I`m building healthy, rich soil in my garden and avoiding pesticides and an infestation of black worms wiped out my green onions and garlic. They ate almost everything growing in my yard. I replanted again but they return each spring/summer in Louisiana.
Thank you! ❤❤
I am in North Carolina growing my whole garden in fabric bags. I recently got my garlic in September that I ordered online from MIGARDENER and TERRITORIAL SEED. It is in my refrigerator waiting for late November. I love your channel. Our climates are similar. I am in the new zone of 8a. I used to be in 7b. Take care and thanks for your awesome channel. 💜💜💜
I planted mine over the weekend! 👍🏾👍🏾
I plant mine on Halloween, third year for the same starter garlic and the heads get bigger every year it seems.
I grow garlic 🧄 in pot too the result during harvest only tube not clove , don’t know why ?
I just harvested my sweet potatoes today and prepared the grow bags for garlic to put in their place. I use a lot of garlic and I ordered different kinds to see which ones will do best. I have one soft neck that I’ll wait to plant in the spring. I’m in Chicago. The last two years my garlic disappeared. I even had the bags mulched and covered with wire. I put the bags on top of a table this time and will still cover. I’m planting them tomorrow. Ty 😊
I'm seeing green shoots only a few days after I planted cloves, not weeks.
I will be planting our softneck garlic on October 23rd.
I was finally able to grow and harvest garlic this year in containers. 😊
Yes CaliKim,I already planted mine up a couple of days ago. I just constructed and prepared my raised beds, filling them with old branches, garden soil and compost as you and Camera Guy did. I also planted some in my borders so hopefully they might deter the slugs, We have had a lot of rain here in the UK and they have been a real problem. Love the Channel. Already subscribed and like every video.👍🏻
Thank you, Kim for all this great advice as you know I'm an avid follower and have learned so much from you! I recently went to a local nursery with a friend and bought several hard neck varieties since we are out here in zone 7B middle Tennessee with cold winters. I've got them in the refrigerator right now and waiting to plant them over the next week. Hopefully all will go well! Thank you for all you do and share!
Hi sweet Mac! Such a good boy just sitting in the background on this video. Love! Your friend Cash says hello!
I hope mine work this yr. Laat yr i watched a YouTuber that said ro Soak in bakinh soda humic acid for an hour. I planted in a olblong fabic container. Compost, mulch. Then put chicken wire so the squirrels didnt get to them. By july nothing. Dug a little & nothing. Guess they were composted.
MAC sighting! I'm growin garlic 15 miles southwest of Gilroy. I learned that containers, specifically aerated SmartPots are the best. I have Music softneck & a Korean Red from MIGardener. But I can always goto the market & buy an organic Christopher Ranch Gilroy bulb! Garlic Mediterranean with so many health benefits! 🧄
We have our garlic ready to go, but I'm waiting a couple of weeks before we plant it out. We're in middle Tennessee where we're officially now zone 7B (ages ago, we were zone 6B here). We'll be planting out hardneck garlic, although we're going to play around with some softneck after the first of the year.
As usual, Perfect video timing!
Time has really slipped by this year, so I’m going to plant garlic this weekend- since the first frost is forecast for Tuesday or Wednesday of next week. Even though it’ll be the first frost, our weather should warm up again after that, like it usually does every year here in Columbus Ohio.
Planting lots of different varieties, and most will be in grow bags. Properly labeled this year of course. 😏
