This has been an exciting week! Garlic harvest was Sunday, and ours looked a lot like yours! I planted hardneck and softneck all together last October after digging up our sweet potatoes. They went in double rows at 4" spacing, with 18" between each double row. Put a cover crop of peas, oats and mustard over top with another inch of compost over. It all grew nicely until January, when the freeze killed the cover crop. Put some shredded leaves over top and waited for early spring. Then it was only a few shots of compost tea while it was growing, and we got our best harvest yet! I was as shocked as you were when I started pulling up these monsters! Now sweet potato slips are back in the bed and looking forward to October again. 😊
Its possible to craft a garlic digger. Basically a flat horizontal blade attached to a pto that goes under the heads to loosen them up and make it easy to pull. If youre doing acres of garlic it is worth it. That a d a garlic planter
Your enthusiasm is awesome!
I'm so jealous! Life goals for sure!
We had a drought, like not even an inch of rain all June, so we'll see if my garlic kept growing
this is so fun! I feel like I'm pulling them out too
I love your joy, Luke! Garlic makes me happy too.
Nice harvest
In zone 6b, is it too early to plant garlic?
Good job my boy ❤❤❤
Those are great-looking bulbs! My harvest date is tomorrow, with three varieties and some French grey shallots.
What time of year did you plant this garlic? If in fall, do you cover it during winter or just leave it be?
Pulling garlic while watering them? Very unethical. 🙂 I'll look forward to hear how things are going in a month. Probably great!
I got the biggest garlic this year ever. Yours looks like mine. I was surprised.
I make some of mine into black garlic and dry some for black garlic powder so good
Congrats !!! 😂😂😂
That IS a Great garlic harvest, lol…
❤❤
I harvested mine this morning. First year for me so I am just hoping I did things correctly. Aside from the elephant garlic, I got the others from you. German is the one that did the best followed by Ivan. Music did poorly, very small bulb but it still looks pretty. Hopefully I can keep a couple of the German and Ivan and replant them this Fall.
Great haul. Mine came out last month.
Great harvest. I find that by digging them out the bulbs don't break off.
Mine is almost ready! Maybe another week!
Love the infectious excitement. Can't wait to see if my garlic harvest is just as tremendous!
Awesome!
It's better to use a garden fork to gently lift up the entire plant than to just pull on it. Use the fork, Luke!
So I normally let my garlic die back a little more than this and let the top half of the plant die completely back, but after seeing these results, I might be going out and harvesting my crop this afternoon. I agree it was a great year for garlic. Once it warmed up, it stayed warm and wet and some of my stems are the thickest I have ever seen.
WOW! lucky you!!!
As soon as I saw this, I went and harvested mine because it looked just like yours, mine too is the best crop I’ve ever had! Crazy awesome growing season.
Pulled mine today and my German garlic all were as big as your biggest one you showed. All thanks to trifecta +
Love your enthusiasm! Will you sell small quantities for growing in the fall?
These are beautiful
Love your reaction to your garlic crop! I wasn't disappointed with mine but would of been more ecstatic if my garlic was bigger, like yours…lol
We harvested our garlic yesterday, got 95 heads. Some didn't separate into cloves so I'm thinking I have some that grew from corms (just looked and planted 78 cloves so yes, some is from corms). We replant from our own garlic each Oct, and only grow elephant garlic.
Harvested half of mine. Waiting for the other half to be ready. Still watering some, waiting for others to have more brown leaves before pulling. Love hearing your excitement.
I just pulled my garlic and had the same experience. All the garlic were big and healthy. I pulled 75 garlic heads these past few weeks in total. So fun! And great for all my cooking dishes.
Luke, your enthusiasm is so awesome! Thank you so much for sharing your fanastic gardening tips, advise and knowhow. My veggie gardening has been taken to a whole new level thanks to you!
I am so disappointed in my first try at garlic.😢 I planted in October, it began to show signs of life as you said, tall green stalks formed, I waited for the tops to curl, it's now late June almost July. I gently pulled up one expecting a surprise like Christmas. Alas the little bulb at the end looked like a little green onion bulb. I am so sad….
I looked at my garlic tops and they don't look quite ready yet. I'll wait another week or so before digging it up. …can hardly wait! We're nearly out of garlic in our kitchen.
Northern IL/southern WI has been 3 weeks ahead on everything this year. So weird. Wonder what's going to be happening by October.
Luke do you still have your coffee tree? and is it still producing coffee beans?😊
I live in Rochester NY and I noticed my garlic looks ready now. I normally harvest after 4th of July but I'm doing it tomorrow. You the man Luke!
Pure joy came through.
