I am a first time gardener and have done so many things wrong. I love watching your videos to see what future years can be like. I’ve loved learning and just this entire process
After last years flop due to allium leaf miner I now had to deal with harvesting the smallest garlic bulbs ever. But, idc. Something is better than nothing and I’m learning from my mistakes. I’m so proud of my cute, little garlic bulbs and plan on saving the largest cloves for planting come October. 🥰
Your excitement is contagious and makes me excited to get some garlic and onions planted for next year! My wife is always burning through garlic and seeing how much you grew makes it a better deal to grow vs buy
You have me excited to grow garlic next year!!! Those heads were beautiful!!! NOW, please inform us how each tastes ..maybe roasted and raw in a dressing or something. You are amazing, and so fun to watch and learn!
I am new to your channel and finishing up watching this video. Oh wow. I fully understand this issue with too much rain, at wrong time & ruining your hard work. Hope you can find a source for more onions. You can grow green onions seeds right now. What remains in ground, they will overwinter beautifully. Gurneys seeds sells overwintering, onion sets you plant in fall. Early harvests in spring of green onions then lv some to bulb up, early summer. Is am zone 5b/6a.
Garlic is my joy crop and Inchelium Reds were my best producing garlic by far this year! My hardnecks were hit and miss this year so I’m so glad I found you to see what you did different.
This is my first year growing hardneck garlic. I'm ready to harvest tomorrow. Hopefully the rain will stop. We used chicken manure and I hope to get a halfway decent harvest. Your video is chockfull of information. Thank you!
I plant 4" down and smother with straw. I space at 7" and inter-plant all rows. I trim off the roots to minimize mold and speed up drying. This summer I haven't had to water. Last summer was too hot and stressful. Should have watered couple three times more, at least. About 2 weeks away from harvest. I only grow Music, 30 years organic when I got my first batch 4 years ago. Keeps getting better as a rule.
Well done! Here in the UK it has been one of the worst years for growing garlic. We have had very poor weather for most of the year with a lot of rain all spring and early summer, cold nights, low light levels. We have a fungal disease called Rust that affects plant growth and this has been the worst year I have known for it.
This is inspiring! I’ve been gardening since 2021 in 6b. I just preordered 2lbs of garlic last week so I can finally grow a large amount for my garlic loving partner haha. I hope to have this success next year!
Great harvest! Can’t wait for your onion harvest. Great advice in your videos, thank you!! I’m growing garlic for the first time this year and I can’t wait until harvest!
GREAT job! Did you plant the softneck at the same time as the hardneck? And what is your grow zone ? Can you give us the brand of fish/seaweed fertilizer; liquid or granular? Thanks
Well what do you say about this video of yours young lady, firstly congratulations, you have achieved what most growers of this wonderful plant aspire to. I have been a grower for 35 years, I usually harvest around a thousand bulbs a year, your harvest was exceptional, kudus to you, your enthusiasm and joy with what you have achieved was a pleasure to see, here is a tip given to me by my gardening mentor who was of Italian and Yugoslav decent, he said to me eat a raw clove of garlic every morning and you will never have a sick day in your life, you don't need to chew it just swallow it whole or cut in quarters and then swallow it , you will never have a sick day in your life, he lived to a hundred, so who am I to argue with his wisdom.
Thank you for sharing the name of the variety you grew!!! Cheers to your harvest. My garlic harvest was last week and it was just as exciting as yours 🎉😊
I just found your channel. That was a really nice garlic harvest! Those alliums like a lot of nitrogen! I totally feel your excitement over that super harvest, gardening is such a joy!
Such a fantastic harvest! Its great to see a small change produce a big result. Think I need to follow your spacing as I tend to crowd my garlic as well. Watching with interest from Oz.
I guess I need to keep watching your videos to see what I need to do to grow good garlic bulbs. I pulled a few the other day and they were puny looking and so not sure what I did wrong. First time growing them. I used cloves from the grocery store and planted them in my compost pile.
@@di4085you’d be better off growing them in a bed or planters; if a bed you can make sure there is well composted manure mixed in your soil or compost to help feed them while they grow (I amend heavily and haven’t needed extra feed for a good harvest) or in planters you will need to get a fertiliser and feed them regularly. You can get a garlic fertiliser or Bre used a fish and seaweed fertiliser for hers I believe. Spacing is important too, so remember to give them enough space between cloves to have good airflow and room to grow. Good luck growing for next year 🌱
