I planted my first 6 cloves in November after stratifiying for a few weeks (we don't have much of a winter here). To my utmost delight they all sprang up immediately and in early April they were done. Among all the veg I've been trying for the first time (I do flowers mainly) and came out well, the garlic made me the happiest. I danced around, showing them to anyone in sight.. it's such magic - put one clove, get a bunch! :)

[@TheMixingBowlHomestead]

Oh, I love that "God's gonna do the watering today" Amen to that. I planted some store bought garlic last fall because all the seeds stores were sold out by then. They did ok but once all the April showers came; they started to go bad, so I pulled them all. They still grew of medium size and are good enough for cooking. Now watching this video, went to Baker's Creek and they are sold out. I was fortunate to have found some at Gurney's. So folks, get your garlic orders in early like Mr. Hollis said. Thanks Mr. Hollis and Mrs. Nancy for all you do to teach us. I'm off to watch part 2 of this series now.

i love that you share your homestead you all must save a lot on grocery shopping. I have a big back yard but I can only grow in my small side yard even still my husband would not let me plant a lot so I need to get creative. trying to figure out container growing.

[@HollisNancysHomestead]

+Digishots Photography Container gardening is very easy to do and maintain. It is very popular for folks with limited space. Vertical gardening is also a big space saver.

I've got more fall garlic and onions to plant, so I'm rewatching this very complete series of videos. Thanks again Hollis and Nancy. I'm glad you're taking some time to relax and enjoy your home and family. Always good to get some rest and recreation in. Keeps you healthy!

Always enjoy watching your videos! Very informative. Rewatching this video I realized how much you remind me of my dad Hollis. My dad was a hard worker who loved to garden and share his knowledge and experience. He taught us in a similar fashion as you and your voice sounds a lot like his. He passed away this summer. Thanks again for sharing you tips, tricks, faith and love of Christ.

[@HollisNancysHomestead]

So sorry for your loss Sheri. Losing our parents is such a deep pain. We are really never the same after they are gone. Seems like I never realized how much my parents are a part of my being until they passed away. I have some new videos coming out after the first of the year. I hope they will bring some joy to you. Have a peaceful new year my friend

I just ran across this video. Very thorough. We are just outside Richmond and probably have a bit colder weather but not too bad. Planted my first garlic last fall. Cannot wait to see how it turns out this summer. Only issue I had was the darned squirrels dug up about a third of what I planted.

I plant garlic in containers in the fall in western NY near buffalo. I cut blue 55 gal barrels into three containers. They do great thru the winter. I have magic and German purple stripe.

[@HollisNancysHomestead]

That is awesome!

[@BradsMyAgent]

I stumbled upon your walla walla onion video, and was thinking you sounded pretty Newport News. Then I saw your boat and the brick rancher. As a life-long Newport News fella myself, I chuckled when I heard you give it away at the beginning of this video! I venture to say there are lots more of us gardening these days, but I've always enjoyed it. You could say it runs in the family. Here's to a bumper crop and tight lines!

[@rhondadavis5387]

I won the lottery finding your videos! I will see everything you have, I have a big garden but so discouraging because the soil is like sand and trees don't take off great, uses to much water and I would like to make those wood beads to start to plant. Thank you so much

[@HollisNancysHomestead]

Welcome to the family ❤️❤️🐶

[@richardmiesell4785]

In a rustic sort of garden I don't worry too much about uniformity, and does that template not repack the soil you just loosened? I kind of like obtaining loose granular soil by the use of mulch with wood bark and greens, and such. But I digress I only grow in containers. And my garlic right now is from 12 to 18 high, looking real nice. A great video. Thanks

[@jpsf9040]

Thank you Hollis and Nancy. I love the garlic template you made. I’m new at planting garlic and will follow your tips. Also growing bok choy in containers. I also watched your bok choy video.

During the winter I let the rain/snow take care of them until spring

If so, can you tell me how and where you keep the cloves so that they remain fresh for so long. Thanks so much! I thoroughly enjoy your channel and love watching and learning from you guys. God bless...

[@HollisNancysHomestead]

[@internetuser2399]

Hi Hollis and Nancy, I love your videos. I'm wondering if anyone has any tips for fall garlic in containers--in this video Hollis says you need to plant fall garlic in the ground so it can stay warm, but we're renting so I'd prefer to do containers! I saw the other videos on container garlic but it looks like they're grown in spring. I think we'll probably still try fall garlic in containers but maybe make the containers small and bring em inside if we get bad frosts (we're in zone 6b). Thanks!

[@patmandolla1806]

Years ago I harvested my garlic and braided the tops and hung them on a knot on the pine tree. My dad sat in his chair observing all of this and then asked, " Is that going to keep the evil spirits away?" I'll never forget his funnies.

