Great videos. I haven’t grown garlic yet but I’m wanting to give it a go.
Can you do the same with onions?
When do you fertilize them and what did you use?
I love growing garlic! Can’t wait for harvest time! I have some scapes in the fridge to use!
My garlic harvest was ready earlier than usual this year. I’ve been adding new varieties over the years and I ordered German Extra Hardy from you for this year, and wow- the heads are HUGE! Bigger than my palm!
Thank You for those awesome tips. The way you explained why, makes sense.
I love garlic.
I like to grate Garlic, Ginger and Tumeric into my plain Yoghurt. I try to eat them every day. Still learning to grow things. Great to learn from people like you.

Just the information I needed on growing and harvesting garlic! Thank you!
I want Egyptian onions but don’t know where to find it
Learned the hard way:
Garlic goes in at the same time that squirrels are working overtime – screen covers/wire wastepaper baskets from the dollar store work great to get them through to grow-time.
I planted soft neck last fall and hey all started to grow then was killed by he winer and never returned, im gonna try hard neck nxt yr
@MIGardener,did you almost said-"Be A Plant Person" a borrowed slogan from Justin Lane of S& K Garden channel,ha?.
Okay, don’t tell me to plant in fall please as I’ve done that twice and twice it was a disaster, where this has worked every year..
I plant my garlic spring and harvest right before the first solid frost.. this way I get garlic, of course those are as big as fall to july , instead may-october in alberta, Canada
I'm in the South of Virginia and we are zone 8a/7b… so our winters are typically mild. I plant out garlic in November. This past November I experimented growing my garlic in fabric grow bags and I DO NOT RECOMMEND this for other gardeners. The bags did not retain the moisture as needed and I got a very puny harvest. The ones planted in my raised beds (which are a lot more "earthy") were normal sized. I'm certain it wasn't the variety I used… it was a mix of soft and hard neck garlics. Raised beds did well, fabric grow bags did not. I didn't understand why until just now. Thank you, Luke!

Thank you This is great help. Bless you
All my elephant garlic turned into mono bulbs my other garlic was perfect I cut all the scapes at 6 inched what happened
Pickled garlic scapes are delicious – pick your favorite pickling recipe and try it.
They have a crunch like a fresh green bean with the tanginess of a pickle.
All my garlic came up that I bought from you except my German. I planted last fall.😢 My soft neck garlic falling over but apparently not ready to harvest. Garlic very small and has ac part forming it appears to be a scape or flower coming. What would be up with it?
Just harvested about half of mine. Can't wait until it cures! This is one crop I'm not worried about using up. Will try to plant more next year!
Love scapes! Make garlic pesto, garlic butter and garlic and chive cream cheese spread with my scapes. Plus freeze for later on!
Hi Luke! I planted hardneck and cut the scapes this week. They are delicious! For the softneck I planted, they seem ready to pull already but I'm trying to wait until we have a couple days with no rain in SE MI.
Love the scapes! We just pulled our garlic this weekend. Very happy with the yield. I planted double rows at 4-6", with 18" between each double row. Threw a cover crop of peas, oats and mustard over top and added a little compost. Then once the cover died in January, threw some shredded leaves over top and let it do it's thing. Fed it a few times with compost tea while it was growing on. We got a few smallish heads, but overall I was shocked at the size of the heads, both softneck and hardneck. Can't wait to see the total weight once curing is finished. (Zone 8b Willamette Valley, OR)