@@sarahtrew9331 Thanks for the tips. I was growing them in the compost pile but I had them really close together. Is it okay to use grocery store garlic cloves or should I order? I actually have a fish fertilizer.
Bre, fantastic video! I have purchased my garlic from different suppliers in the past. This year, due to some family issues that didn’t allow me to plant last fall, I need to purchase again. Do you have any favorite places that you go to?
This is my second season attempting garlic. Last year I planted in the spring and the bulbs were so so tiny that I harvested. This round I planted last fall and there are still a few that look like they’ll be small, but a couple of them look like they’ll be massive! I’m so excited! I’ll definitely be taking your suggestions into consideration for next year. My only issue with spacing is that I’m really limited on space, so I try to pack everything in as tight as possible. Maybe this next planting I’ll put garlic in every bed rather than trying to just get them all into two beds.
Awesome job with your garlic! A few things I've had luck with are digging up the heads instead of pulling them by hand. Yeah, it's fun and it makes a great noise, but I've had a lot of tears with the softneck varieties. If I damage the stem it doesn't store very long. I also take pictures of my painter's tape, because life happens and tape doesn't always stay put. Especially in my garage. :) Thanks for the great video!
Neptunes Harvest fish and seaweed. Its linked in my amazon store front in the description box - under garden favorites. When growth started in spring every 7-14 days
Yay! Your garlic looks awesome! I grew it this last year for the first time and just harvested yesterday. I grew 13 heads, lol 😅 But like yours, they were huge. I was super excited that I did it!!
Step one is in this video. Curing. This will last the next 3-5 weeks then Ill get it all cleaned up which Ill show. Ill also prob throw together a full garlic video start to finish
Man your making me want to harvest my garlic lol but no i must use self control lol im still a wk or 2 out and probably over planted so the family gets some fresh garlic this year for sure. I still have some frozen from last year's harvest, it feels good to be able to share tho
Fantastic harvest! I also planted Georgian Fire and it is indeed huge! Next year I'll have to try some softneck. What size is your drying wall for that much garlic?
Amazing!! Did you get your garlic locally or did you buy it from a website? Also what kind of fertilizer did you use? I’d love to try it also!! Thanks for sharing 😊
I get all my seed garlic from Mad River Garlic Growers as far as fertilizer goes Its Neptunes Harvest Fish & Seaweed. Its linked in my amazon store front in my bio. Under Garden Favorites.
I just love your content with gardening, I was wondering if you can share what type of microphone you use in your videos and what camera, the quality sounds so good even when your far away!!
Thank you! Its the DJI Wireless. I have them linked in my amazon store front in the description box if your interested. Should be under the Filming Category
Hello new subscriber here! I came from watching your shorts! I love your garden its beautiful and sustainable! Just a question your neighboors ok with your chickens?
What brand is that tank top? It looks like what I'm trying, and failing, to find. I'm envious of your garlic! The two times I tried growing it, the critters ran off with it.
Hey Y'all, This is the first time I found your channel and the first one I watched. Wow that is really great garlic. Yours look similar to mine. I also want to grow softneck for the first time when I plant this fall. I am about 5 years growing garlic also. I have planted, Vietnamese Red, Korean Red, Chesnok Red, Armenian, German Xtra Hardy and Persian Star. Question where do you order your Garlic from? I live in Minnesota and get my garlic seed from Wisconsin Keene Garlic. I am always curious to find new varieties that they may not have. So glad to find your channel you did a great job growing garlic and a great job making this video. I did subscribe and look forward to the future videos.
Spacing 8 inches, fish and seaweed fertlizer, foliage spray fertilizer
Girls who get excited about garlic 🙌🙌 so wholesome 💕
It must be so satisfying growing your own food, have never seen such gigantic garlic lol you should be so proud of yourself!
It is! Especially after almost 8 months of waiting! Thank you!!
Your garlic excitement is infectious 😂 you should put together something that explains what you did differently that made it such a good harvest!
She did say she spaced them out more, and started fertilizing in late Feb. cause it was warmer.
Thank you!!
That’s what the title says, so I watched, but didn’t learn much. Amazing harvest, congratulations 🎉
you didn't watch the video?????
I am a first time gardener and have done so many things wrong. I love watching your videos to see what future years can be like. I’ve loved learning and just this entire process
If we learn from our mistakes gardening then we're learning.
it would really be cool if you could tell us about the different flavor profiles of the garlic types. thank you. beautiful harvest!
Love that idea!
Love, love, love your excitement. True gardening joy.
Thanks so much! 😊