How do you know when to water and when to stop. I am new at this

[@thomasrusby1628]

Hollis, can I use the same method in March for summer garlic in Pennsylvania, or am I better off doing container garlic in March or April

[@HollisNancysHomestead]

Go with containers at this time. The garlics will be small at harvest time in July but they are extremely tasty as seasoning in your cooking. For the large garlic, plant about 6 weeks prior to your first predicted frost date in the fall and allow them to winter over. By the following July you will have some nice Garlic 👍

[@lisabooker6405]

Hollis I sure hope you can give me some good news cause I think I messed up. I planted mine in pots cause I don't have an earth 🌏 garden in the fall. None of the community gardens offer them so all my fall/winter planting I do in pots. I'm in Ohio and get all that freezing and snow ya spoke of. Should I bring them indoors to the house 🏡 or will that stunt them or ruin them? I was so excited to plant them for the first time. :( 😞 I sure hope they grow. I did amend my soil with bone meal and some worm castings too. The worm 🐛 castings was to kind of loosen up my soil a little more than anything. I did mulch them over good too just cause I thought 💭 that was smart 🤓! ANY of your garden genius advice would be appreciated as always. Thanks so much for all you and Nancy do. You know I just love y'all both! God Bless! My best to Nancy and Bing Bing! 😊 ✝️💞✝️

[@HollisNancysHomestead]

+Lisa Booker Hi sweet friend! No worries, simply bring them into your garage or anywhere you have that is out of the weather. Set them back outside in the spring.

[@IsaacNewton1966]

OK. So this is the first year that I have grown garlic. My harvest was wonderful! Now I have a little problem. I hung them up in my garage, and I should have cut the tops off. Now there is a brown mushy stuff in the center of the bulb. It only affect the paper covering on the cloves. When you peel them, the cloves are still nice and white. My concern is, if I try to plant these in October, for next years garlic, will I get disease because of the rot on the cloves? Should I peel the garlic to get rid of pathogens? Peel, and dip in rubbing alcohol before planting or.............?

[@niknabeelahnikibrahim510]

I wonder how to plant a one bulb garlic. Its very fragrant. Guess you dont plant what you buy in the market.

[@HollisNancysHomestead]

I don’t usually do that

[@thomasashe2681]

I like the green part of the garlic best. What would happen if you harvest the green part too much?

[@HollisNancysHomestead]

We love the tops in stir fry, soups, etc. That is why we plant Spring Garlic in containers. They don’t get as big as the Fall Garlic but that is okay because what we are really after with the spring garlic is the tops

[@thomasashe2681]

I grow them until they get 6 inches tall and then cut them and they grow again but after 4-5 times of them growing to 6 inches they stop producing so I empty the pot and the bulbs have shriveled up. Why is this?

[@HollisNancysHomestead]

+Donna Anderson Thanks for watching Donna. No you don't, they can soak longer if you want to. Many people let the soak for 24 hours. You can let them dry off after soaking and it won't hurt them. I usually pull them from the soak and plant them

[@dustman96]

Not to down on this video, but you can grow garlic easily without all the expense. You can get compost for dirt cheap at materials supply places and can plant directly in that, maybe get some free wood chip from a tree service for mulch. I say this because I want people to know that gardening can be done very inexpensively, and it's not complicated. Well, trying to grow mangoes in Alaska is complicated.

Can I still grow hard neck and elephant in Southern California?

[@HollisNancysHomestead]

+S Hale You probably can. So Cal is not as hot as Florida or Georgia. Give it a whirl👍

[@NJS7577]

Can we use grocery store garlic ?

I watched you guys waste the carrots the most important part the leaves have all the nutrition to put back into your plants if you guys really composted or even mulched it or turn it in would be great for your future plants.

[@HollisNancysHomestead]

We don’t like the taste of carrot tops so we don’t save them. We will have a compost pile in our new homestead but I still will not save the tops. I will burn them. Saving carrot tops in your compost pile draws carrot flies and will ruin your garden

How often will you water them?

[@HollisNancysHomestead]

+Cindy Hayslette I will be watering about once per week until the first frost. After that I will let nature take over

im in 9a man. Gulf Coast. Its Sept 28th. What happens if i put in now? What happens if you put garlic in too early?

[@HollisNancysHomestead]

You want to time it 45 days before your first frost. However, living in Florida I don’t feel that is too much of a concern. The idea is you want your garlic to root in before the first frost but not start any green above the soil level. I don’t worry about that too much. The garlic can easily tolerate a few light frosts. So, I will be planting my garlic here in my area (Zone 9A) the 2nd week of October

I wondered if you were OCD. I don't find that a bad quality. Guess it's because I am, too! But you break stuff down so that even an idiot can understand and that's what I need. I'm brand new to gardening.

Welcome to the joy and peace of gardening ❤️😇
