Fab garlic harvest Jane, no wonder you were excited. It's always great when a crop comes to fruition, especially after the first couple look like duds. You are very patient planting those baubles but it was worth it in the end. Take care 😊
So envious Jane. Mine had been a disaster this year, very very small & horrendous rust. Not rot or alium leaf minor tho. Not sure whether to give up or give the bed a huge dose of manure a couple of months before planting 😢 still have the elephant garlic to lift so fingers crossed
Oh that's a shame - I think the hot weather has stopped them swelling as much. Yes - give the bed a treat and next year you should be in for a bumper harvest! Good luck.
Jane sorry haven't been on much,just saw this. I got so excited for you girl,Jesus those elephant garlic are suppose. You got a great crop,delighted for ye.
Hi Jane, I love the oinon & shallot find, tgats what I call a bonus 😂 your garlic is Ana ing & love the wat you show excited you are too. I. I'm playing catch up on your videos as I've been so busy with my plot. I love your videos, thanks for sharing and take care 😊
Oh Wow Jane fantastic garlic harvest there. Your elephant garlic look tremendous. My first year growing garlic, just started my second year having a plot. Haven’t dug the garlic out yet.
That looks good Jane. I have had mostly bad harvest this year. I added fish and bone meal to all my compost. The parsnips seeds no show at all. About ten carrots only. Onions a little better. Ten apples on one tree and 15 on the other dwarf trees. Tomatoes still small and green. My potatoes in pots were few and small. Only 2lbs from blackcurrant bush. I will stop there. Good Luck with rest to you Jane. Love your videos. So good watching everybody hard at work in the garden. Also no sunshine for me to sit in only rain every few mins. UGH!Here in Dublin.
Oh it's disheartening isn't it - but we know that for each fail there will be a success around the corner (fingers crossed!) Here's to some lovely weather to cheer us all up!
great harvest, non gardeners will never know how it feels will they lol right that's it I'm growing elephant garlic next season not tried it for a few years
Well done Jane. I have given up on garlic. Last year lost the crop through rust and rot so haven’t bothered this year. Onion crop was good last year and this year looks good. Two came up with the recent weeding and had a little onion rot but I am trying to keep the rest in the ground. We have our Open Day on the 16th July so would like to leave them in but not sure I can risk it.
I'm really happy that the allium leaf miner hasn't made an appearance - yet! I think it may have been too hot and dry for them. Onions are just such a great crop to grow - especially if you can store them well. Thanks Honore - good luck with your open day!
Nice one Jane - can almost smell them from here! Hardneck will always have fatter stems than softneck as they have a flower spike passing up the centre. I am on the verge of only growing elephants next time. Don't get me wrong, my harvest was enough for me but the sums don't add up. So much more expensive to grow than buy 😥
There was a huge difference in the size of the garlic bulbs as well - those soft necks were tiny! And I don't think I've ever seen elephant garlic for sale - I'm sure it will be in some farm shops but it's not an easy one to get hold of so you're right to grow it yourself. Thanks Steve.
Thats a great crop. Ive just harvested mine and been tidying them up as soon watched you. Mine all have rust, so im stripping them down and clraning them up. Do you know if they will still store?
If they clean up okay they should still store well. I've discovered quite a few of mine have allium leaf miner as I've been sorting them out - grrr - I'll just make sure I'll use those first!
Well done Jane! So excited for you. I have a question. My egg plants have aphids. I saw 1 lady bug. What can I do the help her get rid of the aphids? ( olive oil, dish soap and water mixture in a spray bottle?)
You could but that might harm the lady bug as well so make sure there are none on the plant before you spray. Then just give the plants a nice boost with some organic fertiliser to strengthen it back up again. If it's really bad you might need to remove a few leaves as well - good luck!

Well done , an excellent crop, I’ve grown garlic from seed, it’s taken three years , can’t wait to see how they’ve done.
Now that is patient - good luck!

At least I didn't start well and get more and more disappointed! Thanks Bethan.

Lovely crop of garlic.. in the end jane! Haha! That Elephant Garlic was a bonus surprise!! Lovely! 😊
I'll definitely be investing in a couple more from Malvern - they were fab! Thanks Danny.
Lovely harvest
In the end! Thank you.
Oh Wow Jane fantastic garlic harvest there. Your elephant garlic look tremendous. My first year growing garlic, just started my second year having a plot. Haven’t dug the garlic out yet.
Oh now you're in for a treat! Thanks Anne.
Great harvest.Mine got rust so had to harvest early.Some of mine were small particularly the purple skin ones but sure we will use them all.
I think the dry weather has definitely affected the size - I'm wondering if they will have a more intense flavour. Thanks Anne.
Garlic looks great Jane, and wow, the elephant Garlic!! I want to try growing that next year 😁💪🏼
Oh do - honestly it's such a treat - not just to grow but roasted slowly, mmmmm!
That looks good Jane. I have had mostly bad harvest this year. I added fish and bone meal to all my compost. The parsnips seeds no show at all. About ten carrots only. Onions a little better.

You have a beautiful accent and laugh, congrats on your garlic. Just subscribed 👍
Thank you - that's very kind!
great harvest, non gardeners will never know how it feels will they lol right that's it I'm growing elephant garlic next season not tried it for a few years
Absolutely! Ha ha - yes definitely give it another go. Thanks Nick.
Great video Jane, we are giving all alliums a miss next year, allium leaf miner now such a major problem here. Roll.on 2025 hehe!
Oh what a shame - good idea to try and break the cycle though! Thanks Bren.
