Can you make a video in how to deal with common garden (unwanted) critters, like neighborhood cats, skunks, groundhogs, squirrels, mice/rats,and even deer? Just ideas on what a home gardener may use (short of bb’s or electric fencing) thanks! 💚🦉
Please grow solo garlic . Single clove round ping pong ball size . Only ever bought it in Japan supermarket, can’t find it in USA . Other videos are long winded and non explanatory. Culinary pleasing in Asian cuisine , an easy one and done peeling and best when making fried garlic chips . Also Japanese cuisine use garlic stem/shoots/neck , Sold in bunches like at the veggie market ( but always found to be straight !lol). Texture like asparagus/ broccoli stem crunch , mild garlic tastes so no need to add actual garlic cloves , can finely chopped and used like spring onions for garnish . I want to have solos in my garden , please try and let us know how … the easiest and best way please .
My mum taught me to plant garlic on the shortest day of the year, and harvest on the longest day of the year. Nice that you did the shoot in the rain. I grow Russian garlic here in Australia. Thanks for the vid guys 👍🙏🏻
First of all I love that Kevin has a knee pad on his right knee and keeps kneeling on the left... second, your entire garden is clearly loving all the attention you give it and the rain makes it stunning... third, I am one of those folks who thought I needed to freeze the garlic and killed it instead... I'm in Hawai`i, tough to grow here but I feel inspired to try again later in the year. Love you both!
00:37 "It is so pleasant to just sit in the rain" 02:02 *Starts hailing* "There's a little bit of ice in that rain I think, it's refreshing" 😂 You're amazing, thanks for the passion, dedication, and positive vibes!
I started hailing here one day and one of the friendly wild bunnies in my yard ran to get underneath a huge tree covered in vines. Ha! They`re smarter than they look.
@@epicgardening Elephant Garlic always grew well year after year in a wild patch we started in Louisiana. We harvested a lot but barely touched the patch. I ate lots of it raw with meat if I got sick to cure it because I was in a band and had to play drums and sing most of the songs and we had to be there or pay for losses, so. It does work but you have to eat heroic levels. Me and my grandfather ate a lot of raw garlic from his patch when I was very young. I wish I knew what type he had. I went back to his old place and the fruit trees and everything were gone except the oak and hickory trees. I still have dreams about trying to get the last huge pears way up in the tree in fall after I got off the school bus.
10 years ago, I bought 2 heads of Elephant Garlic at a fundraiser. I planted those cloves that fall, grew them on, and them have been growing their descendants since! Seriously the most rewarding crop and not to mention easiest. I love that dibber and happen to have a broken shovel that I can use to make my own!!
7:40 In cold climate zones you plant the garlic the same : 1-2 inches down, the ground will freeze in the winter but the hard-neck garlic is fine because it has protective chemistry, much like anything that survives winter.
Hey thanks for the video!! I have two varieties chillin & waiting to go in the next cpl days. It was so nice to watch you guys & get excited about it. Started watching years ago with your houseplants & we expanded our home gardens together into our yards! So great to grow along with you!! 🌱💚
Jacque, you should get a longer rod, like a standard shovel, and put a foot push at the 4” or 6” height so you can make those holes faster, with body weight, and while standing.
So, add a 3/4" dia. dowel up 4" from the end, 6" long out from the handle so you can measure 6" spacing and then step on the dowel to help sink the end to 4" in compact soil.
That is sooo cool! Love it in the rain! How unique! This is a must especially where I live and rains like that year round in northern Spain. Thank You! Now I have no excuse if it rains.
Literally making my first attempt at planting garlic today! Great timing, and thanks for linking the garlic series at the end. I got Transylvanian to try (in NE FL).
You finally pushed me over the edge - I just ordered a mini-fridge for vernalizing. No more "where do I store the fruit"/"where do I store the bulbs" problems each year. (I may live along the 9A/9B line, but I will have daffodils!)
You guys are awesome. Thank you so much. I just planted cloves from the store. The sprouted in the fridge and set them in my porch rail planter. They are growing along with my multi Herb Planter.
First attempt at growing garlic and I don’t have a lot of space… I went with a hard neck so I could get scapes, (zone 5b). So glad I chose Music after you mentioned it! Maybe you guys could have a tutorial on shallots next.
Thank you. Now I'm going to plant all my "small boys" together in a planter on my porch and will look forward to enjoying some green garlic...that I didn't even know what a thing.
I grew garlic successfully for the first time this year, and I set aside two bulbs that I now put in the ground again (of course separated all the individual cloves 😋), so hoping next year will be just as successful! Would love to have that much space to allocate to garlic but I have to make to do with 'only' two large pots 🤭
