I never comment on you tube videos but I felt led to let you know that your videos are the best explained, best advised and easiest to understand videos I have seen yet on youtube! Thank you for explaining the reasoning behind the things you do. I was an instant fan from the first video. Thank you!
Really appreciate the feedback Karen, thanks so much. :)
😂 So am I, from S A.
you should reply to videos you like because it helps the channel get more views.
I agree, I really enjoy your channel, it's given me great pointers to growing on a budget.
A good tip I was given some years back. Keep some of your garlic back for next seasons planting. Garlic 'adjusts' to the local soil and climate and over a couple of seasons the size and flavour improves.
Great advice, thanks Kevin.
Great video Ben Thank you!
I plant 250 - 300 cloves every fall (hopefully next week!) We love our garlic...all hard neck. Music and Rocambole are the varieties....we get nice big heads and this year was a banner year!
My favorite garlic recipe (and the one that I reeled in my lovely wife of 32 years with) is 40 garlic clove roast chicken! Yep...you guessed it, stuff 40 nice big fat garlic cloves into the chicken and under the skin along with butter, fresh sage, salt and pepper and then roast at 375 for about 1 - 1 1/2 hours (depending on the size of the volunteer bird) I do mine now on our outdoor grill on a rotisserie!
I cooked that meal for my wife 35 years ago as a first date at my place and she has fessed up that she was looking for a man who could cook (young lads take note here!) and the meal so impressed her that she made her mind up that evening that we would spend the rest of our lives together!
Been cooking for her since we married 32 years ago!
Well it worked! 😁
Have a great day and Thank you for the video!

Do the chickens actually "volunteer" to be included? If so, it must be some amazing recipe!
@@leslie-lynnesinkey1225 Hahaha...probably not...very good point!
Volunteer was probably a wrong choice of words!
Have a good evening!
Mike 🇨🇦🍁👍
Wow Mike - that's a great story. And clearly your wife-to-be wasn't bothered about your garlic breath! How wonderful. She picked the right bloke clearly!
Love your comment! My Uncle plants about 300 cloves yearly. This fall he planted Organic Music from Veseys Bulbs, from York, PEI. I'm planting the same. We live in Kamloops, BC. We have had to start with new stock, and new beds, as our area was hit with white rot, a garlic fungus. Where abouts in Canada do you guys live? Oh, and that chicken recipe is to die for!! I've made something similar to the 40 cloves roast chicken....50 cloves roast chicken...lol cheers...🇨🇦
@@cindynott1 Hi Cindy
We are in Southern Ontario right on Lake Erie. I bought my initial garlic stock from Vesseys a few years ago. Music is my primary garlic and super happy with it!
I get enough to replant and just enough to get through to scape season!
Have a great day!

I've got a garlic that's been in my family for 5 generations!! I brought it from Michigan to Oregon where it's growing incredibly well. Saved from a handful of bulbs into about 10 square feet of plants with 3 generations planted!
That's fantastic - I bet it tastes incredible.
That’s fantastic. I love to hear of plants going through generations. I thought I was doing well with my 30 year old rhubarb.
I love your upbeat personality and you explain things so well and make it so easy to garden. Thank you !
That’s very kind of you to say.
Garlic is our favorite!! We make a dipping sauce (for fresh baked french bread) made out of olive oil, splash of apple cider vinegar, salt, and pepper to taste. Mince as much garlic as you like and add to the mixture. Stir well. We often eat it by the spoonful if you feel a sore throat coming on as well. It's delicious!!!
That does sound delicious!
I’ve been growing garlic for over 15 years - one year I planted on a friend’s farm and had about 1,000 plants! In my region (Western New York State) I plant in the middle of November and harvest is reliably the 2nd-3rd week of July. I grow Red Russian exclusively, from a strain I bought from Ted Maczka, “The Garlic Man of Fish Lake, Ontario.” Ted knew more about garlic than just about anyone ever - he was a garlic hero and is much missed.
Continuing to grow Red Russian would be a wonderful tribute to Ted I'm sure.
Do you sell your Red Russian garlic?
I loved seeing him driving around in his little car with the big garlic on the roof !! He used to come down to the Belleville Ont area quite a bit. ;)
We really like your video's. they bring us joy. we usually watch it while drinking coffee in the morning. we hope to have a garden like you in the future. also.. we call you worm-guy instead of growveg, because the first video we watched was you talking about worms and we loved it. greetings from sweden.
