I'm in zone 9B. I have grown garlic purchased from reputable providers in the past and it was never anything to write home about, just fine but average. Years ago I decided to throw caution to the wind and plant some from the grocery store and it was fine, so I stopped paying more at the nursery. In the early days, I didn't know the garlic with scapes was a different kind, but when I found out it explained why mine never had any. I researched and found the hardneck wouldn't grow in my climate, so I was sad about it but, okay. Last year I saw some especially good-looking garlic in the grocery store, so I bought several bulbs. I planted the largest cloves -- spaced sporadically throughout the flower garden, just filling in spaces where perennials were resting for the winter -- and cooked with the smaller ones. It wasn't until early this summer that I saw garlic scapes for the first time ever! Not on all of them, but on many. So I harvested the scapes and cooked with them and was careful to mark those bulbs when I harvested to make sure I will have more hard-necked garlic to plant this year in November. In addition to growing hard-necked by accident in an area I'd always heard you couldn't, the finished product was absolutely the largest, best garlic I've grown. Sometimes it pays to get really old and do what they tell you you can't and have such a nice surprise. Mother Nature can be fickle and fun at the same time.
No reason to mark hard neck garlic . It’s going to the garlic with the hard neck going through the middle.
Nice! I did that last year and had a mix of hard and soft necks and got a surprise of scapes and made pesto with them. It tasted amazing! I saved some for seed again this year. I’m also in a climate where they’re not “supposed” to grow very well. 🤷🏻♀️They weren’t the largest cloves but you know what? They were the most flavorful garlic I’ve ever tasted! So much flavor in such a small package. I’ve vowed to never buy Storebought garlic again when it was so easy to grow this amazing stuff! You’re right, Mother Nature is awesome and gardening never stops being fun for me. ☺️
@@MichaelRei99 I know that now! When I first harvested the scapes I didn't realize it would be obvious when the bulbs were dug.🙂
Love the garlic scapes as a flower arrangement. If you routinely change the water the scapes will continue to mature and can be planted. In two years (!) they will produce full size garlic. Great for interplanting.
I grow hard neck garlic in Simi Valley zone 9b. I prechill and plant first of November and pull around the first of April.
I grew elephant garlic last year successfully. I planted my elephant garlic late July. They will stay underground and pop up in the Spring. I harvested last year in May. I'm in zone 9b/10a in West Central Florida.
I’ll try this
Thank you
Live in Pennsylvania… scapes grow wild everywhere where I live… garlic,onions and potatoes are the easiest thing to grow for me with the climate
My farmers market has some elephant garlic $2 a head, so I bought 5 heads to plant around my garden.
Yes, I successfully grow hard neck garlic in Sacramento, I grow a variety called Music.
In zone 5 I plant around the first week of October, mulch and pretty much leave alone until months later. When the scapes curl, I remove them to let the bulbs develop further. I harvest in June or July.
OH HECK YEAH BRIAN, JUST IN TIME. AWESOME INFORMATION. WE KNEW NOTHING. THANK YOU BRIAN. WE LOVE YALL ♥
So glad!
I always laugh when you say your in the south. I don’t think Southern California is considered the south. It’s southwestern. I only mention this because the weather in south west is way different than the weather in the south and the gardening process is different due to the weather.
Thank you so much for this video. This is the first year I’m going garlic. Blessings ❤️🌺
You can plant the small cloves close together to harvest for green garlic also.
Good point!
I live in Paso Robles and I grew hard and soft neck. Both did great
Barstow here (8b), and we grew shallot and garlic, both soft- and hardneck. Had a HUGE harvest of hardneck, and the scapes were somehow even better than the hype I heard. We cooked them in stir-fry and was the best we've ever had. This harvest we'll be making a pasta dish focused on the scapes!
Good luck on your hardneck. Some parts of Barstow are 9a, not our part, but they were able to handle our desert heat!
Good to know
My first planting of garlic was hardneck because I didn't know the difference. It turned out alright. I live in the central valley of California. Now I generally use the softneck.
Yes, you can definitely grow hardneck in warmer zones. As for vernalizing, I don't bother for softneck, but with hardneck it's essential in zones that don't freeze. If they are not vernalized in the fridge for at least 6-8 weeks you wind up with a onion-style bulb instead of cloves. Also, I use the little cloves in the softneck for growing green garlic in the springtime 😁
I live in zone 10a in north county San Diego. I grew hard neck and soft neck garlic last year. I put the garlic in the refrigerator for a month and then planted it at the end of October. They both grew really well and the scapes from the hard neck garlic were delicious. Good luck!
