- I grew six varieties of garlic, side by side. In this video, I will show you the harvests and tell you my three favorite types of garlic of the six. Most of the varieties in this test were hardneck varieties. If you've never tried growing garlic, you can try any of these six, or you can try growing garlic from the grocery store. In our area, I plant in October for a June harvest.

Those were all new to me, except the elephant garlic. Love everything about elephant garlic, especially the little corms. They make planting next year's crop very easy.
Yes, those corms do come in pretty handy.
That purple glazer looks like a winner to me. I recently learned the difference between hard and soft neck and where each should be planted. I bought some soft neck early Italian purple garlic this year. So far its about 8"-12" tall. I hope it's doing as well under ground. I never heard of rust on the garlic, thanks for sharing that with us. I'm hoping my garlic is as prolific as yours. Take care and stay warm. Here's hoping spring gets here soon.🦋🦋🦋🦋🦋
Sounds like your garlic is off to a pretty good start. Hope it makes big bulbs for you. I'm with you on being ready for spring. I'm ready for the warmer weather. We are in the 40s most days now. Have a great weekend!
I am growing garlic for my first time. I chose German White Porcelain. I chose it for mid range on the heat and being good for storage. Learning as I go.
Sounds like you did a little research. That's a pretty good idea when growing anything. Hope that one does great for you!
My favorite garlic (of the varieties I've planted) is Music garlic. It is a hard-neck variety with a wonderful, mild flavor. I'll have to look for the Purple Glazer hard-neck Garlic, so thank you for providing a link in the description. I want to try growing Elephant garlic, but so far, I haven't found a source for them. I'll have to keep them in mind for planting in the fall of 2024.
I hope that you and your sweetheart have a healthy and happy 2024. Blessings to you both and have a Happy New Year! ~Margie🤗🎉🍀🦋
Thanks Margie! Happy New Year to you too! I've heard good things about Music garlic. I found our Elephant garlic in the grocery story. Sure wish spring weather would hurry up and get here.
@@MidwestGardener Me too, winter seems to drag on forever some years.
Nice video as usual, mate! Not sure if I ever tasted, or even saw, a fresh garlic! Happy new year. Take care.
Thanks! Like everything else, home grown is a little bit better than store bought. Have a Happy New Year!
happy new year.Wish you good health
Thank you very much! Happy New Year to you too!
Love your channel!
I was hoping that you could recommend 2 dwarf tomato plants that grow no higher than 3 feet. Of course, great tasting too.
I don't have any favorites that stay under 3 feet tall. Boronia and Rosella Purple are two of my favorites, but they can sometimes get up to about 4 feet tall. Both of those have good taste.
Thanks for the upload. I may have to try the purple glazer. I'm trying gorgean fire in something of a tunnel to try to avoid rust. I've been growing the music variety off and on but I'm getting bad rust every year. It hits any garlic I’ve tried so far. I'm in the Kansas City area.
Good luck with yours next year. This was the first time I've ever had rust on my garlic. I hope it doesn't happen again. Kansas City is right down the turnpike from here.
Good Morning Jim - It appears garlic is somewhat like onions, you have to know what type does best where you live. My first attempt last year with softneck varieties did not produce well so I might try your purple glazer variety to see how it does in my area. I know getting enough sun is an issue for me but will try again. Thanks for sharing the varieties that do well for you and have a wonderful weekend..
Good morning Sue. I hope the Purple Glazer does well for you. It far outpaced the other types here. I'm looking forward to seeing how they do in the coming year.
I just checked the website of my local grower. They have retired Purple Glazer. What a disappointment. I planted Red Chesnok and German Porcelain this fall. Hope to see good results this summer.
That's too bad about the Purple Glazer. I hope both types do well for you!
I had a pretty average harvest this year; not bad, but not many large ones harvested. I planted 3 types, but the only one I remember is Music. This time I've planted Music, Chesnok Red, and Armenian hardneck varieties. Have not tried Elephant garlic, but might plant some next time.
Maybe it will be a better harvest for you next time. I've heard good things about Music, but I've never grown that one.
Have you ever planted red Cherokee?
I haven't. Is that a good one?
@@MidwestGardener My first time buying hardneck garlic seed and they said it was red Cherokee, so we will see.
Where do u get your garlic to plant?
I've planted some from the grocery store, but last year I bought a selection from Etsy.