Ah brilliant! We loved making the worm video - something a bit different. So pleased you enjoy the videos and I'm honoured to be joining you for your morning brew. Keep watching guys, it's appreciated. :-)
that stick trick for the rows is a keeper!
Very simple but very effective Jeff.
"Inchelium Red" is an heirloom variety from the Colville Indian Reservation in Washington State, and has been grown since before the arrival of the first Anglo settlers in the area (more than 300 years). It is also on the Slow Food "Ark of Taste" list of outstanding--but also endangered!--varieties at risk of being lost completely. Growing this variety not only helps preserve this important genetic resource, it also ensures you some GREAT garlic!
It's great when you can do your bit to preserve a rare variety AND have great tasting food.
Wow thanks for sharing
Where can you get the bulbs? Thanks!
Where would you get the bulbs to help keep the variety going ?
Where could I acquire this variety.?
The first time I grew garlic was in 2014. It was a huge success for a beginner! I grow my own garlics since then.
One of my favorite garlicky recipes is Mediterranean Pasta. Cook bowtie pasta until not quite aldente, reserve some pasta water. Meanwhile, saute 6-10 cloves of minced (or pressed) garlic in the oil from sundried tomatoes. Add the chopped sundried tomatoes and halved or sliced kalamata olives. Then add the pasta and some chicken broth (if bullion/concentrate, add the pasta water). Bring to simmer, add a ton of spinach and some feta. Cook until pasta is tender and sauce is saucy. Amazing immediately or as leftovers.
Sounds totally delicious Marie! Thanks for sharing this recipe. :-)
I grow about 500 plants every year here on my homestead in Southern Vermont. Hardneck variety, a mix of German Hardy, Spanish Roja and others. I save about 15% of my harvest for seed and plant in mid-late October in soil amended with blood and bone meal and a little garden lime. I cover the cloves with a foot-thick blanket of straw and that way they endure the long winter snow cover. In spring I have to move the straw mulch back to let the young plants get up into the air. Once they are well established, I move the mulch back among the plants to reduce the weeds. I use alfalfa meal as a side dressing and fish emulsion as a foliar spray. Aside from what I use as seed, I use almost all the harvest during the year and only have a few bulbs left by the following July, when the new crop is ready. When a recipe calls for three cloves I use three bulbs. I am an allium addict. I tried shallots this year and they were a great success too. Always look forward to your videos and always learn a lot.
What a great system you have there William. And I don't blame you for 'misreading' cloves for bulbs!
@@GrowVeg I did not mention my drying system. Once out of the ground, the garlic are spread on tarps on my garage floor for two to four weeks. Then I gather the garlic plants and tie groups of five plants together with twine near the top of their leaves. With a small wire "s" shaped hook, I hang the bunched garlic stalks from wires stretched across the garage. I have two fans playing on the suspended garlic for over a month, so no matter how humid it gets in late summer here, the garlic will dry and not mildew. By September I can trim off the now very dried leaves and the whiskers, gently brush off any remaining dry dirt from the bulb and hang the finished garlic in net bags in my basement.
Where are the recipes!?
Bet you don't need any blood thinners in your life!
Thank you for the straight forward and to the point information without unnecessary padding and wasting our time!
Much appreciated!
Greetings from Australia 🦘
Thanks Ben, timely info!
Besides the excellent explanations you (always) give, you radiate ... openness gentleness and ... love. Keep going! ❤
Oh wow - thank you! :-)
Love your videos
Lots in my garden. Love fresh garlic
Great video! Thanks!
Hey, thanks for sharing
Thank you for sharing!
I always enjoy your videos...
Your enthusiasm is fantastic
Everything I needed to know today! Thx, Ben
Yay - thank you for this. Super-helpful.
Thank you for these fabulous videos 🙏
lovely
LOVE LOVE LOVE garlic! I cook a lot, so I use a lot of garlic. For years I've grown whatever soft neck variety I bought at the grocery store a long time ago, and it's always grown just fine. This year (actually 3 weeks ago) I planted several varieties of hard neck. The cool thing about growing garlic is that you get garlic to eat and more garlic to plant for the next year. As long as you keep the cycle going you'll never have to buy garlic for the rest of your life.
It's true - it's a great crop for keeping going and going, so long as you save some of the bulbs for re-planting.
Just love Garlic...
