This Clever Method of Planting Garlic Makes it TOO EASY to Maximize Your Yield in the Garden

[@plantstastegood]

Our 2 year old son has just harvested the last carrots of the year, he loves it in the garden 🙂 Also he independently recognised a volunteer lettuce, and said 'lettuce' amid the spinach patch! Made me so proud. We're planting garlic today. These are invaluable lessons I'm so happy to be able to teach my son ❤🥬🍅🥕

[@Samvisualarts]

My God, that's so amazing

[@chickentender4037]

Great way to start kids eating healthier and teaching them to be self-sufficient. My nephew started by planting seeds with my mom at 2 years old, and loved to pick vegetables for his soup. He always ate all his veggies growing up.

[@CynthiaJKress]

He'll remember that and it'll stay with him throughout his lifetime. I grew up that way. Learning so much just by watching, helping. I'm thrilled that he already knew the lettuce from the spinach! ❤

[@michaelreed9733]

Hey James , have you ever planted the small little cloves of garlic an grown them very close together. Pull them when they get the size of a green onion . They are great . Just chop them up like you would a green onion an you have the garlic flavor for stir fry or soups an stew.

[@JonathanFox-uj1rv]

I advise others to as well. You get some odd surprises. Got an EGG garlic last year. The thing grew to a larger than golf ball size. It was wonderful too.😊😊

A quick way to separate hardneck garlic: hit the neck on a hard surface and the root end will pop off. Thank you for your videos 😊

I mulch them with straw, and in the spring the garlic shoots right through the straw to grow healthy bulbs. The straw keeps the weeds out through the summer growth.

Inchelium is pronounced inch-el-ee-um, I live in Washington where that variety was discovered here in the small town of Inchelium located on the Colville Indian Reservation that I am from. It is a great garlic. We are growing it here too, as well as a couple hardneck varieties that are Spanish Roja and Romanian Red. I love your channel, a lot of great information every video. Thank you.

[@JustMe-mn4gr]

Is it too early to plant it in the Seattle area? It's been down to 29 degrees a couple times but typical weather will be mid-30s and above except for some cold fronts.

[@tsamyar]

Just found your videos a couple days ago. You and Tuck are inspiring to Phantom pup and I. Btw; it’s “Inch-uh-Liam.” At least according to the town about an hour north of me in Washington State.

[@WDWormsnGarden]

I just love how tuck enjoys fresh vegetables.

[@fionag8869]

I love wen tuck harvests his own veggies!

I try and plant after the first frost, Im thinking in my region of Vancouver Island BC Canada, it won't be cold until after Halloween, unfortunately

[@icouldjustscream]

Precious Tuck ♥ ! Zone 4 Canada, planted 210 cloves this fall. Half on Sept 30 and half on Oct 3. Cultivars are : Majestic, Susan Delafield, Great Northern, Red Rezan. We like garlic.

Thanks James for suggesting intercropping with tomatoes. That's exactly whaayt I'm going to do. My tomato bed is jst waiting to be mulched now it'll have something planted in it . Watch out. as I might make a video of it.

[@llswink]

Your gardening tips are always great, but little Tuck steals the show! I love your sweet dog.

[@lyseclement6628]

Here on Vancouver island last night, as the tradition goes, we celebrated Thanksgiving with friends. We had a nice dinner where we shared with each other our vegetables, berries and fruits in delicious various recipes. It was a feast! Everything, but the turkey, came from our gardens. Thank you for your great gardening lessons, James. They inspired me and my husband all kinds of planning in our backyard. Plus, your abundant joy overflows in our gardens :-) God bless you!

[@sanjuansteve]

I love planting the smallest garlic cloves for the continuous harvest of their greens! :D

[@Adnancorner]

you bring smile to peoples faces

[@jamesprigioni]

You must be talking about Tuck Adnan haha 🤣🐕❤️

[@richm5889]

By the way, the garlic scapes are delicious when sauteed or used as garlic is used, and gives an early garlic flavor while you're waiting for the bulbs to develop. So it's somewhat worthwhile in my estimation to let it grow but not to get even close to flowering.

[@OddWoz]

A man humble and kind, a garden, and his dog. Are you single? lol.

[@irishpixierose]

Love that Tuck enjoys the garden as much as you.

[@sundaycaradine2171]

Hi James and Tuck, I have just found your channel and I love it. Tuck is an amazing little friend and so well loved by you and you can tell he adores his daddy. I really hope I can try some of your advice soon we live in zone 7 in Alabama. You have a very pleasant voice and a great teacher. Thank you so much from Bama

[@darrellpidgeon6440]

Since I love fresh garlic so much it makes economic sense to grow my own. Recently I tried fermenting some in raw honey. Great stuff for chest congestion. My favorite snack is grated cheddar with mayo, at least one crushed clove (depending on the amount of cheese). I add some Italian seasoning. Makes a great spread on saltines. Now and then I mix in some sriracha when in the mood for spice.

[@lifeisroblox83]

I planted some organic soft neck garlic that I bought from my local grocery store. I went organic because I heard the other garlic could be treated to prevent growth so not to grow in the store. They have small green stems popping up about 2 inches tall. This was my first time. I can't wait for spring. I hope I get lots of garlic to share.

[@Vance-ik9ck]

Have been planting my garlic by the full moon in October for the last 20 years. Over 200 head a year with 98% germination. Both hard neck and soft neck. Mulch with shredded leaves. Usually see sprouts around mid November and they do not die back.

[@lesliewatts2878]

Great garlic session. Thank you. I'm up in the greater Ottawa area. Zone 4. My hard neck, 'Music', if dried well for 5-6 weeks, keeps until July of the following season as long as it is stored at room temperature in paper bags and in the dark. It is wonderful stuff; 4-6 cloves per head. It goes in Oct. 20th, top knuckle deep, in compost, topped with leaf mulch. A-1.

[@monkeneere1]

Wow I'm subscribing specifically for the bonus pup 10/10 very informative, I love Tuck

[@WideCuriosity]

Worth noting that scapes can be eaten. Stir fry seems to be the usual suggestion. But don't leave it too late to remove them or they'll become tough & fibrous and most unpalatable. I know from experience; I'm not going to leave them until too late next year.

[@bullfrogjay4383]

I ordered a ton of fruit trees and berry bushes from Stark Bros nursery and they all have done great. I know in some of his vids he references Rain tree nursery. Other than that you can search your areas for nurseries and also check Facebook marketplace. I found homesteaders super close that were selling fruits, veggies and trees at very low prices. You might be surprised how many growers are in your area.