Garlic is my favorite thing to grow. I'm in NJ and a little behind. Planting my garlic this weekend. I'm going to try the soak in vodka & fertilizer method on half the garlic I plant. Experimental year!
I clicked on a garlic gardening video and got a wet t-shirt contest as a bonus. My wife looked over my shoulder and she gave the wet T win to the Garden Hermit. Sorry Kevo. Haha!
I've been planting hard neck garlic up here in Canada (zone 3B) for years now. I just push the garlic into the soil with my fingers (1-2 inches), and I like to plant sometime in October. I have always gotten a crop. I've never tried soft neck tho. Thanks for the video
Hilarious video that was also super informative! We are getting ready here in Canada to plant our garlic before the first snowfall - We typically grow the Music variety, but loved hearing about these other varieties. Will definitely have to look into them for next year's crop.
Dude… I wish we had some rain right now. It’s been a month and we’ve had no rain. And it’s going to hit below freezing next week for a few days. I have a ton of harvesting to do.
You must live near me (north-middle Tennessee). It's been so dry this year. I'm planting garlic today! We are expecting a tiny bit of rain today then all day tomorrow. Happy growing! I watched this to get a refresher and some last-minute tips. This dibber is a game-changer!
Lol I just planted my garlic yesterday, also in my tomato bed from this year and even though I’m no till for the most part, I too pulled the crazy tomato roots instead of cutting off at the base as I usually do. Also, growing the same varieties as you.😂
Tip for removing the paper on small cloves: put them in a bowl and put another bowl on that bowl (creating a sphere) and shake. Steel bowls work the best, but any bowls will work.
I planted some grocery store garlic, my balcony doesn't have the space to plant more than half a bulb, if i ever end up with a real garden i might buy specific varieties, but for now the amount most garden suppliers sell is too much
I thought leaving the roots in would be good to let them break down and leave a capillary network behind allowing water to percolate into the soil faster and creating that soil structure that allows you walk on it
Never planted in the rain? Here in the PNW I've done so much gardening of all kinds in the rain, since that's what it does half the year here. I have a black wind breaker w/hood that's water proof that keeps me from getting soaked at least in some places, and doesn't show the mud. Thanks for the video! 💕🌲 Loved the green garlic sniffing slowmo's. Super cute!
In india it's not very common to grow garlic, onion in terrace garden in cities because of space issue. We grow veggies like brinjals, chillies , tomatoes and gourds and some beans. It literally takes 7.months in india to see tiny garlic pod in terrace garden.
My father in law just gave me a huge bag of garlic that he’s been growing for 20 years. I’m new to this stuff so this video was perfect timing. Much love from New York🤘🏻
You guys are so dedicated. I run for cover usually during the rain but sometimes I love the summer rain when it’s light and I remain. I’m laughing too hard while the bags get so wet.
I loved the smelling of the green garlic, I often do that with my garlic and basil lol. I won't feel so weird now... I quit digging my garlic up a while ago, and exclusively just use the greens in a permaculture bed of shallots and garlic, it's just quicker and easier to get that flavor from the greens without washing and peeling. The sets lean over and drop on the ground, and I just throw compost over it in the fall. They literally plant themselves!
I planted my garlic today and noticed a few grubs. I was thinking about completely tilling my bed to get rid of all the grubs but didn't. Couldn't this be a conflict when the roots start growing?
Love you guys. I was in San Diego just this week for business, the weather was so atypical with the rain, I wish I could have stopped by to say ‘hey’. My garlic from last year is coming up now, I’m in 7b on the east coast. I will add, I plant it to keep animal pests away in addition to harvesting.
❤- you are going to love the Music variety- outstanding flavor, large cloves, easy to peel. Stores well! I save my largest heads to plant for next year. Thanks for the video.
Hello. Thanks for the video. I put some of my garlic bulbs in the fridge for almost a month now but I'm wondering when should I plant them as we can have the first frost end of October. I kind of give them a vernalization already.
I have rain envy! Believe it or not, I'm in Western Washington and we haven't had measurable rain in 4 months. There were just 2 days when it misted Just prepared my beds today and will plant my garlic once we get a real rain. Enjoy guys!
Right? I'm in Houston and I purposely didn't plant corn in the ground bc it rains so much and everything gets fungus. Well, this year it didn't rain for months. Then it did once, and not again since. It's weird! Definitely could have planted some stuff!
Perfect timing!!! My garlic arrived yesterday and my Birdie raised bed is almost ready... just waiting for the fresh compost to settle a bit before topping off the bed. Then it will be planting time!!! Can't wait for my very 1st garlic harvest!!!

