I'm so happy to find you! I live in Zone 4 MN. I've had trouble finding Zone 3/4 KZfaq gardeners. Thank you, thank you

I also live in Minnesota zone 3. It's so nice to have someone with gardening skills to learn from in my own zone! So awesome! 😊

I've had amazing luck using organic garlic from the store. I've never had any not sprout though I have gotten a few smaller ones. Most likely that could be my lack of nutrients as I didn't know until last year how heavy they feed. So, for anyone wanting to try grocery store garlic, give organic a go!

You have such a beautiful personality 💖 Thank you for teaching us how to plant garlic!!

Thank you for the video. I picked up a few tips. I am so looking forward to your upcoming videos.

Thanks for a great video. I am in Michigan and planted on Sunday. My first time planting garlic and after watching your video, it looks like I avoided the mistakes you pointed out! Crossing my fingers for lots of garlic in July!

Thank you for the great overview. First time finding your channel! This was very helpful as I am just getting ready to plant garlic for the first time.

Thank you! Absolutely loved the tip about the 6" cardboard spacer 😁

Wooo that is a lot of property. 240 acres. I am so jealous. 😊❤

Excellent presentation! Natural teacher!! 👏👏👏

Zone 6 here and it’s the first year I’ve planted garlic, but I think I’ve successfully avoided all these mistakes 🙌 we have a huge pile of well-rotted leaves, so I used that as mulch.

Thanks for the information. I did my first round of garlic this last year. I am looking to improve! I just started a channel and have my results from there. This has helped greatly! I did do the grocery store garlic. It did come up but not the greatest... I love the music garlic as well! Thanks for sharing! you got yet another subscriber!

In Florida I am far away from you but really enjoyed your presentation and looking at your garden.... well done --- kudos

Very timely! I just planted my garlic! This was a good check to see that I didn't miss anything. Year 2 of garlic, and I am in Zone 6B/7a

Thanks for the thorough explanation!

Thanks for the tips to help people grow garlic. I started growing garlic 4 years ago. I started with 5 seed bulbs I got from the local garlic festival. I planted twenty seeds from that. I don't mulch because I live in western Wa. and our winters are mild. Last years harvest 4 years later produced over 200 heads that is maxing my garden space out. So I'm giving it away to friends and acquaintances to plant(my family are garlic nuts already)And I dehydrate all but 200 seed and thirty or so heads that I keep to cook with. Im looking for. I love garlic. I settled on music and elephant as my varieties and my siblings grow other variety's and we share. What satisfying crop to grow. So my favorite august meal is a thin sliced Cherokee purple tomato with a thin slice of local havarti on a thin slice of homemade bread. Broiled and then topped with an thick layer razor thin slices of garlic. No salt or pepper needed. It's a flavor bomb in your mouth. At 68 I feel like a kid every summer harvest. Gardening is a lot lot of work but the reward is beyond words. I think garlic can save the world one bulb at a time.

This is an excellent video. I have been growing about 160 heads of the same strain of garlic for over 15 years. I think you hit the nail on the head. This is pretty much exactly how I do it. I live in Sedona AZ at 4500 feet, plant the first week of Oct. and harvest around July 1st every year. I like your advice about using the largest heads and the largest cloves. I pick the very best 16 heads every year and plant the largest cloves. These are big garlic so I can get 10 good cloves for planting per head. The first shoots appear about 17 days from planting and some will still be breaking the ground in February (our ground doesn't freeze much). Anyway, very nice job!

Great tips 👌 😊❤

So cool anf clear thsnks

Oh man good info!!! I have been planting garlic only for a few years but gardening for well over 40! So weird it took me so long to figure that I could do that! I LOVE your idea on the cardboard! I refuse to buy one of those spacer things for gardening....I would misplace it, or it would crack....cardboard is my best buddy in my garden, always stocked up on that! Great idea! Music garlic is my favorite too! Interesting link to a source in VT; love Vermont!! But I already have mine sitting here to go in....actually I just can't seem to get ahead of not buying garlic for planting.....I just can't stand the thought of running out of garlic before harvest the next year, I continue to plant more and more....as always I say this year I will plant enough :) We'll see...or next will come again and I will say "Ope", guess not ;) Love your content! Love that your from MN too!!! It is helpful to me. OH hey tip for you on those corn stocks!! Now I realize this won't work for everyone. But I purposely planted my sweet corn in my chicken run and moved all my layers out to fresh grasses and a shaw to move around for the spring, summer and fall yet. So when my sweet corn was all harvested, I put my new layers back in the run and they were in HEAVEN!!!! They scratched up any weeds , pecked all the leaves they could reach on the stalks. Once they were done with their work, I moved them out again and I proceeded to "step/knock" the stalks over using my foot and they snapped off at the ground which was exactly what I wanted to leave that behind to compost away under the soil. And I fed the stalks to our grass fed steers....what a treat! They loved them!

What engine is that,lol Lady you got some energy 😅 I like what your doing & appreciate how you promoting everything to help others & that's why I chosen to follow you.

Lol dainty little lady hands! That’s me also, my mother always said I had working hands!

Wow. I wish I could clear my garden that fast. lol.

Thank you 🙏🏻

Good information and video. I have planted garlic for many years but just got serious about good techniques and few years ago and now get fantastic garlic. One thing I have been working on and trying to figure out is garlic growing up as doubles when I carefully separate the cloves. I discovered that some larger cloves are actually double and require a little more separation. I noticed one of the cloves you had in your hand was one of those doubles. Another problem comes up when you separate these is there is not much paper covering left. I am still figuring this out. Thanks for your advice though.

Really I feel so dumb I have been replanting the every spring . I always thought that they froze out every winter. Thanks so much

Great tip using a 6 inch square of cardboard.

