Curing, Storing, and Braiding Garlic Garden Answer erm: The reason you cant braid your hard neck garlic is because you cut off your scapes you need to pull them out pull them gently and they break off down inside the stem later after harvest let them dry bulb down i usually put them in a 5 gallon bucket bulb down when they have dried for a few days I braid them. Give each stem a bit of a twest make them a bit softer. Then pour a nice glass of wine and start braiding. I wish I could post a picture.

Great video I am going to start a veggie garden next year and garlic is so useful for food and it repels a host of bugs. I really wanted to ask you about your lavender this is my first year trying to start a lavender Farm we have different zones but my lavender is doing so so and I just wonder if u wher having better luck from the other times u stated u planted it and if so what did u do differently. Thanks and I truly love your videos.

You can braid hard neck garlic it just takes a little for prep work. You have to make a slit in the stalk lengh wise and cut out the scape or whats left of the scape from the inside of the green leaf folage. Then it will be like the soft neck garlic to where you can then braid the garlic. Thus you would have a hard braided garlic that lasts longer. Hope this help you next year when you are harvesting you hard neck garlic variety.

My garlic was so small. I harvested it yesterday and each bulb is no bigger than a nickel. I'm sure they will taste good they smelled wonderful and I will try again in the fall. Not sure what went wrong except that maybe they need more water during the whole growing process or maybe the ground was too rocky because when I dug the holes I came across a lot of gravel that was put in below the dirt for the patio.

You can braid hard necks just use a wood or rubber mallet or even a rolling pin and gently pound the hard stem of the scape to split it and make it more pliable. Pre softening the stem with a warm damp towel wrap (only the stems ) I was told also works.

Nice video. I have found that it's very important to remove the scapes from the hardneck as soon as possible as it will suck energy from the bulbs and continue to grow even after harvest which degrades the storage life of the bulbs. Softneck will not do that.
