How to grow 🧄 in 5 steps! Surprisingly only takes 7 days #garlic #howtowithjessie #growing #fyp

There are tons of garlic hacks but this is the actual easiest planting method to grow great garlic bulbs. Don’t over complicate it! You can sprout grocery garlic but it’s just less likely to sprout as they’re older and sprayed with growth inhibitors. Best used for the tops. I recommend buying seed garlic if you want to grow bulbs. #garden

If you plant garlic in succession, you’ll never have to buy it again! 😊 Go to my Amazon storefront for all of my FAVE gardening supplies! 👍🏼

Whose garlic babies are starting to poke through the surface?! It was a bit of a slow start for mine due to a chilly February but now they're really starting to put on growth - making it the perfect time to give them a little feed! #howtogrowgarlic #garlictips #growinggarlic #gardeningtips #beginnergardening

I was always super intimidated by garlic for some reason but it’s so simple and a perfect gateway vegetable if you’ve been thinking about adding a veggie bed to your garden — growing garlic might get you hooked 🤣 #fallgarden #garlicplanting #gardeningwithkids #veggiegarden #potagergarden #growyourownfood #snackgarden #growyourownsnacks #backyardgardeninspo #gardeninspo #gardentips #gardening

Growing your own garlic is so easy!🧄🌱 Step 1: Put your garlic booty down into water, changing the water every 2 days. In a very short time the roots will begin to grow. Step 2: When the roots have grown about 2 inches long tou can tranfer the garlic into dirt. Step 3: Separate them GENTLY and place them into your garden bed( or in my case an old cardboard box i cut a hole out of) about 3 inches away from each other. Step 4: Water daily and give them plenty of sun. In about 9 months you’ll have your own garlic from each bulb you planted. So if planted 12 pods then you will grow 12 brand new bulbs of garlic 🧄 PS!!!!Plants are sentient beings. BE SURE YOU GIVE THEM PLENTY OF LOVE AND AFFECTION. SPEAK KIND WORDS TO YOUR PLANTS AND THEY WILL GROW STRONG WITH YOUR LOVE 💛💚🧡🩵 Found this song on soundcloud and im obsessed @@Kaash Paige ##gardening##garlic##growyourownfood##gardenproject##growfood##nature

The Garlic Growth Timeline: How Long Does it Take to Cultivate this Flavourful Crop? October: Just before the ground started to freeze, we planted garlic cloves 4” deep, about 6” apart, applied worm castings to each hole and planted the cloves with the pointy tip facing up. Then, about 4-6” layer of brown leaves were added to the top soil for mulch. This protects the cloves during winter as it lays dormant. April: They started to sprout and we amended with a balanced fertilizer and added worm castings every month. Watered deep every 2 days in the morning June: Thin, curly, green garlic scape produced right at the centre of the stem. They are edible and can be added to many dishes. If left be, it will turn into a flower and the plant will go to seed. By cutting the scape, the plant will direct all the energy into producing a bigger bulb size. July: 2-3 of the bottom leaves have completely turned brown which is a good sign that they’re ready to be harvested. Carefully dig 4-5” away from the stem to prevent damaging the bulb. No need to rinse off the garlic bulb, leave it to dry protected from rain for a couple of days. This will help with the curing process for long term storage. #learning #garlic #gardening101 #howto #tips #gardening #daily

This is your friendly reminder to let some of your garlic go to bloom! - It’s a great cut-flower. - Pollinators love it. - It is stunning. This elephant garlic looks just like giant allium and it’s so prolific and so easy to grow, and you have a huge harvest from it! I mean what is not to like? #garlicflower #garlic #growinggarlic #gardentips #cutflowers

⚠️ Don’t make these two common mistakes when it comes to harvesting your garlic! We’ve been patiently waiting since we planted these lovely garlic bulbs in October, so don’t miss these two important points when it matters most! 1) Wait until the bottom 2-3 leaves have dried and died. This is the perfect time to harvest. If you wait too long, the papery skins will start to split. If you harvest too early, the bulbs may not be fully developed yet. 2) Don’t just yank on them to try to pull them out. The bulbs are buried deep and need to be gently lifted out with a pitchfork. Try not to pierce them with the pitchfork either! If you accidentally pierce one, use it right away for cooking. Stay tuned for my tips on how to cure garlic for long-term storage 🙌🏼 Have you harvested your garlic yet? #garlic #growinggarlic #zone3gardening #zone4gardening #mngardening #gardeningforbeginners

⚠️Don’t make these common garlic planting mistakes! 1) Using the right garlic is KEY - Grocery store garlic may not sprout and is likely not the best variety for your location. Find a variety that’s suited to your climate through a seed supplier or your local farmers market. I love music garlic! 2) Fall is the best time to plant garlic, not spring! Plant 1 month before your ground freezes solid. Early October is perfect for MN 3) Don’t peel those cloves! Peel only what you have to in order to separate the cloves, but keep as much on as you can! If any fleshy part is exposed, save that clove for fresh eating 4) Space the cloves 6” apart - I love my cardboard spacer! 5) Make sure to plant them pointy side up! 6) Add a thick layer of protective mulch (I like organic straw) To see a full video of me planting my garlic (and learn a bit more about each tip!💫) head over to YouTube! Have you planted your garlic yet? If not, when are you planning to based on your location? I’d love to know! ☺️

Grow Your Own Garlic 🧄🌱 Garlic is such an easy plant to grow and save seed from, and now is a great time to plant it. First things first, can you plant store bought garlic? Technically yes, but they can carry disease and are often sprayed with anti-sprouting agents. Buying a planting variety from a trusted source, should mean it’s disease free and you can choose a variety that has been bred for your climate. There are two main types of garlic, soft neck and hard neck. The neck refers to the stalk that grows upward from the garlic bulb. Hard-neck varieties are generally better for cooler climates, there are far more varieties than soft neck but they produce less cloves. They have a stalk that stems from the center of the bulb and turns quite rigid at maturity and they also produce flowering stems known as scapes. Soft-neck varieties are better suited to warmer climates, they generally produce more cloves per bulb and are the varieties you’d likely find in supermarkets as they store for longer. They don’t produce scapes and have more leaves than stalk. I plant both, usually soft neck inside the poly tunnels and hard neck outside due to their hardiness. I just break up the bulbs into separate cloves and plant the large ones with the fat end downwards and the pointy end around 2.5cm below the soil surface and around 5inches apart. The cloves can easily be sown directly in a raised bed, pot or container. But I generally sow them directly into the ground and mulch with compost. 8-9 months later you’ll have an abundance of fresh garlic! Remove the scapes when they form if growing hard neck to ensure larger bulbs and harvest from around July onwards, once the top growth has begun to die back. Leave the bulbs to dry in the sun for a few days and then store until needed for eating or replanting. #growgarlic #garlic #homegrowngarlic #growfood #garlicscapes #garlicplanting #gardenharvest #gardeningtips #gardeningtipsforbeginners #gardenhacks #homegrowing #vegetablegarden #organicgarlic #organicgardening #urbangardening #containergardening #growfoodforfree #potgardening #overwintering #nodig #nodiggarden