Thank you, some nice tips in growing garlic.
I loved the bad breath friend comment. I also love garlic and have grown it for about 10 years.
Got a few in this week! I love the leaves! So yummy 😋
thank you my fellow garlic wizard!!!
Thank you. We just planted our garlic. Great info!
Really helpful and informative. Thank you.
Thank you. I’m doing a spot of garlic planting this weekend! 🧄
Excellent video. Answered all my questions. Thank you...
Thank You so much for posting this I luv garlic too.
Such a helpful video!! Thank you so much!
I’m hoping to get some garlic to plant this weekend! Great video!!!
Thanks for the tips, just received my soft necks yesterday, so will be planting them soon.
We are in Southern California and my son and I want to grow garlic in a terra cotta pot! I’m glad you touched on the pot method
Thank you : )
Great video! Thank you for the growing tips👍👍
Superb 👍
This was so helpful. You answered all my questions. Thank you!
My Garlic was terrible this year, just so tiny. Your vids are always inspiring me to try harder .
Planting out the last of my garlic this week 2nd time growing it
Nice, good on ya
I love your vibe so much. You're getting me excited for growing.
Yey! Happy gardening! :-)
Love the video
I just received my garlic they are early Italian here in MICHIGAN USA zone 6. I needed this video thanks
SO glad I found your channel! Thank you for your clear and helpful videos.
Welcome to the channel!
Where were you two season's ago. But it's okay. You're here now and I'm loving it!😊
Your so easy to follow withe great knowledge
Thanks so much! :-)
Your accent is the best Ben ! Been watching for 2yrs now ! Thanks for all the growing tips !
Thanks for your support - great to have you on board. Happy gardening. :-)
I just followed your directions and planted some garlic for the 1st time. Thank you. 🤗💜
Brilliant! I'm sure it will taste all the better being home-grown. :-)
so glad I found this channel.....fabulous info from a true expert!
Cheers Richard, appreciate that. :-)
I love a pesto made with scapes! Delicious!
Yum!
First time veg grower this year and have just planted mine👍
Nice one Michael - it'll be your tastiest garlic yet I'm sure!
Music is one of our favorites! It does well in the SF Bay Area.
A great variety for sure.
Music garlic does well in Canada
I have learned so much about gardening from your TH-cam videos. They truly are the best. Thank you.
Thanks so much! Happy gardening! :-)
I’d watch this guy on TV, entertaining and informative, great vids 👍
Thanks so much! :-)
Thanks for sharing such a informative video. It looks like few bits (e.g. deadheading, cleaning and storage etc) are common with spring bulbs (tulips) etc as I documented on my channel.
First year growing garlic so fingers crossed!
You'll ace it Ally!
Here in Nova Scotia, garlic is the only thing that grows consistently in my garden.
Garlic Parmesan chicken is one of my favorite
I saw a homestead video where they peel the garlic then put in a jar and cover with raw honey. Make sure garlic is covered. Mix daily. In 2 weeks and longer she says it’s an awesome remedy for flu colds and who knows what else. I’ve already tried it a few times and kicked whatever was trying to get me. She’s had some jars for years and it’s still good. Even better with age I think she said
Wow - that's a great idea!
Geat videos, I'm not a keen gardner but you make me want to give the growing thing a go.😄
Great informative video 🌱
Love your videos! I study Permaculture and have planted garlic under my fruit trees as part of a guild 🌱
Thank you for the most informative, concise garlic growing video I've watched. Love your channel.
Thanks so much! :-)
Very pleasant video to watch. Growing my first small crop of hard neck this year.
Hope you get a superb harvest. :-)
Thanks for this post.I've grown elephant garlic and have enough for a full row,they much milder and wonderful to cook with !!
I can't wait to try it!
I now feel confident to plant some beautiful hardneck garlic cloves I just received in the mail. First time, so wish me luck! Thanks for all the tips.
Very best of luck, though I'm sure you will be absolutely fine and should enjoy a superb crop!
Thanks, I'm getting ready to plant garlic for the first time. Prayers please 😊
You'll do just fine! :-)
Thank you for all the work you put in to these videos! They have really inspired me to start my own vegetable garden. I haven't been very successful at it yet, something always seen to happen to my veggies, but I do still enjoy the feeling of hope and optimism gardening gives me :P there's always next time
Absolutely - and gardeners are always optimistic!