I live in Israel which has a very mild winter and never freezes and yet all we grow here is hard neck. So you should definitely give them a try
Good to know! Thanks!
I've never grown garlic before will want to try it. WOW. The bulbs and seeds are expensive. Who knew? Where you do buy your bulbs/sees? I grow in Zone 6b. I'm also going to put a few garlic seeds at the base of my newer trees to keep the voles from chewing on the truck and bark.
This was perfect timing for me, and thank you. This video has answered so many questions for me ❤
Me too Brian - thanks :O)
I grew hardneck last year and I’m in zone 9 Sacramento area and it did fantastic!
I grow farmers market garlic here in zone 10a NorCal and it's clearly hardneck w/ scapes. Best crop ever this past year! No chilling and just some balanced fertilizer. Easy.
God to know!
I live in zone 9a. I've grown hard neck. Some I purchased along with some soft neck from a seed company. I also planted hardneck from the grocery store. All planted in ground. 50% of all hard neck grew but never developed the scape. I did chill them in the fridge for about a month.
Here in Canada zone 4 we do have to protect garlic from pest, the leek leaf miner. They lay eggs 3 times in a summer season, on leaves, the larva digs a tunnel through the leaf and head for the bulb.
I'm right here in San Diego w you, Brian (near SDSU). I grew hardneck and softneck garlic successfully last year. I'm looking forward to growing it again this year.
Zone 9. Never have refrigerated soft neck before planting in November- bulbs have been large and vigorous. Going to try hard neck too.
And I live in zone nine on the north edge of the Sacramento, San Joaquin Delta. We seldom have a hard frost here. I put the garlic I intend to plant in the vegetable tray of my refrigerator for two months before I plant it. I generally plant my hard neck garlic the last week of October or the first week of November. So, I put it in my refrigerator for the months of September and October. I generally harvest my garlic the last week of May or the first week of June.
Trying to grow garlic for the first time after 15 years of veg gardening. It's the length of grow time (8 - 9) months that has stopped me in the past I'll give it 2 feet of my 4'x6' corn bed and plant corn a little later next year.
Yep! Grew Polish hard necks this past season and I’m in the Central Valley, zone 9b. Although, we did have an unusually cool and wet Spring this year. So, I don’t know if that was a factor in my success (also, I’m growing in Greenstalks). I’m going to add Polish soft necks to the mix this season for a comparison.
I have greenhouse in zone 3, and just stuck 3 cloves of grocery store garlic in the planting bed. They are come up and looking good so far. I guess we’ll see what happens!
Las Vegas - 9 - I grow hardneck every year. Usually in before Thanksgiving. Best of luck!!
I'm in zone 9B in Eastern Ventura County and I've grown hard neck garlic here with success. I do pre-chill my garlic (both soft & hard neck) although I've never done a side by side comparison to see if that makes any difference. Since it doesn't seem to hurt my production I am going to continue pre-chilling for 45 days before planting.
I was surprised when I went out one day in late June and all my garlic was flopped over like onions. I didn’t know garlic did that.
I think I am the exception to a lot of garlic planting guidelines. I put both soft neck and hard neck cloves (all from the grocery store) in the ground the first week of December last year and harvested the middle of May this year. About five months. They were large and beautiful! Unless we get an early frost here in Tennessee, I plan to stick to the same schedule.
East TN here, I plant mine in September and count 240 days from that to harvest. Has worked perfect so far. Both soft and hard neck
@@marieruble408 Wow, I'm going to try that next time.
@T_me-NextLevelGardening.?
Thanks for your information! Perfect timing. In Montana I grow both hardneck and softneck garlic. Last year I grew some organic grocery store softneck garlic from California. It did great here. I'll be planting garlic in the next month.
Do you know if shallots bulbs can be planted in the fall here in a cold climate? I grew some from seed this year and I don't think they will store through the winter to plant the bulbs in spring.
Because of you this Old Bird was able to grow a few bulbs of garlic 🥰 I love it! A great project for senior citizens. I plan to give it a try again and plant more. Sir what is your 1st name? I just want to say Thank You! I am in zone 8 SC it's so hot but it did well. Thanks again #NextLevelGardening and have a blessed day John 3:17
I have to plant mine in November before the first frost! Blessings 💕🤗
I've tried growing garlic twice in CA and once here in NC with no success. But I'm not giving up. My seed garlic should arrive at the end of this month and I will follow your planting guidelines. Fingers crossed I will get a harvest this time.
Good luck!
I'm ready to plant!
