Came over from Jules. Nice to meet you! We're going to start small this coming spring but may be planting garlic in there, too.

[@GrowfullywithJenna]

Hello and nice to meet you as well! Starting small is the way to go! You can always increase your plantings as time goes on... my garden gets bigger every year I think. Take care & thanks for visiting my channel!

I planted some elephant garlic I got from our city market here in Kansas City last fall-not sure when to harvest it, though. When do you suggest digging it up?

[@GrowfullywithJenna]

For elephant garlic I follow the same harvest timing as my regular garlic, I share the cues I look for here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/b6CQpoCufb9lm5Y

When you figuratively grabbed the garlic bulb with your hands, my wife made me change the video.

Hello! I am a young beginner farmer and I really hope you can give me some tips on how to get started on farming. I have seen your clay soil video and it was really helpful because my garden has that sort of problem! Please reply soon. Blackbird

[@GrowfullywithJenna]

Hello! I'm so glad to hear that you have decided to farm! The best advice I can give you is to focus on the soil. If you get your soil right everything else pretty much falls into place! After that, I'd recommend connecting with whatever local organization you have that is dedicated to helping small farmers. I'm not sure where you're located, but in my area we have OEFFA www.oeffa.org/ and SARE www.sare.org/ as 2 examples. There are also SO many great books on the topic. Check out "The Market Gardener" by Jean-Martin Fortier for starters. I hope this helps and wish you the very best of luck on your journey. Take care!

I am planning on trying to plant some elephant garlic in the next few weeks.

[@GrowfullywithJenna]

Best wishes for an awesome crop! Elephant Garlic really is impressive, with those huge bulbs & cloves!

What type of fertilizer do you use for the 2 times you fertilize? Do you have a favorite store or website you purchase from? Thank you :)

[@GrowfullywithJenna]

I generally use Garden’s Alive brand of fertilizers. I actually have been using their lawn fertilizer on my garlic for the first feeding, as it’s a bit higher in nitrogen. For the second feeding I’ve been using their Onions Alive fertilizer.

[@sn232]

@@GrowfullywithJenna I love your videos, super thorough, extremely helpful, full of options, and I really like that you experiment with various methods! I'm going to do what you did this year :) Thank you! Eager to see your results!

[@GrowfullywithJenna]

@@sn232 Thank you!

I’m wanting to preorder garlic to plant this fall. Any favorite varieties that you’ve planted here in 6A and 6B? Thinking hard neck would produce more than soft neck here too. Any favorite sources to purchase would help! 🧄Garlic newbie here!🧄

[@GrowfullywithJenna]

This year I had great results with Northern White, Music, Chesnok Red and Leningrad. This is particularly notable, because it was a very stressful spring for garlic here! And yes- in general I have better results with hardneck varieties.

@@GrowfullywithJenna Thank You Jenna Your one of the best on this platform!

[@meetasingh2612]

Jenna Can I jyst place garlic on the ground and cover with compost and a mulch

[@GrowfullywithJenna]

It does depend on your growing conditions/soil type- but in my area the garlic would likely frost heave if I planted this way.

Why are you using a ruler when you have a horihori?

[@thomasdupont3136]

. . . okay - will figure it out . . . will let you see when I do . . . it would be great if you figured it out first and put a video up . . .

I'm sorry, I'm not sure what you're referring to
