I plant my garlic in the ground . It’s been so warm here in northern New Jersey that I’ve been getting more growth than as I’d like. I grow both soft and hard necks . The hard necks seem to do a little better. As far as refrigerating them I say as long as they don’t end up in spaghetti sauce you should be ok!
I let my peppers bush out quite a bit at the end of the season and I’m able to over winter them in the open. The outer stems and leaves get killed by frost but they usually shelter the inner plant. I just cut them back mid March. I’m in 9B climate in NorCal.
I just planted my garlic yesterday. I didn't know it would take so long to harvest. June seems like a long way off. Guess I'll need to be patient. Thanks for the tips
I'm in NC 7b. I planted some garlic at the beginning of October in my raised beds and they're currently about 6-8" tall. Hubby wants to take down the raised beds now (I'll be building my permanent garden soon but thought these beds would stay put until spring). Can I move the sprouted cloves to grow bags? I would leave them there until harvest time rather than transplant them a second time.
(9aLouisianaCoast)2?s what size bag did you use and in raised bed I’m planning on going down side of bed like you did , have my fall plants in bed now I can usually plant a early spring garden in January or February. Will the garlic be ok during the transition. Should I do anything different TIA
I have elephant garlic (yeah, I know.. closer to a leek) ready to go in when we quit going into the 80s. I have a bed I've been prepping for months.. dumped in two big bags of peat moss.. tilled it in.. and just kept putting grass clippings over it. Last week I went to check on it.. seems my ground ate all the organic matter.. there's no evidence that any peat moss went in at all.. and that was in June. I did a soil test.. low in everything but the PH.. that's a little high… so weird with all the grass clippings lurking around. I may have to put grow bags or pots on that bed. sigh
Thanks for the content!! I was needing this. I bought some giant garlic and have been procrastinating because I was unsure of the process. I have grown a garden all my life but never have grown garlic.
Easiest way to grow garlic is around your fruit trees or garden perimeter. Their sulfur content roots in the soil and the smell chases away slugs, snails, flies, etc keeping the fruit trees and garden vegs/herbs safe.
Just in time, I'm planting garlic tomorrow. I'd love to know more about planting another crop on top of it like the lettuce you suggested. I didn't know that was possible!
Zone 5 here- i planted most of my Siberian red last month in my raised bed. I'm just putting it around the edges of the beds so it doesn't conflict Thanks for the awesome video.
Still pretty hot here in Southwest Florida gonna wait probably another three weeks. I am trying the refrigerator method this time lol. Also do you remove the skin around each clove or do you leave them scanned?
Much more wins today, oh my God, I'm really happy for today with mr Meir. 🤭 I finally got my profit of $36000 on this crypto investment after feeling so escatic and heavy minded that nothing good can come out of it
Good timing !! I have just got my organic garlic bulbs so I was glad of a reminder what to do! I got rust on mine last year but it was very humid here during the summer and cloudy do you think that was why I got rust? Thanks Brian love your videos so easy to follow packed with helpful tips! ☘️ ☘️☘️☘️
How high should the containers be? Or if i set up a quick raised bed with cardboard beneath, how tall the sides? This new property has moles & voles, should I use hardware cloth beneath the raised beds? Topped off with cardboard then soil? Also, thanks so much for your videos. ❤
May I ask what part of the U.S you are from. I'm from Florida and I'm trying so hard to learn how to grown veges, flowers, trees, etc. I know Florida is different because of the climate, this is why I'm asking. It sounds like you may live in the south?? Update: I think I saw you may be from Cali, not sure if you guys have the 150% humidity like we do…lol….I look forward to watching more videos. Thank you so much for taking the time, maybe when I grow up I'll be as good of a gardener as you 😊
I'm in Alabama, zone 7B. I'm going to be planting soft neck garlic in about two weeks, in a 30 gallon grow bag. Along with them, I am going to plant radishes. The Giant Radishes of Sicily are growing the best for me, and producing bulbs the fastest,. I will be planting more of them, along with French Breakfast radishes.
Planted garlic in containers last weekend for the first time. They’re actually growing!!! Question – can you give them too much water especially at the start? I live in Wales UK and we get a lot of rain ☔️. I’ve got a balcony I can put the containers under if I need to get them away from too much rain. Thanks
I have not checked the ground to see if it's frozen hard yet, but we have had multiple hard freeze temps… 6-9 hrs per night of 32°F or below. My question: If I plant them in a large container, do I need to do anything special if the soil freezes in the pot?
I am in zone 5b, nights are freezing, and day temps are 50's to high 60's, with a sprinkling of low 70's in the forecast.
Great video! I tried to grow garlic last year and it was a fail. Looks like the bulbs disintegrated. I wasnt sure how often I would need to water. Does anyone know?
I planted all my garlic today. Elephant, German Extra Hardy, Siberian Red and experimenting with some different organic store bought. About 100 in total. My wife tells me I planted way too many garlic and she needs more onions than garlic. I'm trying to over winter some onions, to get a head start. Hoping to surprise her with an early onion harvest. Virginia, zone 7A.
I also live in your area (I'm in San Diego) and am planting garlic for the first time this year. Wondering how often we should be watering during the winter for garlic planted in the ground. I will be adding a layer of pine shavings over top once they are planted to help retain moisture.
Also, very interesting the results you found with refrigeration. I already have all mine in the frig but next year will definitely do a trial of some without that step. Sure makes planting a bit more flexible. Thanks for all your helpful info. I have learned so much from you over the years.

