After three years of minimal success with hardnecks here in zone 10, I finally did enough research to find out about the refrigeration technique. This is the only garlic video on KZfaq (and I've watched loads of them) that mentions this. Thank you for your thoroughness.

I have a bunch (no pun intended) from the Safeway supermarket that looked healthy and large and had decent roots. All got planted along with a bit of older cloves from two years ago which I also planted. Hope I'll get decent harvests as all are in pots and planters. Big experiment. I did similar with both commercial Music Garlic and supermarket garlic two years ago with so-so success. Here in the Mohave Desert Zone 8B is pretty so-so for vegetable gardening in my 2 years here. All was planted in Oct. and yes, we sure did get cold weather this past Winter! Never had that soak tip before and should try it this coming Fall! Thanks.

This is very helpful-thank you! I had some organic garlic that started sprouting in the fridge and I decided to throw it in a cup with some water to see if it would root, and it’s like 4 inches tall with roots now! Lol, I wasn’t expecting that! Needless to say, I need to plant it-now-and fortunately, this is a great time to do it over here in FL (zone 10). I really appreciate the info on feeding and curing…didn’t even realize it needed to be cured until now.😬 Fortunately it won’t be hard to do here. Thanks again and may you have a prolific cool season garden!

I think it my be time to stop watering. I will water in the morning one more time and the stop watering It is April 17 2023. Does any one have any thoughts? The two I pulled are good sized much larger than my last 2 crops. I am so excited. That you Angela for guiding me in growing and for guiding me to Forever Yong Farms to buy my garlic for planting.

You can also plant garlic in the spring after the danger of frost has passed. But if you have a very short growing season, the bulbs may not have time to fully mature. If you miss the fall planting window, you can start them indoors in early spring and transplant them outdoors after the frost danger is passed. It is best to harden them off before transplanting.

I planted my garlic (hard neck) at the beginning of October of last year, here in Mesa, Arizona. I harvested it in June. I planted it at the beginning of August this year. I used the same garlic, but directly replanted some without refrigerating them first….and planted some that were refrigerated first…..both are coming up just fine.

The refrigeration typically helps them to bulb up better. Let me know if you notice a difference at harvest time.

I was reading the accompanying post on your website about growing garlic and listed as softneck varieties are Maiskij, Shilla, Ajo Rojo, and Burgundy. I went to the Forever Young Farms website and they have these varieties listed as hardnecks but some say warm weather adapted or widely adapted. Would you still put these varieties in the refrigerator for at least 6 weeks? Also, if buying softnecks, will they benefit from putting in the refrigerator for only 2-4 weeks?

@GrowingInTheGarden 3 жыл бұрын

I need to take a look at those, I may have gotten them mixed up. To answer your question, I try and put my softneck and hardneck in the fridge at least a few weeks before planting. I've had larger bulbs when they have been in the fridge.

I've been growing garlic (hard neck) for 8 yrs, watched many KZfaq videos but your video in the best of the bunch. I planted my garlic in the 3rd week of Oct (Zone 4/5) and watched them sprout. We've been using harvested garlic since August and recently had several cloves that appear to be rotted or eaten by a pest. This is the fourth year of planting in the same location - lots of sun, regular watering, and fertilizer. Any ideas why this is happening? I'm guessing that I should have planted the new cloves in a different location. Can I carefully dig up the sprouts (5"-6" high) and transplant them to a different location? The ground is not frozen yet. Can I grow something in that spot or just let it be for ? years? Thanks.

@GrowingInTheGarden 2 жыл бұрын

I'm not sure. I would probably let them be for now - or you could move some and see how they do. I'd hate for you to lose all of them if you moved them. In the future, definitely rotate where you plant each year. Try to go 2 seasons or more before planting in the same spot again.

@buggsy5 Жыл бұрын

9+ months is a long time for hard neck garlic to remain in the ground, especially if you are continuously watering them. You should withhold water a few weeks before harvesting. As soon as they are ready for harvesting, get them out of the ground and hung for curing. Moving the sprouts should be OK, but disturb the roots as little as possible.