Never give up, we all have dismal set backs but there is always next year , learn from others and you will have success.
Right on! It’s not a contest. Small garlic tastes great, too.
Your excitement is contagious and makes me excited to get some garlic and onions planted for next year! My wife is always burning through garlic and seeing how much you grew makes it a better deal to grow vs buy
The flavor is unmatched!! No going back once you grow your own!
I had my best garlic year as well. That soft neck variety is phenomenal
Congrats!! Such a good feeling!
You have me excited to grow garlic next year!!! Those heads were beautiful!!! NOW, please inform us how each tastes ..maybe roasted and raw in a dressing or something. You are amazing, and so fun to watch and learn!

Ok. Just heard u mention planting fall scallions. Yay!
Thank you for mentioning that you had been nervous about harvest in the past. I feel the same way!
Its taken me so long to start feeling more comfortable in the garden! Everything can seem so intimidating while learning lol
Garlic is my joy crop and Inchelium Reds were my best producing garlic by far this year! My hardnecks were hit and miss this year so I’m so glad I found you to see what you did different.
I can’t wait to pull my garlic. I think I have 2 weeks to go before mine are ready. What a great harvest! Congrats!
Thank you! Wishing you a great harvest!
This is my first year growing hardneck garlic. I'm ready to harvest tomorrow. Hopefully the rain will stop. We used chicken manure and I hope to get a halfway decent harvest. Your video is chockfull of information. Thank you!
you can tell by the thick necks that it was going to be some nice big garlic mmmmmm curing mine now
I just harvested my garlic too! Your video makes me think that next year I need to grow some Georgian Fire!
Hope you had a great harvest this year!!
You have a wonderful bountiful harvest of garlic. So envious. I would be happy too.
Thank you! There’s nothing like homegrown garlic!!

I tried 5 varieties and music grew the best which makes me happy because how easy it peals. Cant wait to harvest and see
@@Crashbangable Mine have only two dry leaves so far. They're in no rush apparently, but they're coming due soon.
Beautiful! Better take some to the Extension agent who told you about the softneck variety as a Thank you
- I *wish* you posted on paper the entire *grow schedule, what you used, when you planted, when you harvested, ect.* 📃
Usually plant Halloween weekend. Harvest in July in Ohio and zone 6
Id love to see a video of how you process the garlic, like what you do with it to preserve it (garlic powder?)
So excited for you! This was a joy to watch!
Thanks for watching!!
Well done, so proud and inspired by your journey🎉 @@itsbreellis
This is so cool! I’m planting garlic for the first time this fall and I’m so excited to harvest my own next year. I’m so inspired by your garden 🥰
So excited for you!
& Thank you!
imanaged to grow 12 heads half the size of your I thought I did well,until I came on here. Well done a great crop.
Well done! Here in the UK it has been one of the worst years for growing garlic. We have had very poor weather for most of the year with a lot of rain all spring and early summer, cold nights, low light levels. We have a fungal disease called Rust that affects plant growth and this has been the worst year I have known for it.
Sure wish I had remembered to plant Garlic, I did remember Tumeric and Ginger though. I really need to do more garden videos on my channel...
Remember for this fall!
Watching this on a break while in Disney sea (Japan) and thank you for being my garlic sanity in a ridiculous amount of crowds.
Thanks for watching!!
This is inspiring! I’ve been gardening since 2021 in 6b. I just preordered 2lbs of garlic last week so I can finally grow a large amount for my garlic loving partner haha. I hope to have this success next year!