What about planting the small garlic cloves to use as garlic scallions?
How often do you water container garlic through the winter?
Love garlic for cooking. Thanks so much for this 😊

This is weird. Not the video but the views. It says no one has viewed it but it is obvious by the comments that it has been.
Going to try container garlic in Indiana 🎃

I live in Kansas. Can I do March-October? This might be a dumb question but won't they freeze over the winter especially when you water? 😋
I think a healthy 2" mulch layer on top is an important step for garlic (organic straw or shredded leaves)
I planted two different garlics last month and they started sprouting.
Thanks I was going to buy a fabric pot. They are not available. How much were they? I always love your videos. My ' go to guy'.. to learn from.

I hope I’ve learned something. Just got my raised beds finished and filled. Not to plant the garlic. I’ll let you know how it goes!😃

Thank you- my last garlic got drowned in pots, will try raised bed this season (almost done- 1 down, 3 to go!).. 🙏🏻💪🙏🏻
awesome thanks Brian!!
Great Video, thanks. I have some one meter long and 24 cm deep window boxes, is that deep enough to plant garlic in ?

Love the garlic but I never had scapes! wtf is my life?! 😅😅
I always learn something. Thanks for all your videos ❤️
Can you use blood and bone meal instead?
How did a container can one use to plant garlic?
I really needed this, thanks so much!!

I am doing an experiment I am starting my cloves in perlite and once I see good roots Then I’ll move them to containers
Great video! I tried to grow garlic last year and it was a fail. Looks like the bulbs disintegrated. I wasnt sure how often I would need to water. Does anyone know?
Perfect timing my friend!! I'm getting ready to plant some today! I'm going to follow your instructions and see what happens in June! Woo hoo!
I love garlic first time growing garlic I n end September thanks for all tips😍😍😍
2:19 How did you manage to put the garlic in the fridge accidentally (without noticing)?
I planted all my garlic today. Elephant, German Extra Hardy, Siberian Red and experimenting with some different organic store bought. About 100 in total.

Just planted my garlic. Both in containers and in raised beds. I’m in Louisiana and usually plant in the Fall
Thank you! Planting this week! 🧄👌

I would give everything else as long as I can grow garlic
What is this Neptune Harvest stuff and how do I buy some? Are they your sponsor? I am in the southern Sierras of California.
