Planting Fall Garlic From Start to Finish

[@ermspa9373]

Been growing the same garlic from the cloves since 1947. A family member brought it over from italy at the end of ww2 my dad grew it until he died in 2000 now I grow it, gave something to my cousin who lives In Illinois. I don’t plant until the middle of October. Garlic wants to freeze in hard that what gives good separation of the cloves. So plant close to first frost and then just let it grow you will see little green leaves poking up in march as the snow melts than I usually harvest around the 4 of July than enjoy the best garlic till almost the following year

[@samme1024]

Wow. What an incredible tradition! And lucky non go heirloom garlic for you!

[@justjenn9011]

Thats incredible! What a great tradition and to be able to have that same gsrlic that came over from Italy! Just wow!

[@Krep45]

Would you be willing to send me a few bulbs?!

I would love some too, that is if you decide you want to message any of us requesting it. Happy gardening.

[@rhcp8390]

I don't know how many times I've watched this and your other garlic videos, but growing garlic has become less intimidating. I found a local variety that I planted last November and wound up harvesting over 70 bulbs in June. I can't wait to do it again!

I saw this video a year ago and this year I'm finally taking the plunge and trying this. Today we picked up garlic from a local nursery so we know it's perfect for our area!

[@WisdombyExperience]

Ok. You inspired me to get some garlic and grow it. Ordered a pound. Have a bed ready. Garlic should arrive October. Now I’ve watched the video and I am ready! Thanks! ❤️

[@gewgulkansuhckitt9086]

Where I live (south Alabama), garlic grows like a weed. We don't plant it. It comes back each year on its own. I tried to eradicate it in one spot, but it still came back. From the main bulb clusters, little roots grow sideways and grow individual bulbs. When you pull up the plant to harvest the main bulb cluster, those side bulbs get left behind and sprout new garlic the next year. And of course if you don't harvest a plant, those bulbs come up as well - at least where I live.

[@reneeodayok859]

lucky duck!

[@suki650]

I live in Maine. After my first year of growing, I noticed the next the same. I thought I had missed pulling them up. I didnt realize that they would spread. So awesome. Love garlic!!! Planting this week for the first time in 6 years. Excited.

You’re so awesome Luke! I’m growing garlic for the first time this year and I’m so excited. They’ve sprouted already but I watched your video on that too :D thank you so much you’re so inspiring

[@gkalmancy]

Thank you for this. Excellent information. I’m planting my first crop this season. What I would liked to have seen is after planting the cloves what other necessary steps such as mulching, watering and fertilizing requirements through winter until harvest

[@nohandleforme....]

Well, I put my MIgardener garlic in the ground today. I hope I'm not too late. I have never grown garlic before so I only ordered 3 heads, which gave me 17 cloves. If this works out well, I will probably increase the amount next year. Thanks Luke, for your great products and great videos. I have learned a lot from you.

[@HomewardBound961]

You could also just save some of the ones you have and replant. Never buy garlic again!

[@chieule7540]

Hi Luke. Can you go over the best way to cure garlic and how long it should last if it's properly stored? And can you remove all the greens to use in cooking right before drying them?

[@thomshere]

I LOVE gardening almost as much as you and this really is one of THE very best channels on here! I grew up in Rochester Hills, MI and we always had a 1 and 1/2 acre garden for just veggies and we had flowers that my mom and dad collected eveywhere and many fruit trees as well. I now live in central Arkansas and although I can grow things like Carolina Reaper peppers and other things that I could not grow in MI, I GREATLY miss my pure black 2 foot thick topsoil! I live in the foothills of the Ozark mountains and It's so beautiful here but the terrain here is solid rock after digging down about 4 inches so I container garden and thats ok but I miss my good rich black dirt! Thank you so much for all your helpful videos! Btw, I used to build and race Iceboats out at lake St Clair. Take care!

