How to Grow Garlic for MASSIVE Harvest

[@tomsrandomness]

The amount of work that goes into these videos over the year is just incredible

[@HollisNancysHomestead]

Thanks for watching. Yes sir, it definitely takes a lot of work ❤️

[@NMW80]

Ik it’s awesome 😅 the whole process in one video

[@alexfjaklsjlslj771]

Could you do a break down of the growing of the garlic like you did the potatoes? Illustrations and all?

[@HollisNancysHomestead]

We already did. Videos are on our channel. Check out or garlic playlist

[@coloradodogsled]

I absolutely love the way you and Nancy work together on projects. Having a true partner in life is such a blessing that most of us never find. God bless!

[@HollisNancysHomestead]

Thank you so much for watching! Indeed, we are getting older and depend on each other to push through the many tasks on our homestead. At the end of the day we get the job done. Bing Bing always pitches in to help as well. ❤️❤️🐶

Mr. Hollis the clip with the dog sitting behind Mrs. Hollis in the chair was awesome 😅😅😅😅 it’s like he/she was ready for that shot and it was perfect 😃😃😃😃😃

I really like your garden video's, and you both are such a sweet couple that loves God and each other! God Bless!

[@wesleyferguson6932]

I just hope that my elephant garlic grows and does well this year 2024. Thanks for the videos you have done ❤❤❤

[@rawr50001]

Thank you so much for all your time and effort into making these videos. It’s tedious and takes lots of patience to record clips and waiting until the next stage for you to record a new clip. I’m sure you have lots of videos and projects that are ongoing ON TOP of all the work you put into your homestead. Just wanted to say you guys are amazing and keep it up. I’m looking forward to every new video

[@HollisNancysHomestead]

So nice of you

[@mariaoshoko8289]

Thank you to both you and Nancy. I've learned so much from watching and enjoying the hard work you've put into each video. Abundant Blessings always.

[@mompuff]

I’m so grateful I found your channel!!! I’m a beginner gardener!! I have binge watching your videos!!! I love how you guys start from seed to harvest in the same video!! Blessings from Kentucky 🙌🏻🦋🙌🏻

[@TheKentuckylady717]

Hi@mompuff, what part of Ky are you from ? So am I.....I don't garden, I just watch lol.....been there, done that in younger days.....love watching Hollis & Nancy.....they are not afraid of work for sure.....have a good one...6/3/23

[@suchatimeasthis5220]

I soaked my 2 garlic cloves in baking soda water for some hours & they popped up after planting a day later. They were in my fridge for months I figured I'd give them a try. I planted them on the nineteenth of November & the stalks are about 5" already... 😍🥰😁🥳

[@RudiiAnn]

Both of you are genius lol i wish my green thumb was as green as yours 😂 love it❤❤❤❤

[@HollisNancysHomestead]

😊 thank you

[@jimoray3]

Love your channel! We are from Florida but live retired on 4 acres in Northern Utah on a ski resort. Our growing season is not long so I have a grow shed that helps me get a 2 month head start. I planted 350 cloves of garlic in our raised beds in November and under 6 feet of snow all winter, they have emerged beautifully. It’s hard neck garlic for our area of 5B. No bugs to worry about here but the short gardening season is tough. I miss my sandy soil in Florida. Take good care and blessings to you two

[@donaldwells2102]

Garlic Galore, what an abundant harvest. Thanks Nancy and Hollis, you Folks are a blessing 🙂.

[@pastryshack551]

The dry garlic leaves make a beautiful tea

[@HollisNancysHomestead]

Nancy makes green garlic powder out of them.

Haven't seen you guys on KZbin in quite sometime, missed you guys

[@HollisNancysHomestead]

We have been here all along. Our videos don’t seem to be reaching our subscribers anymore. Glad you found us again. ❤️

[@russcampbell2414]

18:20 Plant garlic in November every year in Atlanta zone 7B. Great results with elephant garlic, seed garlic, and store bought garlic. Heavy on phosphorus for 1st month, then switch to balanced fertilizer next 3 months. Stop all fertilizing when bulb starts to appear. Harvest in June/July. Great success.