I love your video's so informative, I never knew there is different kinds of garlic! I'm planting garlic for the first time this year! Thanks again, happy planting! 😀
Happy planting Debbie!
I’m sick this morning and hearing him use the term “a shed load” of vitamins made me feel immensely better 😂
I’m going to be continuing to plant out my garlic next week! Very excited for the harvest next year! This is my personal favourite thing and must have in the garden. And you just plant and forget about it and it takes care of its self!
It's a very robust crop for sure - got to love it!
Planted my garlic today about 80 bulbs. I’m in middle north Tennessee. Love your videos. Have a great day
Great stuff Lisa - you're in line for a bumper crop. Good job!
Braise a large head of broccoli (or several small ones) and a full bulb of garlic (pressed or minced) in a ¼ cup of butter in a stove top skillet; add some leftover wine, cover and steam until desired tenderness…delicious! Thank you for the helpful tips.
Sounds totally sublime Marilyn!
You're the best, Ben! I've learned so much from your gardening know-how and wisdom. Many thanks!
And thanks for watching Bonnie - so pleased you find these videos useful. :-)
@@GrowVeg Doing us Bens proud!
Thanks, Ben. This will be my first year planting garlic. I am nervous about it as a new vegetable gardener, but your video is helping!
It's a great crop to grow - not too tricky and very satisfying.
Your face at the very start just made me want to like n sub 🤗 You answered all the questions I didn’t even know I had 😅. Thank you. (The smell of wild garlic in the summer has to be my favourite smell ever😍)
Thanks so much Wendy - and welcome to the channel! :-)
I enjoy your enthusiasm😊
I love cucumber season. I use a quality wooden slicer to slice them card stock thin…add lots of garlic, olive oil, sea salt, fresh ground pepper and fresh squeezed lemon juice. Once the cucumber juices are flowing I use a very clean hand to squeeze and mix the sliced cucumbers together. It’s a real taste sensation and I’m always sad when the season is over. Store bought cukes just don’t measure up. But it’s the garlic that makes the dish!!😋
That sounds like a superb way to serve the up.
I have grown garlic for the last four years and it’s one of my most reliable and best crop. I plant 16-20 cloves in late September, cover with straw and then harvest in mid/ late July. I just need more room to plant more so we actually have enough for the year and to plant for the following year!
Excellent video! You quickly mention starting garlic indoors? I would love to know more about that!
Yes of course. You can plant at the same time as you would outdoors, but instead plant into plug trays (big ones) or pots filled with potting mix, pushing the clove down to the same depth, so they're covered. They keep the potting mix lightly moist. They'll root and sprout and can then be planted out in spring, as shown in the clip. The advantage of this is that it avoid problems with very wet winter soils, or very very cold soils in harsher climates.
Prob one of the best growing channels on YT. Very informative
Thanks so much! :-)
Love planting growing and harvesting garlic, a long wait but so worth it if all goes well. Planted three types and XL elephant, exited to see how that turns out. Anyway excellently presented film. I'm going to subscribe and watch more. ☺👍
Thanks for the sub Stephen - hugely appreciated. :-)
Ben thank you for all the hard work! You are my favorite garden channel, clear, concise and cheerful advice. Much love from the States!
Much love back to you - thanks so much! :-)
For those in the southern hemisphere, plant by ANZAC Day and pull up around Remembrance Day, or At least when the leaves have browned. Great tips as usual.
Cheers for that Jasen.
Very informative! Going to put some in to try. The garlic i get from the store i roast in oven then squeeze roast garlic into butter and use over pasta with parm cheese. Thanks for another great video.
Sounds yum!
Oh wow keep up the good work👩🌾 , greetings from Philippines 👋
Thank you - will do! Thanks for watching :-)
@@GrowVeg Your welcome 😊
Garlic and chilli prawns with coriander and a slice of lime.....delicious and super quick and easy.
Yum!
Another great video! Thanks for sharing. What exactly is "clean wood ash"?
Thank you. By 'clean wood ash' I mean ash from natural, untreated wood.
Am going to try growing garlic for the first time - will be planting some later in the month 🙂
Smart move!
My very favorite way to keep garlic is in garlic confit. Many recipes on line.
Thanks Bonny, will look one up. :-)
Its my first time growing garlic, i am going for elephant garlic so will see how it goes, great video
Elephant garlic is delicious Kirsten. :-)