[@TheGrangie]

[@Look-to-NatureHomestead]

Check out Garden Like a Viking's video on the garlic harvest

[@PatricesProjects]

Nice garlic planting episode. I agree with ignoring the spacing suggested by seed companies, or experts. I plant intensively, and I also stagger the rows to maximize space, and my garlic came out beautifully. I found that 3 inches apart worked well and gave me just enough room to harvest at the end.

[@terrim.602]

Thank you! Great video. I forgot to somehow let you know we picked and ate our first acorn squash from seeds we bought from you. It tasted sooo amazing!!! What a difference compared to store bought acorn squash! We plan to grow a couple plants next year. We have harvested some butternut squash, but haven't tried them yet. Thank you so much!

[@mollysmith6055]

So great that you are offering people good, safe garlic to plant. I have been using 'Music' (hard neck) for a few years now and just love it and am so grateful that I have disease-free stock. The friend who taught me successful garlic growing in my area said to plant October 15 and harvest July 15...it has been a great 'rule' to follow. (Although, don't tell her but I watch for the lower 3 leaves to die before I actually harvest and not strictly by the calendar.) I always add bone and blood meal to the planting holes. Your spacing sounds awesome--talk about getting increased yields!

[@farmerjon5532]

Luke, I love your videos, and the effort you put into getting a lot of info out in a very enjoyable manner. I hate to be "that guy", however, those are not 2" on center. They are 4" on center. Yes they have 2" on each side, but "on center" is a spacing term, from the center of one object to the center of another object. It's not a reference to how much room is on each side of the plant to grow. I only bring this up because a lot of people won't understand that your definition differs from what is universally understood otherwise. If you put studs in a house 16" on center, they are 16" from the center of one stud to the center of next stud. I estimate by appearance that that is a 36" bed. At 2" on center, 8 bulbs would only add up to a total of 16" long, then add 2" on each end, you'd be at 20", which is way shy of filling it end to end, which you did, in this video. 8 cloves 4" apart = 32", with a little space at the ends. Many people will not understand this, and put them 2" apart, and thus be too close together

[@purplethumb7887]

I have a balcony garden, and I've always planted my plants this way to save space in containers. 👍

[@sherinjohnson9011]

Dear MI Gardener, the video is a little incomplete presently, after planting the garlic what do u do? We’ll mulch it etc or cover it completely with soil? Thanks

[@luckypenny312]

I cover bed with cardboard. After winter, its broken down and parts that arent, the garlic is determined and grows right thru it. Easy, cheap ( free cardboard and the worms LOVE it) ) and works every time. .

[@peggypastime1278]

Some say to cover with crushed leaves or straw up to 8" deep over winter! I'll be trying to grow garlic for first time. We'll see! lol

[@cherylanon5791]

Re the recommended spacing-- I find that I need to allow enough space for huge growth-- storage onions, cylinder beets included (plant them 4-6 inches apart) Will be trying the garlic at this spacing too. After 24 yrs of enriching our soil everything grows "big" ....so big I can't hardly find my foot paths and am contemplating spacing the beds farther apart (no sides so it will be easy). Is there anything to this, where the plants grow SO big that we actually have to **increase** plant spacing? I mean my collards & kale are so overlapping at 18-24 inch spacing they look ridiculous. It's an ocean of greens!

Great. I intuitively did what you did with the spacing in my last Garlic bed in my open garden. It was very effective. I have a question about your wood chips outside the beds? I wish I had more space, but I don’t. What is under your wood chips in the paths? How do you handle weeds there? Do you have cardboard or what under the chips? Thanks yet again Luke.

[@AK-ip2em]

It's Oct 13th, '24 in zone 5b/WI. Is it a must to refrigerate the garlic first before planting? First timer here. Keep smiling!

[@pn3940]

for some reasons, I started my garlic planting last year, one type of garlic in two different spots and I got two different clearly different results. One, in a pot and one in the ground. In a pot has half full sun, while in the ground full after noon sun. The one in the ground seem to produce very large size; however, when time to harvest, they seemed to have split into individual cloves already in the ground. The one in the pots gave small garlic, but tight like they should be.

