Restorative Gardening with Mind & Soil

Күн бұрын

After nearly 9 months our garlic babies are just about all set to be harvested! Green, lush, and girthy, they have had an amazing growing season! BUT, if they're harvested too soon the results can be quite underwhelming as the majority. of the garlic head development happens in the final weeks. So how do you know when to harvest your garlic? Well, fortunately there are 2 very distinct signs to keep your eyes peeled for in the final 6 weeks of growth and I show you exactly what they are in today's video!

If I'm being real, very very very few people actually need blood pressure meds. My last doctor trip my resting heart rate was 150 something, and with just a few minor lifestyle changes, my heart rate after biking for 5 hours wouldn't even be that high, and if I'm extremely active that week my resting heart rate will be 60 or below.

Last fall my wife and I were inland and doing some fall color tours and such, when we came Apon a winery that had a shelf with some Ukrainian garlic. Me, being a garlic lover, eat on almost everything. Bought some cloves to consume. I asked the lady where it was from and she said her family brought it over from the Ukraine almost 100yrs ago, so it's from the same strain. I've never grown garlic before so I took a shot at it and planted it when she told me too. So now, to my surprise,, i have 4 big, tall garlic plants'. And NOW I see what you were talking about!. The main curl is starting. I was so close to harvesting these 4 plants thinking they were ready. Now I know I have another month to go. i really really appreciate this video. and yes, im a Toronto blue jays' fan! cheers mate.

When we moved into our place in the country, I planted a garden. Corn, carrots, zucchini and a few others. There was a sense of satisfaction watching them emerge, and seeing the ears develop day by day. Until I went out and found every ear of young corn gone, and deer tracks everywhere in the garden. Ditto for the other crops I’d planted. Literally, the only thing that I grew in that garden that made it to our table, was venison.

If you plant items like garlic, the critters and pests leave it alone. All the benefits, without the headaches. Also, perennial veggies, like asparagus are usually left alone and it’s pretty low-maintenance. Add compost and a good layer of mulch and you won’t even have to weed.

A couple of things: 1) I think you're up in Canada. In Northern California I'm about a week from pulling my soft neck garlic. About 1/3 of the vegetation has already "browned". Pulled a couple as a test and they're looking good; 2) Us soft neck growers don't get "scapes" (think only hard neck and elephant garlic growers get them). So, if you're growing soft-neck garlic, you may want to monitor the browning of the plant vs. looking for scapes.......and, depending on your location, consider late May as a potential harvest time (I left a few until July last year and they seemed to rot a bit).

My father would plant garlic in the fall (in Western New York). It was the first thing up in the spring, and produced large, tender, sweet bulbs with no sharpness. He would harvest as needed throughout the year. He would leave them in place and as the season progressed, the bulbs would become stronger and sharper until he stopped their growth by harvesting the remainder and drying as mentioned. We had sweet garlic in the spring and large bulbs as big as my fist at the end. IMHO, try planting a little more than you think you'll need and harvest weekly. (Keep notes! LOL) You'll not only have FRESH garlic all season, but you'll be able to choose the level of flavor and sharpness that's right for you.

By the time the leaves brown and whither, the plant has stopped growing and it will be plenty strong and sharp.

This is information I found in a book titled 'Growing Great Garlic', by Ron England, who owns Filaree Farm in North Central Washington State. (This is the most informational book I've found about garlic... very well written.) In experiments he conducted on hardneck garlics, he found that, if the scape (flower stalk) is allowed to uncoil and become woody before it is removed, this increases storage life (length of time spent in dormancy) significantly. This is the result he experienced in his zone (USDA zones 6b-7a), although some growers disagree with his findings.

