We have just a bit of USDA organic seed garlic left this season, grab it while it's still in stock: https://shop.epicgardening.com/collections/garlic
I live in northern NY, I plant soft neck garlic and I do it a coulpe weeks after harvedst in very late summer into fall. But every year it seems that harvest time is getting earlyer and early every year andThey sprout pretty good by the time winter comes a long. As the years have gone by I seem to be getting smaller cloves.
Is elephant garlic a "2 season" onion cousin – as it isn't true garlic. – if so, can you post a video of how to make "starts/sets" that make it into actual regular larger onions/bulbs for the second season. Maybe the difference between seed vs starts. Timing invested vs invested costs. Very few ppl know that some carrots or garlic, onions or other items are 2 season biennials in anything less than zone 8/9. More than a fair share of our country is less than 8/9 climate zones, please advise.
4:30 Where's zone 6?
I have garlic growing in my flower beds. Planted it around the roses years ago as a deterrent for bugs. It has spread and come up “wild” every year. I have enough every year to give away. Gotten to the point where I cut off the seed heads to keep it from spreading and overtaking my flower beds!
Excellent video – the one I’ve been waiting for!! I live in San Diego, University City area, and plan on growing hardneck Duganski this year. I’d like to grow mine in pots – roughly 12-15” diameter, 11” tall. Any advice for that? Also, how much water does garlic prefer? I also read that you should refrain from fertilizing until early spring for an October planting; I guess that means late spring for December planting? Do you fertilize? When do you generally harvest?
I still have one hard neck garlic left over from a harvest almost two years ago that is still good and hasn't even sprouted yet. It's just been chilling on the counter, but it's still good. Don't know about the "doesn't store as long" part, lol.
Question to anyone that can help. If planting Garlic in Grow bags. Can you have too much mulch?
I have about 3 inches of mulch (pea straw) and while I know they won't break the surface for probably another month or so, was wondering if mulch is too thick will they just die off.
I bought a bag of garlic from the grocery store and one of them is sprouting so I decided to plant it but all the other ones say to pull the peel off and separate them so I just did that And I am in Arizona. In June. So yes it's a little hot. Should I plant these already sprouting bulbs that I got from the grocery store in a pot of soil and keep them in my fridge for a while? Or maybe in the living room not too far from the air conditioner by the window?
What a great idea
Deerfield is a garlic that always grows in poor soil but need full sun and the Siberian I planted on a when is going great
Mine are so tiny almost seems useless for most of it not sure how to make it produce more
where do you buy your straw mulch? I live in San Diego also and cannot seem to find it.

😅😅😅
I live in 6b.
Your chart goes 0-3, 3-5, 7-9, 9-10.
Does this mean I can't grow garlic?
What should I do now & when the winter is coming? I planted the garlic in May, I saw some yellow leaves on the bottom.
Do you have a video recommendation for growing garlic in cooler climates? I am not from the usa so this video is sadly not the most useful for me.
I FAILED so hard at garlic by not understanding when/how it grows.
If, like me, you stuck some garlic cloves in the ground in May and then were shocked to have nothing in Fall… this video is for you.
How often do you water in the early stage?
Ours grow in the frig in N.Y.S.
I grow both sizes! I've read that you want to plant garlic on the shortest day of the year & harvest on the longest day.
I used to get spam emails on how to increase the size of something else, now my youtube feed is full of this. Am I getting old then?
Through out the year you can havest some of the greens for baries dishes. Its freaking great, especially in stews.
I also keep telling myself I'm going to compost with manure and seaweed, but just never make it to the beach.
I didn't have straw to lay down. My crop came out very small. FYI to all. Make sure to cover them after you plant.
The result of the really big garlic bulbs is where you are?
Zone 9B here – Plant 6" deep??? Sounds very deep. Double checking. Thanks Kevin. Love ur vids.
What do you recommend to do with the bulbis? Most of my garlic grow scapes and bulbis. Is it worth planting? How do I do this? I heard it take 4 years…. Please explain. Thanks, Kevin.
