Growing, Harvesting & Curing Garlic
PLANTING (Late Oct-Nov): Plant cloves 4” deep, 6” apart, pointed end up, 2-3 weeks before ground freezes. Add 1” compost layer and 4-6” leaf mulch for winter protection.
SPRING CARE (April): When garlic sprouts, apply compost and water deeply every other morning. Continue monthly composting.
SUMMER (June): Cut curly green scapes at stem center to redirect energy into bulb growth. Scapes are edible!
HARVEST (Late July-Aug): When 3-5 bottom leaves turn brown, carefully dig bulbs 4-5” from stem.
CURING: Air dry bulbs 1-2 days outdoors (protected from rain), then cure in ventilated shelter for 2+ weeks until stems dry. Cut stems 2-3” above the bulb, trim roots, brush off dirt.
STORAGE: Keep in a cool, dry place for up to one year. Save the biggest cloves and use those to replant again.

Thank you for sharing amazing video ❤
Oh, the snowy garden is so beautiful, just like a winter painting!
You can never have too much garlic.
Here it's not cold enough and the garlic cloves seem to sprout soon after planting. Every year I wish I'd planted more.
I love watching your garden so different to my climate.
Thanks for your inspiration ❤
I like how you "strung up" the garlic. Seems it would be much easier than braiding it. Awesome job! Love your garden! 😊
Pesto my number one favourite
Love all your videos!
It took months to make this video. Thank you for sharing.✨

Fantastic! Thanks for sharing. 😊
Your videos are so encouraging! They make me want to work even harder next year. Thank you for sharing😊
Awesome! Last fall I planted garlic for the first time, it was a success.
I really love your "homemade tool" for spacing out the plants!❤ With respect; Would it be okay if I made a copy of it?? Thank you for sharing and for all the hard work you do.
From begging to end. Preparation of the ground, covering for winter and fertilizing. Those are hard neck garlic. The cloves are bigger and they produce that shoot on top. Awesome video, thank you for sharing.
This was So Good. Thank your for the foresight of documenting everything from beginning to end, and all fathers ways to make use of every part of the garlic. So very good! 💯
I used to grow beautiful garlic but with climate change the crop gets decimated by rust and the bulbs are almost non existent. Do you get rust where you are, if so, how do you stop it?
Very good🌿💓🌿💓🌿💓🌿💓