In my region the ground will probably be frozen
In my region there will be three feet of snow on the rock hard frozen ground by then 😂 I'm envious!
Same. Where I am the ground will be frozen down 3 feet and we will have at least 5 feet of snow. My garlic is planted this weekend.
Oh neat, I'm in Melbourne, that makes it easy to remember for next year. Thanks for the tip
Weedy!
I love how it’s literally hailing and you guys are so dedicated to this video!!!

An organic conversation in an organic garden….rain included. 👍🏻

They're honestly so fun
YES,YES,YES. LABLE MARK THEM WITH STAKES. I HAVE A GARDEN MAP. HAD SO MUCH HAD TO KEEP TRACK OF WHAT I PLANTED.

Planting my garlic this week, it's my third year growing garlic it's one of my favourite things to grow
😂😂love the planting in the rain😂😂
Love the vids planting my garlic in the morning 🎉
Excellent video Brothers. You all had fun hoffing garlic, LOL. Elephant garlic is my favorite because of the size.
Literally making my first attempt at planting garlic today! Great timing, and thanks for linking the garlic series at the end. I got Transylvanian to try (in NE FL).
Jacques CANNOT keep a straight face during this rain LOL 😂❤

Omgosh! Yall are getting rained on! That’s dedication 😂
Best Pals
You posted this the exact day I planted my garlic! One of my favorites to grow!
You should be about ready to harvest these.
I'm looking forward to the results
👍 love the rain! Appreciate you planting in the rain…

Planting some softnecks as we speak. Thanks guys! Garlic loves Texas clay.
how you do that? asking from Phoenix...I can get a grocery store to get roots and green stalks but dies when I plant it.
@@KatMac5 I’d just plant them in the ground instead of trying to transplant. They’ll know when the conditions are right to come up.

My girlfriend loves seeing Bobbi 🐈 great video as always 😂😂
Filming in the rain...THAT is epic. That's what I call dedication! 😂
Best video yet LOL
Just planted ~200 cloves earlier this week! No refrigeration needed for our hardnecks here, just lots of mulch and nature's finest cold weather 😆
I love you guys, so funny 🤗🤗🤗🤗
This brought me so much joy 😂😂😂
You guys kill me. Great video and cheers to the commitment!
This was a hoot! I really enjoyed watching you two break down the bulbs.

I died at the end when they are talking about the size of the dibber!
Honestly, I am going to have to watch this again. I didn't hear a word you said because I was laughing too hard at you two (loveable) goofballs.

How to grow amazing delicious elephant ear garlic
Transylvanian garlic is awesome. I grew it last year and it was the first variety I ever grew. Chose it solely because of the name. 🧛♂️🦇
That's great to hear!
Jacque says he don’t get paid enough to film in the rain🤣😂☠️
This is hilarious, you guys need to invest in a big umbrella! 😅😂🤣
When the scapes do their curl, is that an indication that the garlic is ready or to stop fertilizing🤷♀️

Hello. Thanks for the video. I put some of my garlic bulbs in the fridge for almost a month now but I'm wondering when should I plant them as we can have the first frost end of October. I kind of give them a vernalization already.
Seems you should have attached TWO knee pads. The right side wasn't actually on the ground very much compared to the left. LOL
Aw man. I didn't know to refrigerate the garlic for months, first. In Maryland, should I wait until next year, then? 😫
Hardneck only, and only in warmer climates!
You should be fine since MD gets snow. I live in TN and we get cold enough (a little snow) so I don’t need to vernalize either.
Yeah that’s only for very warm climates that don’t get much cold weather in winter. I don’t think you have anything to worry about in Maryland .
No refrigerator needed am in 7b and planning to plant bulbs and garlic this weekend, did the same thing last year
But when's the single knee pad hitting the store?! 😎
Soon!
I planted my first 13 cloves in March. I am exited to be able to harvest them in December. All store bought. So we'll see how successful is will be.
Great video, Thank you

Welcome to gardening in Florida brothers. Grow on! 🪴💕
Why is the knee pad on your right knee if you’re kneeling on your left knee?
Because I'm a clown 🤡
You guys gotta be hardcore if willing to continue to do video despite rain! Enjoyed listening to rain.
