Thanks for such a comprehensive video! I’ve watched a zillion vids but never have the questions i have answered! And I never know when to harvest, what to look for, what the plant should like when it’s ready, etc. Your step by step from beginning to end is exactly what I needed! Thanks so much! I appreciate it, so I subscribed!

Hi there ... I came across your video and found it to be a great tutorial on garlic. Thank you. We tried to start a small garlic patch last fall. We totally messed up by planting the full heads! It is now August and the scapes are huge. Can I salvage these garlic heads and replant them this year? Thank you.

I agree. I've been planting garlic, but I am still learning so much from this video. I just realized that I was not watering my garlic in late October , before the snow comes, and looks like I should have done it. Also, it is nice to see that the garlic in this video grows through the mulch in fall, but survives through the Winter. I always felt very uneasy if I saw the signs of my garlic growing through the mulch before the snow arrives. Sometimes we have very harsh winters with temperature -10 degrees F and strong cold winds, so I still will aim for the young garlic shoots to stay under the mulch when the snows comes. lastly, really appreciate attention to the detail, and being thorough. Devil is in the detail, sometimes little things make all the difference.

Bob Ross vibes and I’m here for it

I have been growing garlic for almost 3 decades - and family grows it commercially. For hard neck varieties you want to remove the scapes when they complete their first curl. The developing seed takes energy from the bulb. I did a comparison one year and the bulbs were 30% smaller when the scape was allowed to develop into seed. Perhaps this is a regional thing, but we harvest garlic when the lower two leaves are dying. Long before when you did. At that time, the bulb is no longer developing and the paper wraps will disintegrate in the soil - leaving less protection during storage.

Dianne B: thanks for your comment! This was my first season growing garlic. I was thrilled that of the 25 cloves I planted I got 25 heads! I watched the plants like a hawk, trying to make sure I harvested at the right time. I picked a couple too soon (paper hadn’t developed fully) and a couple too late (paper starting to disintegrate). Of course, they made their way into the kitchen but I could definitely see how important it was to get it out at the right time so it would store the best. I’m Zone 5B and the ones that turned out just right were dug when there were 3-4 dead lower leaves. I’d also read to cut the scapes when small, which I did. It makes sense that leaving them to grow will affect the size of the heads. I’m excited to be able to plant some of the cloves from my larger heads and have another crop next summer!

You're the best Gardener Scott! What would we do without you?

Never thought about writing on the bulbs! Brilliant!

I also leave my stalks about 4 inches this prevents any air getting to the bulb when storing. Also I dry in a well ventilated garage for about 2 weeks. I live near a garlic farmer and he has shelves with screen in his garage filled with drying garlic during harvest season.

You said to let them dry for a couple of days and then cut off the stalks and clean them. You mentioned later that they'll store well for two to three months so you can replant, and I assume they'll also store much longer for those you take to the kitchen. If you leave the stalks on and let them cure for three or four weeks the garlic will store for maximum length of time. You'll be eating garlic anywhere from 6 to 10 months after harvest depending on the variety.

They will last for months longer. Soft neck varieties will last longer than hard neck.

I just watched this again as a refresher and I can’t believe how much has changed in your garden over the last few years! These videos are great time capsules. Thank you for all of the great detailed information!

Hang it up in bunches with the stalks on for a couple weeks until it's completely dry. Then cut the stalks off. It stores longer if completely dry before cutting the stalks off.

THANK YOU, Gardner Scott for one of the most complete & comprehensive one-view GARLIC videos on You Tube. As a USA Zone 13 / AZ Desert Southwest Gardner I face a few challenges you did not address. I think some of your viewers that face some of the same challenges as I do might want to consider a few GARLIC WARM WEATHER TIPS ..... SUCH AS .... delay planting until the soil temps drop below 90 degrees .... try Vernalization (put the bulb(s) in a paper bag and leave them in the refrigerator for +30 days before planting) .... briefly pre-soak the bulbs in 10% bleach / water solution to kill mites .... plant the cloves deeper (up to 6 inches) to facilitate lower soil temps / a longer growing cycle .... re-mulch as the spring temps begin to rise and warms the soil (to keep soil temps down & lengthen the bulbs growing period) shortening the bulb production .... some of the soft neck varieties grow better in warmer climates (Thermadrone, Lorz Italian, Silverskin, etc.) and some of the hard neck varieties also do well in warm climates (Siberian, Georgian Crystal, Romanian Red, etc.). Thanks again. :)

