Apparently, I have been planting garlic too early; around Halloween. We will definitely be waiting a bit longer next time. Many thanks to You and King Tuck.❤🎶🌹🙏⭐😍💜❤️

[@Anne--Marie]

Our local Neighborhood Market has a bag of corn husks as customers shuck their corn. Would that make a good mulch for the garlic? Would it need to be cut first?

Funny story about my garlic. Planted some last fall but nothing grew in the spring. After a bunch of heavy rain now I see garlic growing lol. At first I had no clue what it was but then I remembered I planting them last year lol

Lol by who..? You don't know mt life why ate you saying this shit for total strangers

[@ceecee-thetransplantedgardener]

Sometimes, you just blow my pea-pickin' mind. I love that you're always pushing the envelope. The other benefit of keeping that hardneck garlic in the ground - is the shorter shelf life. So rather than harvesting and letting it go bad, ergo useless, leave it - and regrow. Also - haven't done justice to Tuck. What a heart dog, garden guardian hero. I LOVE seeing him. Thanks JP.

[@RolloTonéBrownTown]

I'm glad you changed "cotton" to "pea," these days people see the former as a racially motivated phrase

@TonesThiccandSnicc I didn't change it as "cotton pickin" has never been part of my vocabulary.

[@jeannamcgregor9967]

You make a good point about shorter storage on hard necks...when I get to the point where I actually plant enough garlic to last late enough in the year to go bad I may switch to James' method. Who knew I need 100 heads to last the year?? 😆

I did this on accident this year by forgetting some bulbs :). I replanted the large cloves. The small cloves that were too little to plant tasted great in chopped up in soup (greens and all!).

[@senihabaharoff1016]

Two ways of growing and regrowing garlic. Plant the seeds about 6-inch apart in March and the other the better way is to plant them in September October, garlic dies after the frost & snow, but then in the spring garlic wakes up and grows fast, bigger and healthy Garlic is my favored

[@rickthelian2215]

I did that last year for 2023 year in Sydney Australia with Egyptian Hard Neck Garlic😊 Ready to harvest November/December ❤

[@rosemaryus-ct6151]

where did u get that? i've heard of egyptian / walking onions but not that kind of garlic. i love the walking onions. they are perennial and i get green 'scallions' every year. they grow new sets at the top of a sturdyier 'stem'. very interesting.

Great to know. I’m also glad you are in my zone because it’s easier for me to relate. I unfortunately live in an area where the heat and mosquitoes are lethal during the summer. So it really messed up my gardening this past June-Aug this year. I’m going to make sure I get my garden ready for the winter and the early spring time this fall. Thanks for always giving such great advice.

[@matheww9944]

Cheers for the tips, I always get my varieties mixed up once I harvest so I never remember which varieties I liked the most, I think I'll follow your lead with a single bed dedicated to garlic and leave one bulb in each section, it'll also help to see which varieties do best in my zone over a few years

[@BelleJane5]

Good morning James and Tuck ❤. Interesting video

[@jamesduncan3673]

As a bit of an experiment, last fall I bought 3 garlic bulbs at my local grocery store. I broke two of them up into individual cloves, and planted them. Covered the bed with a layer of compost and a layer of wood chips, and just eft them to their own. Four months and a couple good snowstorms later, I've got about 40 garlic plants coming up. Maybe I'll pick up some good seed garlic this year, but for now I'm just tickled to be getting some decent results for my efforts. And yes, I live in a northern area, so the softneck garlic from the store was perfect at this stage.

[@samanthahoos9827]

I did the same method last year leaving the littlest bulbs in the ground for the year harvesting 2 years later as huge bulbs. This year I’m trying to do the same thing with ginger in the greenhouse. 😊

[@patrecereed6963]

Hey there! I have 2 quick questions, but first I wanted to share that I love your videos! I've been watching them for over a year now. I love they way you convey the information you are providing to your viewers. You deliver it in a way that is straight forward and avoids confusion for the viewer. Some channels that do similar content seem to leave holes in the information they are providing, which leaves the viewers with more questions. So thank you for being thorough! Also, Tuck is so adorable, and I love that he makes appearances in all of your videos! Such a cutie! My first question is, when planting cloves in the fall for a harvest the following late spring or early summer, is it necessary to water them throughout the winter at all (and if so, how often),, or do you not water them? If you have shared this info, somehow I missed it, and I'm sure that if I want to have it succeed, I need to do this the right way. My second question is, can the fall planting of cloves be achieved in a raised bed or will that cause them to get and stay too cold during the winter, and kill them? Thank you!

[@DebRoo11]

This is a great idea! The only downfall I see is that I like to choose the biggest cloves for planting. It really does make a difference for next year's crop health and size. In my experience, you can't always determine the size or health of the bulbs from the tops

[@shaynalinkie]

Incredible. I love this method and will be trying this myself. I just ordered bulbils as well and am going to give those a shot both indoor and outdoor over the next couple of years. I am going to have a ton of fun little experiments going on!

[@Trotzenfeldt]

It's more practical to take the same amount of time and separate them before winter. They get smaller when growing that close.

[@jamestboehm6450]

The longer you grow the same garlic in progressive yrs the more acclimated it becomes, just like saving seed. Same for bunching onions. It's common sense not rocket science. Yes I've been growing plants 50+ yrs . Mulch well, fertilize properly and water well in the spring and early summer.

❤❤❤ I love growing garlic and I’ve been growing it for about 15 years….so of course I had to watch this video. You are right….the price of seed garlic is getting crazy! I do like variety but I’m going o stick with what I originally bought at the Garlic Farm. Last year I started adding fertilizer at planting and the bulbs were considerably larger. Of course the season factors into the equation and I have good soil so I never really thought I needed to add much but why not improve if you can? I love experimenting so I may try your method next year. The bulb you have growing in your soil looks very close to the surface…was the bulb initially buried 3-4 inches deep and you removed all top growth until it resprouted? Or did you pull the bulb and replant it near surface? Thanks for sharing. ❤

Not sure how well this would work in colder zones. Last year I planted way too early and had 5-7” shoots and mulched them. I lost a lot of garlic from variety pack of hard-necks.

I have never used row cover or greenhouse plastic before, but I have put up hoops on 2 of my raised beds and am ready to continue growing as long as possible. I am growing kale, arugula, cold-hardy lettuces, tat soi, spinach, mizuna and mache. But I cannot find any guidelines on when row cover is appropriate and when I should switch to plastic cover! Do I go by temperatures, and if so what temperatures? If not by temperatures, then how do I know which to use when? Right now one has insect netting on it and the other is uncovered. Help, please!!

First timer last season, used Costco garlic (from Gilroy, CA, not too far or different from my climate) and did quite well with it, my bulbs 2 to 2.5X larger than seed stock. This time I'll replant some of that harvest. To me this looks substantially harder than the standard way, curing and storing was like nothing to me and dealing with the roots is laborious. Just the same it's good to know alternatives.
