18 years ago, I got garlic from my father and he got it 7 years before me from my uncle that had been growing it about 20 years before us. I don’t know what kind of garlic it is, but it’s a hard neck. over the years we have been noticing the flavor of the garlic has improved it has gotten stronger. Last year was our best year ever for garlic, the heads were so big, but the coolest thing about this garlic is, it has been in the family over 35 years. I can’t wait to see your garlic next year. Love your videos 😊

Sometimes if feels like creators try to stretch a 5 minute video to 20 minutes or more with a lot of filler, but a 20 minute Becky video is 20 solid minutes with little to no filler. I'm invested for the entire time rather than opening other tabs and tuning out because I lost interest.

For all those tiny heads of garlic, I would remove the loose skins, just slice the tops off, throw them on a foil lined baking sheet. Drizzle with olive oil, cover the pan with another sheet of foil and bake at 400F for about 40 minutes. You can squeeze out the garlic then freeze them whole or mashed. Great to just thaw and throw in with mashed potatoes or for garlic bread or pizza!

Isn’t it so satisfying when you get the garlic in the ground? It’s good that you planted some hard neck because you will be so glad for the scapes. I planted four pounds of hard neck. They do really well in the cold weather, but they are smallish. I don’t mind the small heads because it’s just me here, so I don’t use a ton. Music is my favourite. So juicy and flavourful. 💚

@littlesuzie6672 2 жыл бұрын
Growing garlic is my most favourite thing to grow! Don’t despair about the little cloves, sometimes I plant them deliberately in a spare area just because I like the small single bulb clove that forms (called “ a round”). Also, small heads of garlic are useful roasted as whole bulbs (once cooked, the cloves squeeze/slide out easily), or for throwing into bone broth. The reason why “seed” or organic garlic is used to plant with, is because ordinary store bought garlic is usually sprayed with a growth inhibitor chemical, to stop it sprouting in the supermarket. If you plant these, you will likely get retarded growth patterns, or a situation called “brooming”, because they were kept in cold storage for so long. Home grown, certified organic or seed garlic is best 👍 Good luck with your crop, can’t wait to see your harvest! Love your videos ❤️

Tips for the smaller garlic. I sit down and peel all the small ones and throw them in a baking dish and cover with oil. Wrap tightly in foil and then bake until golden. Drain off the oil, smash up the garlic and then press into mini ice cube trays and freeze. Once there frozen transfer to a Ziploc bag and keep freezing until you're out of garlic. then the oil can be saved as flavored garlic oil

Good common sense Becky! I do know composting; I took a Master Gardener Composting Class, as an addition to the Master Gardener Class offered, in my area. As a rule, you never add weeds or diseased plant matter to ur Compost. So, I trash my spent 🍅 plants. Also, 🍅 horn 🐛s go dormant or their eggs will survive in the soil, til time to come awake next season. So that’s another reason to remove all worms (using a black light) and dispose of spent plants asap. Don’t leave the foliage up any longer than you hv to, next season, cuz the horn worms will enjoy the free meal and the lack of vigilance from keeping em at bay. I live in Dallas, so our Winters aren’t right for bulb development, But I keep trying. Gonna Try some 🧄 Again soon. Thanks for your wonderful tutorial.

So a tip with the leaves is to mow the leaves with a bag mower and that chops them up and then put them on your beds the breakdown really well and you won’t have to remove them, also I use leaves instead of straw to suppress my weeds because I have lots of trees and then it coasts me nothing but time.

I haven't had much luck with this method but I suspect different varieties have looser skins which would help a lot. I usually just smack a few of the smaller ones together on the cutting board a few times, pick out the big pieces of garlic meat and toss the rest. I admit it, I'm lazy.
@vanessarheadart9708 2 жыл бұрын
At the other end of this process. When you want to peel large amounts of garlic, break up the bulbs and drop into a bucket/bowl of boiling water leave till cool and the skin should just slip off. I know it's not hard to get the skin's off but we used to do this in the Greek kitchen I worked in and when we had to do an bag of garlic a day it took the fiddle out of the process. I am now looking for garlic to plant.

I grow only soft neck garlic because I live too far south to grow hard neck effectively :) Unfortunately, because I moved this summer, I didn't get my garlic bed up and ready before October passed (which is the prime time for growing garlic here!) I MIGHT be able to put it in, but despite the fact that I live in the same zone as I did before, I've found that moving just 60 miles north of where I was before the climate in the country is DRAMATICALLY different than in the suburbs. Instead, I'm taking notes about my microclimate so I know exactly when and how to get my garlic in the ground in 2022 to have a monster crop in 2023. I can handle buying garlic for a year for great results happily ever after! I'm also super interested in planting Transylvanian garlic. I've heard the flavor is amazing!

If you put your garlic cloves no matter how small in a plastic container or glass jar and put the lid on then shake the jar the skin on the garlic loosens and you can just pull the papery skin off, I don’t bother peeling the garlic when roasting with vegetables or when crushing as it will just cook in with the dish hope this helps take care 😀

I ended up with a failed garlic harvest, planted in the spring, all the heads were small. So instead of peeling them and using them in recipes, I just toss the whole head in when I make stock. This year I planted in the fall and I can't wait to see what I get. Cheers and Merry Christmas!

Get yourself one of those rubber garlic rollers. I don't know what the actual name is. You put the garlic in the middle and just roll. I've always just smashed and peeled. Bought one of these and I love it. Works great on any size head of garlic.

I planted a few garlic bulbs when I saw this two weeks ago, and I already see several garlic sprouts that around about 2” high! By the way, on another channel, Daisy something or other, this guy Jag said that planting large bulbs produce larger heads. So I selected do large bulbs snd we’ll see what we get.

Becky, I so enjoy you videos. You are my new Marth Stewart. :) I don't know how you get so many different things done the way you do, and all done well. I look forward to your videos everyday. I'm 63 years old and you have taught this old dog some new tricks. Can't wait for my next lesson. Bless you sweet girl.

Becky you are a wealth of good information. I only found your channel a few months ago and I absolutely love it.

Becky, this has nothing to do with planting garlic but peeling it. I was peeling garlic to dehydrate by hitting the clove with a butcher knife which began to hurt my hand. I got my kitchen pounder (flattens chicken) and hit the cloves with that. It did not hurt my hand and the peels came right off. Just an FYI.

I planted soft neck too. I personally like the flavor more than the different hard necks I've tried.

Yay!!! I've been waiting for this video! You inspired me to try planting garlic this year. We loooove garlic scapes, but they aren't easily available where we live so we are planting our own. I'm doing all container gardening so I'm super stoked about this year's container forays! I'm just so excited and it's all thanks to you!