[@debbiee7850]

love that elephant garlic. LOVE the start to finish on the videos 😍

[@51rwyatt]

man when you folks grow something, you grow A LOT, love it

[@carolparrish194]

Thank you for the video. I have been growing elephant garlic for many many years. Your video gave me some new ideas and should help me to produce bigger bulbs. God Bless.

[@jeneaempson6762]

Thank you for your videos. I learn something new every thim I watch one.

Excellent soundtrack by the way! Congratulations on your work!

[@HollisNancysHomestead]

Thank you 🎸🎸🎸

[@kennymitchell9577]

Another wonderful and informative video Sir, thank you. I planted garlic 2 years ago on a whim but didn't grow them long enough nor put the required amount of effort into them. I'm a 3rd year veg grower so learning all the time. This year coming, I'll grow them longer and with your instruction, I'll be a bit more patient and attentive. Keep up the great work, these are the best videos on you tube. Have a wonderful and healthy 2024. Blessings from Scotland x

[@joycedigiovanni9719]

It was a delight watching the complete process. It's hard work but very rewarding in the end. You homesteaders are absolutely amazing - All of you. Thank you!

[@lsieu]

I love seeing you two together! I really like the suppliers that you've recommended. Here in SoCal, it's the right time to get those elephant garlic cloves into the ground. Thanks for taking us through the whole process.

[@lovinglife8097]

Wow.. that's big garlic.. thank you for sharing the video. Love those powder also.. ❤ you and Nancy are awesome.

[@kenchafin9890]

Time well spent. God Bless you both.

[@kele1264]

WOW, this is a fabulous video. I think it's one of my top three that you've shown! I am beyond impressed. The bulbs themselves, the dehydrated pieces, the powder! You've got me dreaming of soups and stews! And even eggs! Not to mention a dehydrator! I've made leek and potato soup before, and to know that these plants can be used as leeks also is really awesome! ❓❓Question for Nancy: did I interpret correctly - that the green dried pieces (chopped in the food processor?) and the green powder are from the leaves only? If so, I'm extra impressed! I would not have thought of that! What a beautiful thing to use every bit of the plant. Thanks so much for this video!

[@HollisNancysHomestead]

Nancy here, for me I use everything. The green part of the plant also taste like garlic. I put in soups and everything. :-)

I’m so glad you highlighted eating it early! I LOVE green garlic! I eat it in stir fry, salads, anything garlic or onions are used in.

[@HollisNancysHomestead]

Me too!!

[@MrStrongbox]

Impressive team effort effectiveness!

[@amandasmith4248]

I just priced Black Cow…. your beautiful garlic is the most expensive garlic ever. You used a lot to amend your soil. You are an amazing gardener!

[@HollisNancysHomestead]

You don't need as much if you have basic soil. We have sugar sand that is why we have to put so much. Blessing

[@Ok-Mardy]

Here's a tip if you want to use black cow or any other bagged product go to Lowes and look for damaged bags I've been doing it for years and getting them for half price I just get the ones that have the least amount of soil missing!

[@ilovecheese803]

You all are truly doing God's work. I am thankful to have come across your channel. My 11 year old is so excited to start our own small garden. Many blessings from Melbourne Florida.

Just lovely. Need more people to do what you are doing.🙏🏻 Just curious, at the end of the video you show a pile of sand that seems to be used for fires. What a great idea. Can you please talk more about that too. Curious if you use the ashes and all that good stuff. Blessings!

This was a great video from planting to harvesting. Here in Ohio it is too late for me to plant for next summer but I will refer back to your video for next fall. I can't wait to try to grow some next year.

[@tommielourogers4327]

Great job growing all of that elephant garlic. Nancy, you did great on dehydrating the elephant garlic. That was quite a haul for what some people would have thrown out. I know a a lot of chefs who use elephant garlic as a replacement for shallots when the shallots are hard to find or too expensive.

[@PattymacMakes]

Thanks for such a thoughtful and thorough explanation on growing garlic. I’m trying it for the first time this fall!! I also really appreciate seeing how Nancy does her preservation. I dehydrate my onions that I grow so they last me a lot longer and I would not have thought about dehydrating garlic as well. Please do include more information on preserving harvests!! Growing is one thing, but preserving it so it lasts until the following season is largely overlooked on gardeners channels. ❤
