Garlic patch

[kaw900r]

Here's a couple pics of my current garlic situation. Planted 125 bulbs in October and they seem to be doing well...

I started a couple bulbs worth but nothing on this scale.
I’m looking forward to harvesting sometime in july.
We planted some potatoes at the same time in the near vicinity, hoping they’ll be done at the same time, but I just wait for the tops to die off to start the search

I do plan on growing a strain with garlic in the name. It was some really good bud.
This is just garlic for eating as l love it on everything.

Definitely curious about the Garlic strain. I'm growing Garlic Stash v21 from @dragonsflamegenetics outside this summer.

Hmmm. Maybe I should plant some Garlic too.

This is DFG garlic,now in brown paper bagd. Weed is sticky wickie AF. Now it smells exactly like school clay, very good memory. 140 grams from 5 plants, enough for 10 months.

It finished with a good harvest

I planted 18 cloves last october/november, and in spring the squirrels dug up all but 5. 2 of them were stunted, so i only got 3 bulbs. Drying now, but they do look and smell good. Will try again for next year using my anti critter doohicky.

Garlic?? Been growing them 10-11 years now. Best crop in the garden. You get 2 harvests and seed for next year. I harvested 500 + in July.

Yes 2 harvests if you are growing hard necks. I get a garlic scape harvest around first week in June and then harvest the bulbs around July 4th.

Otay, gotcha. Yes I cut the scapes also...

I have a bunch of elephants here too. I grow them for the flower. I will eat the scapes but the elephant garlic itself is just too bland. It does naturalize nicely though. Makes dynamite cut flowers that last a long time.
In regular garlic I grow, Music, Susan Delafield, Romanian Red, German Red and Bogatyr. If I could only grow one it would by the bogatyr.

234 cloves of garlic ready to plant. 107 elephant 75 white and 52 Italian red

Tilled area for garlic and will lay down some garden lime today in preparation for mushroom compost and planting

 

[freezeland]

I hope you all have plenty of Altoids on hand, lol.

Spread garden lime last night and started turning soil over for another garden. Getting rid of the above ground and just going to fence it in.

Pretty spot for a garden. Looks like you have some good soil to work with, too

 

[kaw900r]

Almost done, just trying to figure out if I should plant onions in raised bed in the ground with garlic and see how it comes up in the spring. Just bed area to turn over is left

You get hard freezes over winter?

Sometimes yes, we can get periods where it goes down in the teens or single digits for a few days to a week. I'm in northeast Ohio