@gabriellakadar Ай бұрын

I agree. But I use the scapes so I leave a few 'sentinel' scapes and harvest all of the garlic when these are straight. Kept cool and dry my garlic was fine until we ate the last bulb at the end of April. I left a few garlic bulbs in the ground until the scapes opened and there was no adverse effect on the size of the bulbs. They were just as big as the ones I didn't leave on the scapes or the ones where I harvested when the scapes went up straight. It's all in the timing. Every year is slightly different because of the weather. This year the scapes are just beginning to grow on some of the plants. June 3. Right now I have the third year of some garlic that I've grown from bulbils. These are very interesting because I have left them in the ground the entire time and they started growing in October. Then they just waited until spring warm up to continue growing. They did not appear to have any damage from the winter conditions. These bulbils produced bulbs and scapes in their first year. I don't know what variety they are but they have red skins and are very hot. I fertilize with composted hen manure pellets and add quality compost on the soil surface. No dig since 2016. Soil is fluffy.

I take my garlic and hang it in front of a fan until it drys out thoroughly. They easily last a year after curing them like that. Also I love making scape relish!

This is my 1st season to have what looks like a successful harlic bed. I have no idea what's under the ground though. Thank you for sharing your knowledge. I will wait another month befor even trying to dig any of it. My leaves are just now turning.

I’m in the south and plant softneck garlic in December and harvest right about end of May early June and they bend over at the top letting me know I can’t wait any longer or they’ll rot. I’ve had a pretty decent harvest last year and this year so far. Next year I may plant them in grow bags instead of my native soil for extra nutrients for them and to keep them from getting overwatered by heavy rain in April and May here in Texas.

I’ve tried garlic in ground a couple of times with disappointing results. Last fall I built raised beds and the first thing in was garlic. I’m witnessing growth like never before! Always enjoy trying new foods in the garden.

What a find! Glad I stumbled into this particular video and your channel. Specific to the garlic, I have a patch of 30 plants coming on here in western (mountainous) North Carolina, planted late 10/2022, sourced from a supplier in Georgia whom I've used before, Music variety. No scapes yet (knew to look for those) and of course, no dying leaves. My question...previously in WA State, a friend advised that we needed to stop watering once the scapes showed up, which was easy because it hardly rained after mid-May. Here, we get a pretty consistent 4 to 5 inches a month. Is that a concern or did my WWA friend provide misleading information? Thanks for what you appear to be doing. I've checked out your small bulb - large bulb experiment (wow!) and look forward to more.

I grow garlic and agree with what you said, I do wonder why you palnted them so deep. I never plant garlic very deep and always have a nice crop that can be pulled up with little effort. Garlic is an easy plan to grow,

Thanks very much; very helpful to get the reminder about when and how to harvest. Members of the Vancouver Vegetable Growing group have been discussing this topic. The difference in how far along people's crops are is quite amazing. Some harvested their scapes last week, some are about to harvest, and others are waiting for the scapes to curl.

Yeah! So cool how within just 2hrs it can go from Zone 5 (whistler) to probably close to Zone 9 in Delta area. So many fun little variables to play around with!

@lemagreengreen Жыл бұрын

Garlic can be frustrating since it sometimes matures late and you probably need the space for other crops. It does swell remarkably quickly however, in a matter of weeks that little spring onion looking bulb can swell into a full size head of garlic. I prefer hardneck varieties for this reason since the appearance of the scapes means you're about 3-4 weeks from harvest in most cases. My garlic is late this year (bad spring weather) and I'm a little bit impatient but finally found a few scapes today so we're not far off.

Great video thank you from here in Australia where I guess the middle of July transfers to middle of January for harvest . What type of bag did you say to store them in , and could you just continue to store on wire netting in a cool spot ?

@diananutt2745 Ай бұрын

In Florida. I planted my garlic back in November after keeping the cloves in the fridge for about 3 months. Invernalization? Now it’s May. The garlic grew great, but dead leaves showed up in January! I pulled one and got the same thing you did. Small, mostly roots end. And the scapes? There’s no loop de looping. It came out with flowers showing! I cleaned mine up and have been watching them. I will pull in July. We shall see!

@Greengirljmt Ай бұрын

I would look up “planting garlic in warmer climates”. The season might be different in the south than the north. If they are flowering, that means that they’re done with the bulbing process. Did you plant soft or hard neck varieties?

@ofpcorpsman 2 ай бұрын

Subscribed 3 min in because it looks like you know what you're doing! So I plant hard neck every fall, amd harvest about when you said, never counted dead leaves tho, what about soft neck garlic? Planted my first soft neck garlic this spring for first time !
