FANTASTIC GARLIC HARVEST! BAM! WOW! ~ Gardeners and Cooks Delight! - 📷 [Video inside]
CHECK OUT THIS YEARS GARLIC HARVEST!
We had an outstanding garlic harvest this week and we wanted to show you how we prepare and display the garlic for use. As you fans of the homestead may already know, Jaimie loves to cook and she also likes things to be pretty as well as functional. That is way we prepare the garlic the way we do in the kitchen.
This garlic will be hung in the kitchen and ready to be used by the hands of the cook when she needs it.
Also, one of the garlic displays was chosen to be given away to one of our Patrons over at http://patreon.com. Congratulations to Chris Howard!

Fastastic harvest. My wife and I are growing garlic and boy it is looking good. Thank you for your videos. Tom
Thanks Tom for watching! Come back and post pictures of your harvest when you get it!
After watching this one and the one that Off Grid with Doug and Stacy and Growing Your Greens also did has motivated me to give it a try this fall!
Yep! Garlic planting is right around the corner!
That's not enough garlic. Next year grow more ;P - Shalom
WILL DO!
I see some flavoursome meals for many weeks ahead ;)
Oh yeah!
Nice brother. I got mine in the ground late so non for me this year but it's keep the bugs out. Upvote God Bless.
Thanks for watching!
Wow those garlics look good.
We've just grown garlic for the first time this year but here in wet and windy west Wales they are not as big as yours. But the polytunnel (hoop house) will be finished next week so maybe we can get a better crop in that next year.
Yeah i would think a lot of water may not be good for them. I never water my garlic...its just what falls from the sky.
WOW great harvest of Garlic, plant medicine finest... definitely upvote & following you..many thanks for posting...much peace 2U:)
Thanks for coming and watching! Appreciated!
I could see garlic scapes on the plants before they were picked. We had read that if you cut them off when they come up the garlic itself will grow bigger. This did work for us and now we enjoy the scapes early in the ye ar, and put them in glass jars on the counter because they are so graceful.How did your garlic get so big even with leaving the scapes on?
I used the small garlic that was leftover from last year and planted them in the spring. They seem to be growing at the same pace as the ones planted in the fall.
I think its a wivestale that if you cut them they grow bulbs. They will grow bulbs regardless. We do eat them. YUMMY!
I meant that the plant would put more energy into the garlic bulb. Our garlic were coming out so tiny but this did help to increase the size of the bulbs.
Do you notice this with those you cut the scapes off?
I totally believe it might be true but I've just never done it because I never had an issue. I will make an effort to do that next year! THANKS!
Yes, although I think your fertilizer might account for the large size.
Will we still be here comparing notes about gardening next harvest? Having just started this less than 2 weeks ago I am amazed by how much I am learning.
We use rabbit manure in most of our garden. We can get it for $50 by the truckload. It is amazing stuff. Also, we found a source for freshly used mushroom compost and that stuff is amazing! We top off with back to eden style wood chips to cover the soil and keep in moisture. I highly recommend watching the Back To Eden movie if you can.
Good advice. I'll look it up.
