I have to use chicken wire over the soil after I plant....because the squirrels dig it up...ugh. I put about 1-2” of crushed fall leaves under the wire. Garlic has no issue pushing thru the wire in the spring.

[@angelaraum1545]

Thank you for the info. Those dang squirrels did that to me. But then left the garlic so i replanted. For now I put tulle on top.

[@my3bsfarm863]

Good advice thanks

[@jackrudden5970]

I just planted garlic I got at the grocery store. Did well last year. Pretty sure it was soft neck.

[@douggibson9084]

Great video Gary, don't forget about the scapes. Thanks 👍

[@jaytoney3007]

I'm in Talladega Co. Alabama. Every year is different, so it is a crap shoot as to whether we will have hard freeze and snow or not. I just happen to have a bunch of uneaten garlic in my kitchen. It is probably soft neck, having been purchased at a big box store. I have it, so I may as well plant it. The first frost is early this year, Tuesday. Four weeks after the first frost is planting day, so about November 15th. We had a hot summer with summer hear arriving a month early, so I am betting on a long cold winter this year. I am prepared for it with hoops on all of my raised beds, and more than enough 6 mil greenhouse plastic. (Not the stuff purchased at the local stores.)

Gonna try growing some hardneck this fall in Kansas. Really enjoying your channel. Great content and to the point!

Staggering the rows is a good idea, IMO.

[@rsavre1]

Thanks Gary, I’m in zone 9b California, so I don’t water then until spring? We may not have rain until December if then. Last year I watered them in at least.

[@THERUSTEDGARDEN]

You dont want it to be bone dry. So you might have to water it 1x a month or so.

I mix my granulated fertilizer in with the soil and after I poke the holes for the cloves I put a little bone meal dust in each hole. I also put about 4-6" of straw on the bed over the winter.

[@THERUSTEDGARDEN]

[@pilsplease7561]

straw is a good way to get diseased garlic

[@NematodeAnemone]

I wish I could grow hardneck garlic where I am. German garlic is my favorite and the big cloves are so easy to peel!

[@gregbluefinstudios4658]

Hardneck Garlic can be grown in warmer climates... take the garlic and put it in FRIDGE (NOT FREEZER) for 2 months, THEN plant it, before "winter."

[@NematodeAnemone]

@@gregbluefinstudios4658 If I am in the Southwest it is probably something to order and refrigerate asap

[@pilsplease7561]

thats too long like 3-6 weeks is enough unless your zone 10 and above. @@gregbluefinstudios4658

[@KatMSmith]

I always thought your area got cold and snow. Guess I better study a bit. lol Where is the best place to buy soft neck garlic? Can I just buy organic from the market? Oh, we’ve already eaten my first wave of radishes and just had the last watermelon tonight. I’m so so happy that I’m able to garden again using raised totes. My back loves it and I love it! Thank you for sharing

[@THERUSTEDGARDEN]

It does for sure. But I can grow both. They both can deal with winters but soft neck does not need cold. It is not harmed by cold.

I love your videos and you have helped with a lot of my questions. I was trying to find a video on planting onions in fall? Do you have one on your channel?

[@THERUSTEDGARDEN]

I dont. But if you are up north and are in the Long Day Onion zone, you can grow in fall.

Yep, not much different than the ground. Let me know if you have specific questions.

Is it mandatory that they don't freeze? We're zone 4b/5a. Even with mulch the ground freezes solid for 3-4 months. The garlic comes up in the spring okay so far but maybe we've just been lucky?

[@travelchannel304]

Will garlic work as a deterrent for deer if planted near otger plants the do like?

If it’s not organic it’s probably got growth inhibitors sprayed on. Grocery stores don’t want sprouting garlic. Try washing them good or buy the organic and try again. I bought elephant garlic from a local farmers market and they all sprouted and are used to my area. Hope this was helpful!

[@lizzg1124]

What's the difference between short day long day bulbs.... Region 5-6 Midwest southern Illinois Is that The same as hard and soft neck? Thank you in advance

[@THERUSTEDGARDEN]

No. They bulb based on the amount light.

I have soft neck which have one inch green shoots. Question: should I leave the green shoots above the soil level or should I bury them? Edit-I’m in northern Maryland

[@PerfectTiming-Turn10]

Well I’m in Florida, and it only gets cold here for like 2 weeks at most. So that means i can’t grow the hard neck and you just freaking said it’s the best tasting kind haha so since I’m in Florida, it’s always hot here in south Florida, so what you’re saying here is that I can grow the soft neck kind any time, starting any month? Like, I can go to the store right now, buy a bulb and stick a couple of cloves in a garden pot right now since it’s about to get cold here for a few minutes? The softneck one right? I can grow that any time here?

[@THERUSTEDGARDEN]

I would look up growing garlic in Florida. It will give you better details but you can grow softneck. Probably good to put any garlic you buy in the refrigerator for 4 weeks. That creates a bit of a could period and can help with bulb production.

[@tanyagonzalez9894]

How often do you need to water the garlic?

[@THERUSTEDGARDEN]

Infrequently. Varies on temps and rain but when cooler, not often.

[@RocketPipeTV]

Can I plant hard neck in May? I left them in the fridge for a month or so…

[@THERUSTEDGARDEN]

I am not sure. I would experiment. They tend to like long cold period but you gave it some.