A little time saver I use is to lay down concrete wire mesh which has 6” squares then use a dibber to make all my holes.

I'll be planting grocery store garlic tomorrow. Otherwise, I'll be following your tips. Thank you! (I neglected to mulch the surface of my garden, this year, and the plants were SOOOO thirsty!)

For the cover i use the last lawn clipping. One inch

Brilliant

I use concrete reinforcing mesh wire about 6"x6" square grid....Just lay it on the ground and one bulb per square in the center of course. I also use the mesh for trellises...... Good luck from Central Europe! Dobre chut!

Nice

I just planted my first try at garlic yesterday. I may have it too closely planted, and I don't have compost or mulch at the moment and I bought the garlic at the organic co-op in town. But, after all that, I hope I did OK.

I’m in south central Wisconsin. I decided to plant this spring to see what would happen. I just harvested and the bulbs are just like an onion! No cloves!

Your dog is wearing a coat. hahahaha love it

Good tips but you failed to mention one important tip. You did say to select cloves from the largest bulbs which is correct, however, only plant the largest cloves from those bulbs. When you broke open the Music I saw 1 small clove and that should not be planted. BTW, I have planted cloves where the paper was missing on 1 side without any issues. Music is good and very large but I found that the Rocambole varieties are more flavorful though they don't store as long as the Porcelains. Try Russian Red.

I planted mine in the greenhouse a few weeks ago so they have already sprouted so not sure if that’s okay. Also how do you stop the mulch from flying away?

How do you store the garlic for next season.

Do you fertilize the garlic over winter or in early spring? I did all of what you recommend last October and by late February or early March, I only found a couple of 1 inch sprouts after filling a 4 x 8 raised bed with garlic cloves, also of the Music variety. I also found a lot of white mold in between the straw and the dirt. I thought it was just the normal breaking down of organic matter. But was it? I have no garlic. None. What could that have been and could it have killed my garlic? If so, what should I do about it now?

You actually can plant the cloves that had some of the skin removed. They still grow just fine. I normal plant them anyway and have a pretty good success rate. But, like all things gardening, go with what you prefer, and have fun with it!

Good video do you plant all the cloves from the big bulbs even the small ones.

I have garlic that are suppose to be for cooking use but when I open the jar where I stored them their roots are coming out and some of them sprouting. Can I burry them in soil now. I know it is January and I’ve been reading you should start planting them in September.

Now in January, I obviously have to wait until next fall to try, but would I have to make any alterations for my "garden" being in containers? I'm just north of the twin cities, and so far, my best luck has been potatoes, and tomatoes.

This year I planted a bunch of garlic with the skin missing at some spots to see if it’s true that they will rot so what I do when I plant garlic is to soak them in bamboo wood vinegar and fish hydrolysate for a few hours then I make a deep 3inch hole fill it with two year aged compost and place my garlic into the compost and to my surprise the garlic cloves that had skin missing have a ton of fresh white roots I’m going to see if they all come up if they do I won’t worry about the skin missing on them my thinking is the compost is suppressing and fungal or bacteria infection and the wood vinegar is a deterrent as well

Hi, this is a nice vlog!! I'm in 5b NE IL. I will be planting mine this week. Could I put Bio Tone in the planting hole, or is it not necessary! Also, how long after the scape forms and curls the stem do you harvest? Thx

Uh-oh I'm in Western Oregon and I planted big cloves but without the paper on them they came up almost immediately I always plant them on my daughter's birthday which is the last day of September and this is the first time I took the layers off to the smooth clove because I had intended to do garlic honey should I start over or just see what happens they look healthy

What about using dried leaves to cover, I use leaves about 4inch thick or more than put old fence on top to stop leaves from blowing. Great vid

Nice video, thank you 😀 Winter came here early I plant my garlic Oct.8th and we had already snow about 3 cm 🥴 But I think it's ok. Also put carrots and some dill. Now our lake is starting to froze, so no more planting 😂

I liked cardboard in between the rows and the and the 6" square too.

Do you use the same bed for garlic over and over?

Towards the end of your video, you made a comment that sounded like there was herbs that come back in cold climate in the spring every year from the root what were they or did I misunderstand?

Well thought I was watching garlic planting not weeding 😢😢😢

How much and often do I water in the fall ? And after winter?

Is it ok to use garlic bought at a organic farmers market for planting?

Your favorite music garlic site is not selling garlic anymore.

How long does garlic take to grow to harvest

The "ope!" Got me to plant ope I mean click lol

seems like you should have forked out a couple more dollars to put down a full crop the first year so you could enjoy within one year instead of having to wait for the second crop :)

I ❤ garlic 🧄

Mistake nr 1 sounds like an American problem :D

💚👍

@4.30 you choose the large bulb over the small bulb, The large bulb has more cloves than the small bulb and are smaller, I would rather have chosen the small bulb because it had the bigger cloves, better plant 3 large cloves than 5 or 6 small ones, so fail there.

ALL garlic from the company you recommended in the description is out of stock. Is there another company you can recommend?

Smart girl. On top of it no nail polish or worse, crazy glued on nails, piercings, tattoos or ripped clothing. Thanks, you're a rare, beautiful breed amongst a lot of nuts in a world gone mad.

Wedo not need music. We just need to hear you say something.

In light of the fact that cardboard, newspaper and paper bags are filled with PFAS chemicals why are you still choosing to use them as weed barriers? I took the advice of people like Charles Dowding and began using paper and cardboard in my garden about 20 years ago and was distressed to learn that these are filled with carcinogenic compounds which have now completely contaminated my previously organic garden. I am disappointed so many people who claim to be authorities continue to publish this advice.

How often do you water the bed
