seed potatoes here is wi 5b. Pulled my garlic and potatoes when in the next day. Check ur local feed mills I got mine for 25 cents a pound!!
There were so many peas on those vines! I hope you harvested what was good! Good luck with Fall crops, I will be doing more carrots, beets, and spinach in mine.
Rachel, do you buy special garlic to plant, or just regular garlic bulbs, divided, and in November you set? I'd like to try this fall. What do you use so much garlic for? Pea vines you're tearing out? Fast clean up. Love your videos!!💕💕
I enjoyed a video of yours so much that I started from the beginning to experience your journey. The only complaint is that I have caught up and will now have to go through withdrawals. I love how you treat the cameras like it is us. Hilarious when the tree awhile back knocked us on our backsides😂. Thank you for the many enjoyable hours.
I am in Upper Michigan and am wondering if there is any books out there on inter cropping first time I am hearing this and find it interesting thanks. Beautiful garden as always and I learn so much every post not sure how I missed intercrop gardening
I m doing job at this today. Weeding and getting ready to pull peas out. Idk what I want to plant in that area ,8x4 and my squash flowers are now falling off without any fruit there. 😭
Hi Rachel, can you please talk about your grass clippings!. I fear it! I work so hard to keep grass out and putting clippings in scares me. Do you let the clippings dry out a bit before you put it in the garden? Where do you put the clippings?
I'm so jealous of your garlic. This was my first year to grow and I did okay but nothing like yours. I tried to go to Michigan Herb Co but Norton blocked me as a potential dangerous site :( nothing on your end but maybe they have been hacked. I would love to know how you prep your beds with nutrients when planting garlic?
I have to say the sound the garlic makes when you pull it out of the ground is quite satisfying 😍😂😂
The noise of the roots tearing out of the ground is soooo satisfying lol
So glad I wasn't the only one who found that satisfying too!
Me three!
I never thought harvesting garlic would bring me joy lol that was so satisfying I could watch this all day! You two have such an amazing relationship I love it 🥰
You might have to remind him of the bill he's going to get for his supper tonight, LOL. He might end up owing you money!
Your wise management of your beautiful garden is rewarding you with such abundance of great products, God obviously likes your approach to gardening:)
Perfectly said!
Your video’s are so therapeutic to watch. Thank you.
Great job, Rachel! You are really doing a bang up job with your garden! Every year you learn a little bit more and incorporate it.

Garlic harvests are my very favorite things to watch. And potato harvests. I planted 30 bulbs of garlic this year and ended up with 6!!! Darn squirrels!! Your harvest is beautiful!!!
Try putting chicken wire over the bed after you plant and the garlic will grow up through it, but the squirrels can’t get it. Or hardware cloth.
Really enjoyed all the close-up shots of pulling the garlic! That was very satisfying! Since I can't garden this year, I'm gardening vicariously through You-Tube!
Wow! That garlic! 😍😋
Hilarious how you harvested the pea plants and rescued the trellis roll. 😂
Rachael i love to watch you work in your garden its so calming and i just love you and Todd and your channel. I cant hardly wait for you to post a new video.I wish I could get out and do gardening but im disabled so but watching you is just as GOOD!!!!😉😉😉😉

I love the sound of garlic ripping from the soil......not sure why it's so comforting!
Your garden is looking so good and the sound of the garlic pulling was soothing!!
I found one package of 6 seed potatoes in the clearance section of my Lowe’s. They were 50% off and I got them planted last week. I wish I could have found more!! Hope you find some
I am so glad I am not the only one with walnut trees growing in their Ruth Stout garden. We have been pulling them and giving them to friends and family.
Mine are pine trees and carob trees. They are everywhere. I’ll be happy when my garden starts reseeding garden plants.
Yes, I am repanting trees too. Mulberry and pine. God's gifts. 🌻
A really nice harvest. You two are doing great with your garden this year!
Shared 2 of these videos with my FB group 315 Garden Addicts. Not just educational but so enjoyable. Thank you.
Have to say I envy the beautiful garlic but it is somehow satisfying to watch and hear those bulbs being pulled up! 💚
Rachel where did you get your wagon? I need to put it on my wish list. Along with other tools.
garden looks great
You inspire me to do more with every video. Thank you Rachel.
Loved hearing the sound of the garlic coming out of the ground!

great garlic:) if you can't find seed potatoes just buy organic and let them grow eyes and plant them. thats what I've been doing for years.
Happiness overload, carrots then garlic today. Yummy and your garden looks so nice this year. Congratulations
I love garlic. it looks like you have it all figured out. Great job.
Look at all that beautiful garlic!

I thought we would move before ours was ready, but just pulled it today.
Wow! Impressive garlic! I got a late start on a vegetable garden this summer and was thrilled to see that my yellow squash broke ground today! You are such a great mentor!