😃 You are so successful and delightful!
It's awesome to see you so happy. Glad to see your hard work paid off 👍👌

So happy for you Bre 🎉 i miss the sunflowers but the garden is looking beautiful with the snapdragons
Hopefully should have some sunflowers blooming in the next month!

They need frequent fertilizer application.

@@itsbreellis I did! Thank you! 💜
My galic alwasy suck, never planted at right time. got some this season but not good. Planting now lol!
Wow!
Those are fantastic garlic heads.
Mine should be ready in about a month.
Hope they com pare to yours

Thank you! & That is awesome! Congratulations!!
Would love to see how you fertilize stuff like this when it isnt foliar. That's always the hard part for me, it takes forever
Beautiful harvest 👍
I ❤ how you make them fan out. Let’s each one have its own space & looks beautiful 👵🏻👩🌾❣️

Beautiful Garlic😁🇦🇺
Thank you!
What do you feed your garlic during the grow season? Thanks
Amazing harvest there
Hi, Donna here! So how many pounds of garlic did you get? I hope you weighed it before it dried!
I tried "Elephant " garlic a few years ago. The flavor was weak and not very profound. Is your larger garlic as potent as the smaller bulbs????
Bree I saw a video the othe day where the Chinese people eat the young luffa plants thought you might be interested
Yes, I need to try it!
I just love your content with gardening, I was wondering if you can share what type of microphone you use in your videos and what camera, the quality sounds so good even when your far away!!
Thank you! Its the DJI Wireless. I have them linked in my amazon store front in the description box if your interested. Should be under the Filming Category
Thank you so much!!
Wow ! Those garlics are almost big as your palm.
Hello new subscriber here! I came from watching your shorts! I love your garden its beautiful and sustainable! Just a question your neighboors ok with your chickens?
Looks fantastic!
Thank you!
Well done! Can you share where you ordered your garlic from? Thank you!
I get all my seed garlic from Mad River Garlic Growers
looks awesome
What brand is that tank top? It looks like what I'm trying, and failing, to find.
I'm envious of your garlic! The two times I tried growing it, the critters ran off with it.
Thank you! Its from lululemon. Ive had it for 7+ years and still in great shape!
@@itsbreellis Why didn't I think to look there?! Thanks!
Giiirrrrrrrlllllll❤!!!!
Hey Y'all, This is the first time I found your channel and the first one I watched. Wow that is really great garlic. Yours look similar to mine. I also want to grow softneck for the first time when I plant this fall. I am about 5 years growing garlic also. I have planted, Vietnamese Red, Korean Red, Chesnok Red, Armenian, German Xtra Hardy and Persian Star.
Question where do you order your Garlic from? I live in Minnesota and get my garlic seed from Wisconsin Keene Garlic. I am always curious to find new varieties that they may not have. So glad to find your channel you did a great job growing garlic and a great job making this video. I did subscribe and look forward to the future videos.
Where did you order your garlic from? I ordered from Keene garlic. This will be my first time planting
mad river garlic growers is who I've always ordered from.
What is ur growing zone? I wanna try soft too but I’m in Zone 6 almost Zone 5
What do you do with all this garlic looks amasing
