Greetings from Canada! I love your harvest! I don't harvest any garlic or onions or potatoes until August or September (totally dependant on when my onions bolt). I have no garage or basement or shed to store what I grow but I have 97 garlic that came up and 107 onions. Potatoes are still just coming up. 😆 🤣
Wow so far north! Congrats on your upcoming harvest! I didn't grow any potatoes this year because they just don't store well in my hot dry climate...but I'm kind of missing having them!
I find that using a trenching shovel minimizes wrist strain when digging a lot of garlic bulbs, especially in firm soil. This also works well for onions, shallots, leeks... pretty much all alliums.
Wow great harvest! The first time I grew garlic I ripped it up after a couple months thinking it had surely been long enough 😂 This last fall was the first time trying again and I did the exact opposite and left them until I realized they were getting pretty crispy.
Hey Meghan, you might be familiar with this but just FYI; I saw at "the cottage Fairy" vlog she did an "Olla watering system " for garden beds in drought areas and I of course thought of you guys😊anyway check it out
Yes they do! I love that channel as well. 😄 the layers of an onion and bulbs of garlic recieve their nutrients from the leaves..so the bigger the leaves..the bigger the bulb! Nitrogen fertilization is the way for big bulbs of garlic and onion
Are your garden your onions from seed or from? Did you order them and if you order them who do you buy from just wondering I live in the Phoenix desert area west side and we are pretty hot too. I’ve gotten onions from Dale and I think they’re pretty good, however my last onion harvest was not really good and that was my fault. Yours are beautiful love your garlic I get garlic hearing Arizona fresh and it’s wonderful this time I grew 150. However they ripen way early and I left them a little long, but hoping a lot of them staying that I can keep them a year, your garlic were beautiful. Thank you for sharing.
@@thefiresidefarm thank you I have never tried them from seeds, but I’m going to providing I get a set up my space for lights. Did you grow them in in underground heights or in a greenhouse? I don’t have either at this time lol but there’s today and tomorrow.
@NonieK2267 unfortunately I do not have a greenhouse but I do have a rather inexpensive indoor grow light setup that I usually start all my seeds under. Onions are SUPER easy to grow from seed. Just throw a ton of seeds into a flat of soil. No pots needed. No thinning required. When it's time to transplant they separate very easily. I love it!
I kept them in cotton mesh bags in one of my hall closets last year and they did great. It's a small closet too...so it's easy to smell if a single bulb goes bad and I can find and pull it out.
✌️❤️🙏 fantastic video

Thanks Ronald! I actually have a couple terra cotta ollas's in my beds 😁
Wow I would love to grow that many garlic and onions, this is awesome 😎
Thanks! I hope you get to one day!
They look good. I saw on Simply Living Alaska she said garlic needs a lot of nitrogen. I believe, onions do, too.

Thanks for sharing. Yes i started my onions from seed in the fall, and then planted them out as little seedlings.

How do you store the garlic in the house after its cured? Do you refrigerate them or just keep in a cool dark place?
I kept them in cotton mesh bags in one of my hall closets last year and they did great. It's a small closet too...so it's easy to smell if a single bulb goes bad and I can find and pull it out.
@@thefiresidefarm I would not have thought of cotton mesh. Thank you so much ❤️