Yes I always love the harvesting part😍😍😍
All of my garlic disintegrated with the snow! 😭😭 Just down right dissolved into the dirt! I'll just have to start over again in October.....

Wow! That really is an amazing harvest!
Those garlic heads are beautiful! I’m jealous…
Love it!! I Harvested mine a couple days ago and they were beautiful.
Great haul of garlic! I planted once but. Ever tented you it and kinda disappeared. I need to plant again when I build my raised beds
Rachel, I love your garden so much. I have a steep sloped lot. So (after I get moved there) I will have to get very creative with where to garden.
That is such beautiful garlic job well done.
Very, very, nice garlic harvest! Those peas sure looked good, as well. It’s such fun to watch the harvest. ♥️❣️🙏🏼❣️♥️
We had oak trees trying to grow in our garden from the wood chips we got along with horse tail.
Some lovely garlic heads!
Peas are nitrogen fixers. If you cut them off instead of pull them out, you will increase the nitrogen in your soil.
Can't wait to see if you get a summer planting of potatoes to mature before fall/winter. I am going to try to plant potatoes and sweets potatoes in my now empty garlic bed. I have the slips for sweet potatoes. I am trying to grow eyes on my organic potatoes for this weekend.
Just thinking sweet potatoes can take up to 100 days. Potatoes don't take as long.
Great garlic haul! Here in NE Ohio...my hubby & son together just hung over a thousand bulbs to dry from beams in our barn...ahhh the aroma! They dug... so what is secret for no digging? We do alot of mulch w/grass clippings and lots of leaves in the fall when we plant. We don't treat our lawn. I really enjoy your videos? Blessings to you and your family 🙏
A thousand bulbs that is crazy! You must sell? When we harvest we use a broad fork to loosen the soil before pulling the garlic.
I am curious how the soil stays so loose too? I know staying off of it is key, but the weight of snow here in Northern Illinois wowzers.
I love watching your videos! I’m in a different zone and different soil than you but I love your channel! So inspiring ❤️
How sweet of u
I live west of Cleveland in Ohio so not very far from you and I grow soft neck and hard neck garlic and the soft neck does as well as the hard neck.. so my advice is try both..

Hi Rachel 👋
Nice harvest Rachel
Rachel , sport the jump suits in the garden . Anyways thanks again for the abundance of information
I'm in 7a and was thinking about trying another round of potatoes...just not sure but it might be worth a try.
Great garlic harvest!
It looked like you still had some good peas on there.
Do you have any tricks to grow a bigger bulb? I harvest the scapes, and plant the same time as you. We're probably in the same zone. 2 years in a row and I get little bulbs. Only thing I can think of is to add sand to my clay soil. I fertilize well too.
What a nice head of garlic😁thanks for sharing ❤your videos😉

Very nice garlic, thanks for the video
How very exciting!
I planted about 40 garlic, in pots, n raised beds, all pots were dug up by squirrels? Rest or most small.
There were so many peas on those vines! I hope you harvested what was good! Good luck with Fall crops, I will be doing more carrots, beets, and spinach in mine.
When can I plant garlic and onions this year for next harvest
Great harvest

I'm so glad you enjoy spending time with us, we aren't going anywhere!
You played a lot of tug of war and got in some major glute work in this video!
I am in Upper Michigan and am wondering if there is any books out there on inter cropping first time I am hearing this and find it interesting thanks. Beautiful garden as always and I learn so much every post not sure how I missed intercrop gardening
I m doing job at this today. Weeding and getting ready to pull peas out. Idk what I want to plant in that area ,8x4 and my squash flowers are now falling off without any fruit there. 😭
Epic harvest guys! Woo-hoo! 😀🏆💞
Great garden!
What do you do to store your garlic?
Thanks for sharing!! That is some beautiful garlic!!
Tks for sharing this information
You guys need a bigger wagon for your veggie harvest’s ❤️
Hi Rachel, can you please talk about your grass clippings!. I fear it! I work so hard to keep grass out and putting clippings in scares me. Do you let the clippings dry out a bit before you put it in the garden? Where do you put the clippings?

How was your pea harvest? At any rate, it went very quickly! :-) God bless.
Very good
Hey guys...have you tried growing swiss chard? We like it way better than spinach, and it doesn't bolt as easily in the heat. 😁🌿😁🌿🌿😁🌿😁
The garlic looks fantastic! Great sized bulbs and they came out so easily! I'm going to be prying mine out of clay soil with a crowbar ;)
Rachel. How do you store all that garlic so it doesn’t go bad? That look amazing!
You should make a video about garlic storage.
Next video will be the curing process.
I was thinking of planting garlic to preserve as minced garlic. Is there a reliable way to do that, and have it keep?
Question...how often did you water your garlic? Mine was small this year. Wondering if it was a water issue
Dry is definitely a novelty so far... hope my garlic can cure properly.
Oooo....your garlic looks beautiful!!
What growing zone are you in?
God bless!!