[@SaturdaySoul]

Thank you for this. I'm always experimenting too.

[@daliacastello2608]

Got my seeds the grab bags wow I was so blessed got a total variety, bunch of things I wouldn't have ordered so the coming spring planting a lot of new things for myself. Thanks Mr. and Mrs. M I Gardener!!

[@davesterchele2679]

I've planted hard-neck garlic with varied success in Michigan (6A Kalamazoo). The main difference seems to have been freeze/thaw cycles. This year I will be planting in raised beds with mulch over them once frost starts. This will allow the soil to maintain a more consistent temperature. In the past I've planted in containers both exposed and with bubble wrap. The containers that were exposed to several freeze/thaw cycles had poor results. The ones that were able to maintain more stable temperatures did better. I suggest if you are going to grow in containers, make sure they are insulated in some way, or use like 5 gallon or larger and keep the cloves towards the center to avoid several temperature fluctuations.

[@shashir7430]

what kind of mulch did you use?

[@IsaacNewton1966]

I love planting and growing garlic! It's soooo easy! And I love garlic!

[@Adol666]

Garlic is one of the easiest plants to grow indoors with nothing more then a decent grow light. You can also skip the dormancy stage groweing indoors. My garlic usually takes about ten days to poke out of the ground. I like to soak the cloves in water over night. Are you saving money? IDK probably not but if you like to garden and know where your food comes from its worth it.

[@catherinegrace2366]

[@kiki29073]

I knownhe doesn't suppory doing it but, I've taken spott3d ends from the grocery store cloves and planted them for years. It works. I get a full head of garlic everytime. I do the same with onions and potatoes. I've done it in pots and inground. Doesn't matter. Will also do it with pineapples in ckmtainers. I'll get a pineapple in 2 years or so. My b.i.l that lives in Florida started doing the pineapples inground and has a whole crop of them now. They got 26 this past year.

[@Maggie-Gardener-Maker]

@@kiki29073 I do the same because I don't want to just toss those onion and garlic ends in compost pile but I can't get all the heirlooms at the grocery store so I still like to try the different ones I can find from the seed sellers, then I can replant those ends too.

[@BrewCityGardener]

@@Marlgrump1 I don't have an exact recipe. I make it according to how many scapes I have. I roughly blend scapes, high quality parmesan cheese, pine nuts and high quality olive oil in a food processor. Add a dash of sea salt to taste. Play around with it. It is amazing and freezes well.

I put my scapes in the food processor for a few spins to make them smaller then dry them, when they are completely dry I put them back in the food processor or blender and grind them up for a really nice mild garlic powder. I put them in little bags and give them to my family members every Christmas and they are thrilled with them.

[@BrookeandBaby]

I planted my garlic 🧄 in late fall I think end of October early November in our raised garden beds. - I live in New Hampshire so winter is very cold here and snowy. I’ve noticed the tops of the garlic finally poking through the snow about an inch or so now - is that too long to show? I feel like every video I see the green scape grows out so quickly.. it’s been 3 months. maybe they’re planted in warmer climates in those videos.

[@patrickoconnor5652]

Thanks for inspiring this novice vegetable grower with your video. I would like to ask when you would expect to harvest your garlic and how long you can realistically leave it in the ground pass the harvest date if you do not anticipate using it all at once. Or, if you might stagger the planting of the rows over time to stagger when the harvest time. Alternatively would you just plant out all at the same time and store the harvest in a cool dry place and use as required. Sorry this has rambled a bit. Thanks in anticipation.

[@deborahhanna6640]

Think he plants all at the same time because they keep about 6 months if dry & cool. OR you can harvest all at the same time peel & throw into the food processor then keep a couple small jars in the fridge & the rest in the freezer until necessary for use.
