Hi Kevin, I hate to comment this on your video given the positivity your work creates. Have you ever heard of the police sending codes to enforce a codes violation stating you cannot touch the dirt you live on? As in, you cannot dig a hole to plant a bush. I had my rights violated by the codes officer sent (who illegally obtained evidence) by the police. The Township Manager wrote the violation related to digging a hole for a bush while the codes officer was in another state on vacation. I have been landscaping my parents place (catch me on street view 501 Mill Road, 19083) for years doing this work. The harassment is related to being given intelligence by a local Sergeant that should not have been shared with me. It just seems excessive. Local landscapers are amazed so I am asking around. I cannot properly share appreciation for the work you do. I hope business is well!

In a garden so smelly, not far from the town,
Grew garlic so strong, it could knock you right down!
The gardener was proud, with a grin ear to ear,
Come visit my garlic! he'd shout far and near.
People would come, but they'd quickly retreat,
The smell of the garlic knocked them off their feet!
But the gardener just laughed, It's the scent of success!
While munching on garlic, in his garlic-pressed dress.
He'd dance through his rows, with a garlic bulb crown,
Singing, Garlic's the king, it will never back down!
His garden grew famous, a smelly delight,
Even vampires stayed far, flying off in the night!
So here's to the garden, where garlic's the star,
So potent and pungent, you could smell it from afar.
It might not be roses, but to the gardener's part,
The smell of strong garlic was the scent of his heart!

Hey Kevin This will be my 3rd year of trying to grow hardneck garlic in London, UK, Zone 9a. I put them in the fridge and last year didn't plant until the beginning of Dec as our first frost is about the first week of Jan. They did do better than the year before but they are much smaller than the softneck and don't seem to enjoy being interplanted with the tomatoes, like the soft neck.
Are they just getting too much sun? They just seem to want to finish much earlier than the soft neck. Can i plant them near kale, runner beans and spinach?
Thanks for the great information!

Im in zone 6a. Northeastern PA. Ive tried 3 times with seed garlic and theyve all failed. Last year i stuck a bag of sprouting garlic from sams club in the ground. I got a ton of garlic this past year. Freaking crazy! They were also softneck which is weird to me but it worked. I saved a ton of garlic for planting this year so im hoping these cloves remember they were here before and do great again. I left out all of the tiny cloves and only kept the big ones. Im hoping for success again.

I'm an old guy who lived in many countries. The small heads of garlic that we used to have were so much stronger than these big Asian garlics that have won the hearts of garlic haters. They love them because they don't taste like garlic any more. If I was to guess I would say a half a clove of what we used to call garlic has more flavour than a whole head of this big crap. Call me a liar if you wish.

I m in zone 3B and planted garlic. I m having a hard time of it because the squirrels keeps digging it up. They don t seem to eat it, just throw it around. My sister specifically grows full garlic amongst other things because it gets the squirrels to leave her garden alone. My squirrels didn t get that memo.

I bought some garlic the other day for planting and then got distracted and forgot about it when someone gave me a motherland okra pod for seed. This was the reminder I needed to get get the cloves in some dirt and attempt to get my first successful garlic harvest out of them.

Garlic first-timer Q, . If I'm in a climate with snowy winters, but my recently planted garlic is already sprouting greens and it hasn't snowed yet, should I be concerned about the early growth this fall dying? Will that affect the garlic for the winter/spring?

5b here - planting Hardneck at the end of October, early November. The last few years, hard freeze in my area has come later - so I've had major success waiting a bit. If you're into cooking with Hardneck Garlic: The Porcelain and Rocambole varieties are divine!

Kevin is a little late for some of us about to freeze. A few weeks earlier, next season
Have you ever grown potato onions? That's my new experience this season another onion that needs cold stratification. Would enjoy a video about it.

We had our first frost earlier this week so I planted mine yesterday before the rain set in. I have had more rain today than in all of September combined. On a positive note the garlic won t need to be watered soon (if at all before winter)

I like the hard neck living in pacific northwest Vancouver island. Some of my garlic cloves are the size of a small plum. Keep the best large ones each year for planting in the fall. Been doing this for years!

Have you ever gotten your straw from Carter's in Encinitas? I'm just wondering if you had any issues with using straw. I have not but I hear people talk about garzon herbicide sometimes being used on straw.

I received my soft neck seed garlic this past week and it is absolutely beautiful! Large heads, very healthy looking and packaged nicely. I would highly recommend this seed garlic.

Great video! Question about watering-- do you need to water before the garlic sprouts? If so, how often? I'd think you might run into ground rot if you water too much too early.

Definitely going to try and grow some hardneck garlic. I'm in NYC so I guess I can put some in a 5-gallon grow bag and place it in the corner of my fire escape this winter.
