Also the garlic he said he didn't harvest in time, he said he bought at the grocery store. I'm assuming he meant culinary use garlic, as opposed to for planting. That would likely be soft neck garlic which does not develop scapes supposedly, but I see scapes /scapes remnants...?

Make sure you are removing the garlic scape after the first curl so that it puts the energy into the bulb.

@@patriciaboatman8423 a scape only forms on hardneck varieties. Its a flower stem that comes from the middle of the plant and as it grows it curls. You want to remove these when they begin to curl (,you can eat them) so that the energy goes into forming the bulb and not energy into the flower stem.

@@2MinuteGardenTips they're so tiny I don't see the point when you can grow up to 8 new good sized garlic bulbs from just one clove. It's still free if you keep a couple cloves to plant in the fall. I'm not sure Id dedicate space to a very underdeveloped bulb. But that's just me

Harvest those garlic scapes when they curl. They have a great mild garlic taste. Terrific to make a batch of pesto to freeze, use like green onions in cooking, or dry and powder for a mild garlic powder. Yum!

I need 2 minute garden tips to harvest onions if possible

I got a great garlic harvest this year. I built a drying rack for them for next year. I had garlic all over the place drying. I used the saw horse and wood slits. Built two, one for onions and one for garlic. Happy I got good seed garlic so I don’t have to buy them because they are kind of pricey.

Garlic is a must grow, and it's relatively easy.

Thank you for educating cause I needed to learn how and when to harvest garlic. Pulled my first plant today. Going to wait on all the others cause they're not quite ready yet

I pulled mine last week, but my climate is a bit ahead of most. When they've mostly died back, they're ready.

Thank you for this information on harvesting garlic🥰

Thank you for this video. I use garlic. I cook it by itself in a pan use in in all kinds of meals 😋

Cut back the scapes, then save a couple of your biggest bulbs to plant in the fall!

I let the scapes re-seed. You get smaller bulbs, but they're still good.

I appreciate u pulling it early!

My history shows that if you harvest scapes, you can use those and it also increases the output size of your bulbs at the end. I’ve always seen bigger bulbs when I cut my scapes off. Plus, the scapes are absolutely delicious. Is there a reason why you left the scapes on?

Nice! Thank you for sharing! 😊👍👍

Im about to pull up a head to see if they're ready. It's my first time growing organic seed garlic that was successfully overwintered. I'm still nervous that they didn't turn out, though. We'll see.

I planted from seed garlic and it's dying back heavily with some of them having already gone completely brown and it's only been just over 6 months.

I regularly use pantry sprouts. And my results are great. But... I see inconsistency in bulb development within my crops over the years.

The scapes take energy from the plant that would otherwise be used to develop the bulb. The "free gralic" you THINK you are getting is actually what might have been part of the bulb you didn't get. So, is it really "free?"

garlic had scapes growing and you never mentioned it. most garlic growers suggest cutting the scapes and that is the indicator that they should be ready to harvest in a 1-3 week period.

I've found elephant garlic to have less bite. Less taste. Is that the case with this garlic?

My daughter bought a house that had garlic planted. We didnt get to it in time and its now separated single cloves. What can we do with this now? Ty!

Did you plant your pantry garlic last Fall or this Spring? Thanks!!

Thanks for sharing. I moved to a new site and thought I had a bunch of onions growing. Turns out it’s garlic!!! I was wondering when to harvest. Is it typical mid summer??

@2MinuteGardenTips

Ай бұрын

It's going to vary widely based on where you live. I'll be pulling all mine within a week, so all my garlic will be harvested late May/early June. Folks in cooler regions will be behind me. Northern tier states may not harvest til mid-summer.

The garlic is as big as an onion. It's amazing.

The Music was quite beautiful.

You should harvest when half the plant has died, not the whole plant or you risk it splitting.

We had a really wet May/June. Sad I had to pull them so early but the bottom 3 leaves had died off and the soil was way too wet. Growing in southern BC is tough some years.

Because it went bad in the back of the pantry. It wasn't edible, so it was either throw it away or plant it. Therefore, free. It was inedible trash.

Why waste space on tiny grocery store garlic which is difficult to use anyway.

This video is not accurate, scapes should be removed for best size heads!

Don’t panic. Bees love allium flowers and I usually let one or two flower just for them. They won’t produce seeds, but you might get some bulbuls and those can be planted to grow into garlic but they take 2-3 years to actually make a head of garlic.

Seems like everyone’s garlic is about a month early this year. That’s okay because the beans will go in after they are harvested and have an extra month to grow on.