Thank you for the reminder 🙂
I normally plant grocery store garlic, but last year I thought I would order from an online seller. Not a single one of the garlic came up. I’m going back to grocery store garlic. Make sure it’s organic.
Greetings, how and when to plant leeks from seeds , and when to transant them
Being from the North you’d think I’d be all over hard neck garlic. But until maybe the last 5 years I didn’t even know it existed. They never sold it in our grocery stores only soft neck probably from California. I’m pretty much sticking to hard neck growing now because they seem to outperform the soft neck variety.
This is right on time! I just got some organic hard neck garlic for Zone 5b. Thank you!
Great video! How much will garlic grow in fall before dying back, I got music in the ground and they started coming up few inches?
I thought you should know that I reported one of those "you've won" spammers. They are annoying.
I'm gonna try it again this year. Not sure where I go wrong.
I am in Southeast Texas and grow hardneck garlic.
I was talking to a seller of seed potatoes and such, they tell me that they are not sprayed with an inhibitor, they are sprayed with a fungicide, which makes sense.
Good post
i plant mine in the dirt lol. i couldnt resist. i have both hard and soft neck seed garlic ordered. i misunderstood the title. i thought u were going to pick an area by sun hours during summer (bulb development time), not 'in this zone u plant ur garlic in september.' i'm in nc in 7b; i dont plan on chilling bulbs preplanting. it gets freezing here in the winter.
Im in 7b also. I plan on planting in beginning of November and full sun.
@@susans5096 [waves to my neighbor] i went all out and forked out the big bucks for seed garlic; the prices are dreadful. they are supposed to arrive 'at planting time' which they defined as oct. if they grow well i'll just replant from stock. i love fresh garlic. i put it in almost everything i eat. i want to try to braid garlic too; u can do that with the soft neck varieties.
Thank you for this video. Organic Garlic has become extremely expensive in our area, and also hard to find. The garlic I can find, has very tiny cloves. I guess I have to try from seeds.
Should I be watering my garlic after planting and covering with stray. Planted in September
Lots of great tips...as always. Thank you!
Hi, I’m in central California and going to try hard neck garlic in containers for the first time and I’ve seen a lot of videos about sterilizing soaking before planting. Any advice? I do have my in the fridge right now and will plant it end of November (weather permitting) as it’s in high 80-90 still.
October 15 for my zone 5b
Great video just what I needed as I get confused with hard and soft neck! Not anymore!! ☘️ ☘️☘️☘️☘️😊
Glad it helped!
I'm in Michigan and I am starting garlic for the first time. Do I need to water them through the winter? And do they need to be in a sunny area?
Thank you, Brian!😊 prepping my beds now (ohio). Have a great weekend🌞
You too!
Good info, thanks!
Should U avoid planting garlic in beds where certain other plants were grown this season? Is it OK to plant in same bed they grew in this year? Garlic and onions are my favorite crops to grow. Thank you.
Not really
Thank you
Can I grow garlic in the same bed 2 years in a row? With amendments like compost and those you mentioned? Gratefully, we had a great crop last year, first time growing garlic. Zone 5b/6a.
How often should I water the garlic when spring arrives and should I also water them during winter?
Great question, I'm wondering that too
im in zone 7a and i planted onion bulbs and garlic how long would that take? Theren yellow onion
Early summer
I'm zone 9a. Didn't have success with any garlic
Would you recommend Mono Potassium Phosphate (0-52-34) as an "under root" dressing?
Thanks for the video!!
No. Synthetics are too strong and will burn roots
@@NextLevelGardening Okay. Good to know. Thank you!!
Thank you for this. Reallly wanted ro try and grow garlic. Im in zone 6 in Pa. How many should you plant?
that would depend on how much garlic u eat, my friend. it's always good to plant more than u think u need. one thing to consider is how long the kind of garlic u grow can be stored.
Depends how much room you have
Do you recommend cutting the scapes off as they form? I read they will take the energy from the bulb and thus the bulb will not develop or grow to a good size. Thanks.
everywhere that scapes are discussed, so far they remove them and eat them.
Yes
Am I wrong to assume that I should not plant my garlic too early here in zone 4 because I do not want too much growth before we go into a four month long hard freeze?
Probably a good idea
Can I plant the garlic where I grew beans?
Yes
Can garlic be grown in grow bags? I’m in 9b.
Yes I have a video about growing garlic in containers
is this information in your book?
Garlic on the hole .... pause 😂
“Here in the South” lol!! Southern California is not the south
Well... according to the sun and the lines of lattitude... technically we are. The south isn't just the bottom right corner of the USA. And there's actually a south in every country!
