Garlic Harvest: 4 Tips to Tell When Your Garlic is Ready

[@woodspirit98]

Two crops I love are garlic and potatoes in containers. Easy to grow, fun to harvest and they make great fresh meals. Good food and simple.

[@opraha1113]

This is my first time growing garlic and another channel said to wait until almost all the leaves were dried up. I left my garlic in way too long and some of the cloves started sprouting 😢 Thank you so much for this detailed information. Now I know what to do next time. I won’t listen to anybody else from now. Lol. Big up yuhself 🇯🇲

[@barrybutler6375]

Great advise for a first time grower, Thank you 👍❤

[@GuitarsAndSynths]

this is the best video on how to figure out when garlic is ready for harvest! Even garlic books fail to really explain these key points. I thought mine were ready but pulled and too small bulbs.

[@bushman101.4]

Man thank you...I nearly last my 4 th leaf...Great tip brother.

[@danielcharbonneau222]

Zone 8A wow that's nice. I'm in zone 3 LOL We get a lot of snow where I live. This is the second video that I've watched and man I love your gardens.

[@gratefulMOMent]

I enjoy how kind & loving you guys are. I came here to figure out how to harvest mine & I’m leaving with not only more knowledge but confidence in myself. Thank you so much. Much love 🌱 ❤

[@cruz1742]

Can you please explain how you built the raise bed?

[@gratefulMOMent]

@@cruz1742 hi! I did not build a raised bed for my garden. I plant in-ground. Look up Charles Dowding no dig method. This is how I got started. I put cardboard over my grass, got it wet, then I spread 2 feet of freshly cut woodchips over top. (Talk to a local arborist to get some delivered). Over the wood chips, I dug 18” deep rows & filled in with free compost from my city. Then I planted in the compost. In the fall I cover completely with at least 1foot deep of leaves from my neighbor’s trees. 💚

[@humbleservantshomestead7974]

@@cruz1742 we have a video that we did showing the process but never uploaded it!! I'll be sure to in the near future so stay tuned!

Yes! Cant wait to see your harvest!

[@harrygatto]

Useful information and great video, thank you. I usually plant in October (I'm in west Japan, more or less Zone 9) and reckon to harvest about the end of April with 4 dead leaves. I don't have as much garden space as before so have to plan carefully and will follow the garlic with sweetcorn making sure to leave the cut off garlic roots in the soil, never done that before.

[@GrowWhereYouArePlanted]

I'm glad you posted this video. I was walking by my garlic here in Zone 7, and I noticed how brown and dry the bottom leaves were. I felt very unsure of myself, but I decided to harvest the browning garlic. I'm glad I did because 2 bulbs had already lost too much of the wrapper, exposing the cloves. It seems very early to be harvesting garlic. Last year, my garlic was ready around May 25, not May 1. 20:41

[@J1mInOH]

I watched a lot of videos on garlic before planting mine for the first time in October. Have a lot of it and shallots in two beds and watched a lot more videos more recently contemplating whether it’s ready to harvest yet not wanting to be too soon or too late. Thank you for sharing your experience and lessons with us! I think it’s likely now ready, tips on all have started dying back and at least two bottom leaves have died back. Thanks for pointing out the first may have disintegrated by the time the third dies because I think that’s likely happened on mine. But, I’ll know for sure now just brushing the soil away tomorrow to check what’s going on under the ground and pull them confidently when I know they’re ready thanks to your video. Thanks again, Sir! Peace and Blessings to you too!

[@DeloressGarden]

I’m also in zone 8a. What month did you plant your garlic? Did you have to place them in the refrigerator first prior to planting? Thanks in advanced

[@humbleservantshomestead7974]

We planted them during the winter the last week of November. They were not placed in the refrigerator. Most of the cloves we planted were actually from garlic we grew and harvested last year.

[@DeloressGarden]

@@humbleservantshomestead7974 thank you for such a speedy reply. My garlic did not bulb up unfortunately. This year will be better. Thank you again.

[@humbleservantshomestead7974]

@@DeloressGarden what time of year did you plant them? We can plant garlic anytime between fall and winter as long as the ground is workable(not frozen). Even in winter, if there is a break in the weather to work the ground then go for it. Just remember to fertilize them because the love nitrogen. We use a lot of manure from our animals when we plant for this reason. It's high in nitrogen. We did a video last year on fertilizing garlic with store bought fertilizer as well.

What is the drying process?

[@A-G5518]

Im in zone 9a and planted my garlic December 1st. No freezing or snow here. Our landscapers cut our garlic greens off but they regrew. Do you think they will bulb with their setback? If so, when should I be able to harvest? I'll check for your tips but also wondering what timeframe im looking at. Ive heard it should be July, but i dont get snow or freezes that slow them down over winter.

[@libertybellemedia7165]

Ohhh! so they wont last as long and will spout early

[@humbleservantshomestead7974]

They store pretty well when they are harvested right on time. There is plenty of paper layers that preserve the bulb vs when they stay too long under the dirt and the layers rot off.

[@mozzarellarick7537]

Are you worried about grazon being passed from the animal feed to the manure?

[@humbleservantshomestead7974]

We are not because the hay we use has not been sprayed with grazon! That's why it's important to know your local farmer and build relationships. We dont have a grazon issue here. Also if you look back at our videos our crops grow beautifully every season without issues. We would never feed our animals feed that has been sprayed because WE also eat the animals that we raise.

[@FreeAmerican-mm2my]

Chicken manure does not have a grazeon risk if you free range, grow your own chicken feed or feed them non GMO feed.
