Midsummer Harvest's Secret Unearthed || Midsummer Harvest Celebration || What Is Midsummer Harvest

Evening both…..our garlic had horrendous rust, worst I’ve known. I’m contemplating growing some in the tunnel now I have a decent sized one. I’ve left the Elephant for another week but looks promising. 🌸

[@nodignorfolkgardener4575]

Rust can be tough to deal with, but it's great to hear that the Elephant garlic is looking promising! Do let us know how the elephant garlic harvest is!

Great video guys mrs w sounds as if she's too many gn to well done.

[@nodignorfolkgardener4575]

Mrs. W's energy levels are off the charts! She is always so happy and full of beans, a welcome drink always comes after filming and yes that would be a gin! Glad you enjoyed the video and thanks for watching!

[@robertclinton7717]

Going to the allotment today to harvest my garlic hope I get the same results as you

[@nodignorfolkgardener4575]

Good luck with your garlic harvest! I'm sure you'll have a great yield!

[@markdavies6790]

It was my Solent Wight that were badly affected by rust this year.

[@nodignorfolkgardener4575]

I'm sorry to hear that your Solent Wight was badly affected by rust. It can be tough dealing with plant diseases!

[@HeatherNokes]

think I might have to pull mine up today! I've had mesh over mine the whole time, so it is a mystery now what's going on under there...fingers crossed :-)

[@nodignorfolkgardener4575]

Good luck with pulling it up! Hope everything turns out well. Do let us know the results!

We are on the same page with garlic but I wait another month before I sow my winter carrots. I never heard of eskimo but will check it out. I harvested 51 heads of garlic today and most were very nice. Maybe a half dozen were a bit deformed or beginning to split so I'll be using them first. All the others are in the shed curing. I highly recommend a hardneck variety called extra hardy german. They always produce the largest heads for me and I grow four or five different varieties. The regular german garlic is nothing spectacular so make sure you get the extra hardy german if you decide to give it a try.

[@nodignorfolkgardener4575]

Hi Frank, good to hear the garlic is good! 51 heads and most good. I'll look out for the hardy German and see if I can find the US equivalent to Eskimo!

No rust on our garlic which is very pleasing. But I'm fretting over when to harvest them. Maybe I should have pulled them already. Me and Mrs J will go and have a look this evening. Well done to Sasha for doing so well, and well done for you both for bragging about it. I think your video production values have taken another step up recently which makes watching them even more enjoyable. Well done and keep them coming.

[@nodignorfolkgardener4575]

I appreciate your kind words and support Ken! When did you plant your garlic? Have you had a scrape around to see if they are of a size and split ok? An October sowing generally means a June harvest. We are very proud of young Sasha, she is the first of our family to be a graduate so well worth a shout out! I am so happy that you have noticed the little things we have been adding to our final cut!

@@nodignorfolkgardener4575 I've just checked and I planted them late, 14th December2023. So they are not ready. No yellow leaves at all. All Mersley Wight.

[@nodignorfolkgardener4575]

I would think another 4 to 6 weeks then Ken, I would however check them every week by the middle of July. Mersley White are a later harvest anyway and the taste is amazing!

Great harvest of garlic - they will see you nicely though to next Spring. I grow Provence Wight. I have been saving my bulbd for a few years now, but this year they had to get used to new sil as I planted them out on my new allotment. I am very pleased with them- good size bulbs, despite rust. Happy Gardening 🙂

[@nodignorfolkgardener4575]

That sounds amazing! Garlic is such a versatile and flavourful ingredient to have on hand. I am really happy to read that your garlic has done very well in it's new home!

[@freckles2437]

I have been growing Czechmate for 5 years and rust was bad this season, not a bad harvest, better than I was expecting it to be.

[@nodignorfolkgardener4575]

It's great to hear that your harvest turned out better than expected despite the challenges you faced! sounds just like our harvest!

[@markshaw5835]

[@nodignorfolkgardener4575]

That's amazing! Building a shed out of pallets sounds like a great project. Do let us know how it goes!

[@albertchalmers96]

Will do got floor down and three walls so far got phone call of the wife saying are you coming home

[@petewestlake8564]

My garlic was poor it bent over early and I harvested it to avoid it rotting. However the heat this week has resulted in an abundance of strawberries we’ve had 3 punnets in 2+days Also harvesting B-road beans p. My hot composter is at 70 degrees and cooking nicely I shall sow some carrots shortly.

[@nodignorfolkgardener4575]

Hi Pete, sorry to hear about the garlic, but what a great harvest of strawberries and broad beans on tap. Keep going with that composting!

[@wendycullingworth3879]

Great video thanks. My garlic is just a couple of inches tall but has potential! New Zealand grower here.

[@nodignorfolkgardener4575]

Thank you for your kind words! I'm thrilled to hear about your garlic's progress Wendy. Of course it is not yet the summer for you so when we are in our autumn/winter do let us know of your amazing harvests - they will remind us of summer gone by. Keep up the great work and thanks for watching our channel!

[@wendycullingworth3879]

@@nodignorfolkgardener4575 thanks for your reply - don't hold your breath, last year was a very rusty year!

[@1claireellis]

Any tips on how to cure it once pulled up. My first time growing 😊

[@nodignorfolkgardener4575]

Hi Clair, we shall show on next Mondays video, but essentially you will be drying the neck so there is no moisture!
