Chicken Little !!!!!!

In the Netherlands we have a beautiful rule of thumb for garlic 10-10-10-10, meaning plant on the tenth of october 10cm deep and 10cm apart from one another

In a garden so smelly, not far from the town, Grew garlic so strong, it could knock you right down! The gardener was proud, with a grin ear to ear, "Come visit my garlic!" he'd shout far and near. People would come, but they'd quickly retreat, The smell of the garlic knocked them off their feet! But the gardener just laughed, "It's the scent of success!" While munching on garlic, in his garlic-pressed dress. He'd dance through his rows, with a garlic bulb crown, Singing, "Garlic's the king, it will never back down!" His garden grew famous, a smelly delight, Even vampires stayed far, flying off in the night! So here's to the garden, where garlic's the star, So potent and pungent, you could smell it from afar. It might not be roses, but to the gardener's part, The smell of strong garlic was the scent of his heart!

You other brothers can’t deny…

Im in zone 6a. Northeastern PA. Ive tried 3 times with seed garlic and theyve all failed. Last year i stuck a bag of sprouting garlic from sams club in the ground. I got a ton of garlic this past year. Freaking crazy! They were also softneck which is weird to me but it worked. I saved a ton of garlic for planting this year so im hoping these cloves "remember " they were here before and do great again. I left out all of the tiny cloves and only kept the big ones. Im hoping for success again.

​@@kellyanderson-martin814you keep garlic in the fridge?

In northern climates use the rule 10-10-10; 10th of the 10th month with 10 cm (4 inch) apart.

My mom's been struggling with garlic for years now. This year in May she finally accepted a bit of help (I had to be subtle though, I told her to try to use the garlic that was in the fridge) and I put a big amount of compost on them while planting. And not as close as she used to plant them. She was so surprised when this year she finally had garlic in her garden. I wish she could speak English and I could show her this video. I'm visiting her in November and thank you so much for this video, I will plant some garlic for her, so she can have some already planted in the spring. I will definitely give it a try here as well, although my climate tends to be warmer. Great video and tips as always. 😊

Instead of digging a hole and plopping the clove in then covering, I find drilling a long trench, spacing the garlic in it then covering all at once is a quicker and more accurate way of planting them 👍

5a here - Dad grew the same variety of garlic for 20+ years and I still grow it. Late October/Early November is the way to go. Dad always said to wait for that first fall's snow before planting...and even with warmer, drier winters, that advice has served us well. A couple years ago, we didn't plant until the second week of December and we still got a great crop of hardneck.

I have been watching you for years. You have helped me so much with my garden. I am so proud of you and the success that you have all accomplished.

In central Wisconsin, I've had great success with 4" inch spacing between bulbs for the past 10 years. I tried 6" spacing one year and didn't notice a difference, except that my harvest was smaller.

We had our first frost earlier this week so I planted mine yesterday before the rain set in. I have had more rain today than in all of September combined. On a positive note the garlic won’t need to be watered soon (if at all before winter.)

With everything going on in the world - I'm grateful that you're still posting, as happy and cheery as ever. Coming on here to watch your videos is my break from the insanity around us :)

Hope you like it!

I received my soft neck seed garlic this past week and it is absolutely beautiful! Large heads, very healthy looking and packaged nicely. I would highly recommend this seed garlic.

I figured I'd add my 2 cents. I've always grown softneck in the Sacramento valley with great success (especially Inchelium Red), but I personally prefer hardnecks due to the larger sized and ease of separating the cloves, and the flavor. Not to mention you won't usually get a ton of small cloves with every bulb. With that said, I tried Spanish Roja, and to say they produced is an understatement. While they do produce a scape, they do so very late in the season where they don't seem to effect the harvest if you happen to miss cutting them off. I'm on my fourth year now (I always plant on October 10th) and the cloves keep getting bigger and the bulbs more reliable. Amazing variety I hope people in hotter climates will try.

Thank you! I saw a recent video saying to put hard neck in the fridge. I received my hard neck 2 days ago (ordered months ago from Annie's seeds) and put them in the fridge. So glad to see that zones 9 and 10 can plant up until Dec. I thought I possibly missed the boat due to the 8-to-10-week cold requirement. So happy to see that you sell garlic. Will order next time :)

As an Australian it feels so weird when you say "plant it in the coldest months like December". Besides that, great vid

I'm in zone 7a and I'll be planting my garlic in containers again possibly this week. Last year my softneck actually did a bit better than the hardneck.

1. What do you mean by coldest part of the year? Start of winter or peak winter? 2. Can we seperate the Cloves before refrigeration?

Zone 6B here -- great success with hard neck at our place. Planted a LOT more this fall. Trying some soft neck this time, too. We'll see how it grows! Garlic is such a satisfying crop!! Love growing my own. Great vid!!! Thank you!