I grew garlic in 3 gallon buckets with 4" spacing, 7 per bucket, and they got root bound and grew small bulbs. A 5 gallon is going to have more root room, but a 6" spacing is probably still necessary, which would make it 3-4 plants per bucket.

Hello and thank you from North East England. I'll be planting my garlic today. White Casablanca and solent white. I've never grown garlic before and I will be planting in containers. 50 years old and my gardening life starts now. Thank you again.

Excellent education on garlic growing. No other video gave such comprehensive info.

The best “how to grow garlic” video ever👍🏻👍🏻

I planted my garlic last fall, following pretty similar methods if not exactly, and found this as I'm starting to consider what to look for this summer when we harvest them. Really great resource for reviewing all the nuances at every stage. Well explained, well spoken, and well edited in the logical order of questions I've had along the way.

Thank you. I should've watched this before planting mine.

Time to plant the garlic!!❤️

Thanks Gardener Scott. You're the best!

I just think these garlic flowers on these long stems look so cool. 😄

a good way to separate your garlic cloves.tap the stem on a flat surface you should hear a snap.your garlic is separated from the stem.less injury to the garlic cloves.

What an excellent video on garlic. Thank you gardener Scott!

Excellent garlic growing guide!

Great video as always.

So very clear and always so helpful

So much information. Thank you so much

This was so helpful! I learned so much. I had a random thought of wanting to grow my own garlic, did a search and your video popped up, and now I’m very excited to start when the time is right!

Clear explanation and crop description. By the look of things, you don’t need hectares of land to grow garlic and other crops unless you’ll want to go commercial. I am impressed.

Hello Gardner Scott 👋 Thank You for helping us 🙏

Fantastic video! So clear and easy- thank you!

This mad me happy.

Helpful video, thanks!

Thank you again Gardener Scott! Here for a refresher! My containers have been amended, sat for at least a month, got my garlic and the planting day is today!Blessings

Hi G.S. Thanks for the video. I have a suggestion for something fun you can do with your grandkids and garlic. Don't cut the stems, but keep them long and braid them together to form a garlic braid. Then you can hang the garlic braid up in your kitchen (it lasts several months) and re-plant the garlic when you're ready. It doesn't take up any space in your basement and looks great in your kitchen. You can even unbraid the garlic one at a time to use it in your cooking. It's something that's a lot of fun to do with young kids.

thank you for this! i took notes and i’m ready to plant for the first time in october!

Go through your garlic patch and pull half the scapes and leave the other half for each variety. You will be surprised the difference it makes in the yield from each at the end of the year Scott. Putting all that energy into the scape reduces the size of the bulb you will end up with and the amount of cloves per bulb I found as well.

You're excellent at what you do. I watched several garlic videos but I actually enjoyed learning from this one! Great work...Thanks

Thanks again for another great video. I love to see the full cycle. I've never grown garlic, but I am ordering some today.

I bought 4 seed bulbs last year and got 28 bulbs out of them. I saved several,and planted them again. I cut all but one of my scapes(I used some fresh, and dehydrated and ground others into a green garlic powder). It's interesting how they are just small cloves that can fall off and replant( I planted them to saw how they do.). I planted 4 times the amount I did last time. I smoked some of my garlic, then dehydrated and ground it. The smoked garlic powder is really good on burgers.

As always fantastic! You answered all my questions and more. BTW I just received the garlic you recommended and will be following your advice to the letter!! Thank you and much appreciated!!

Great video.

I have had my garlic bulbs for about a month waiting for the right time. I am zone 5 also, so now is the time. Yay🎉. Thank you Scott!