That’s it. I’m trying garlic. The timing is PERFECT! Thanks Kevin!

I've tried planting garlic many times with varied success. I like the tip about cooling the bulbs before planting and will try it. It is similar to the recommendation when planting tulip bulbs and makes a lot of sense. Thank you for the useful information you provide.

I love all your videos, the homestead, main channel, and Jacque's as well. I have been watching for a few years, and you were my inspiration to start my own gardening channel.

Thank you for this video....I lost approximately 100 bulbs last season to orange spotted rust as well. We had so much rain. I didn't know that hardnecks could be placed in the fridge prior to planting. Thank you from a fellow gardener in Riverside.

I'm a newer subscriber, and I've loved your channel since I started watching it! Amazing job on all of your videos! I look foward to seeing more!

This is exactly the type of videos I like! Explained it all in detail yet quick!

Kevin - this is a great video! I can’t tell you how much I appreciate major companies specifying growing for zones 9 & 10. Zone 10 is often left out as we usually require extra or different steps/instructions to grow things that we otherwise couldn’t.

Great tips. I've been growing garlic for some time and like yourself grew Music and several others. My go to garlic now is Red Roja. We just like the flavor. I might add I also soak my garlic before planting. Alcohol for about 5-10 min then liquid kelp or fish emulsion over night. Thought I might share this with you and your viewers as some of the largest garlic growers also soak their cloves. A Google search will bring up links and specifics. I usually grow around 100 plants every year. We dehydrate lots of it and give away small jars of garlic powder as gifts. 😊

Thanks for this video. I'm planning on growing for green garlic. I did it once by accident and it was the only garlic that was actually usable since all the others I planted in the garden died. The green garlic was a last ditch planting, in a pot, because I ran out of room in the garden.

Perfect timing because I was going to put it in the freezer for spring planting since I will miss the fall planting. Thanks and take care.

I actually just planted my garlic today as well. Store bought last year and regrowing them from now on.

Thanks man. Here in the north of spain, border with france and high mountains with freezing temperatures and snowfalls, i plant garlic in febrary. This november i will try garlic sooner.

I'm an old guy who lived in many countries. The small heads of garlic that we used to have were so much stronger than these big Asian garlics that have won the hearts of garlic haters. They love them because they don't taste like garlic any more. If I was to guess I would say a half a clove of what we used to call garlic has more flavour than a whole head of this big crap. Call me a liar if you wish.

You're a very good teacher. It's one thing I like most about your channel. You explain why not just how. 🙂

Dang, I must've gotten really lucky when I planted garlic in my backyard - I sort of just barely pushed some bulbs (from the grocery store) into the dirt and walked away. Now, ten years later, it has spread along my fence line and grows prolifically every year. Must be hundreds of plants out there now, but I typically trim off about 1/3 of the garlic scapes, and pull up even fewer bulbs. I also planted wild garlic the same way in a different spot - and the same thing happened with those. Been thinking of digging it all up and planting in a raised bed to better control things, so this video helps.

Thank you very much, the timing was my issue that i had wanted to know long ago.

@FloLum very good information about growing & choosing garlic 😊😊 Think I'm going to try this year

I plant my garlic (hard neck) in the 1st week of November, I am in Zone 6b in Massachusetts. The result have been great since i started planting them 3 years ago. This year I plant some store bought garlic for the first time. I will see how well those do compare to my own.

Thank you, Kevin! I received my garlic yesterday. I'll get my garlic in the bed this week. I'll have to order a bag of the straw. Hopefully, I'll have lots of garlic this time.

I will plant cloves that are looking ready to sprout any time up to early spring. I just tuck them into an available space. Sometimes I just get green garlic tops but quite often they form a small but useable bulb.

Definitely going to try and grow some hardneck garlic. I'm in NYC so I guess I can put some in a 5-gallon grow bag and place it in the corner of my fire escape this winter.🤔

Definitely dope to know you are out of Day-Go bro!! #CaliGrown I'm in L.A (Grow Zone 10b), so I'm not too far from you. It helps to know that I can grow this size garlic in Cali, as well as Dragon Fruit. I grew my first dragon fruit tree using your techniques and I was worried about winterizing the Dragon plants. No need at all 😊🙏🏾 I just threw black wood chips on the surface to keep the soil warmer and that did my tree justice 💪🏾 Thanks bro.

Mysic is the best! I find that growing garlic is incredibly easy. Set it & forget it. But harvesting & curing takes some space & wisdom.

Great video Garrick!

Perfect timing for the video. Except for last year I've always had success with my hard neck here in Quebec. This year is so different with the weather. I've prepared the bed but waiting to plant. I was going to put in a raised bed but read many places saying that the garlic needs to be planted directly in the ground in colder climates 🤷‍♀️I'm so confused lol
