- Somehow we were able to grow softneck garlic in our cold climate (zone 5a). Now it's time to dig it up and see how it did!

I recommand you that you save the biggest clove for planting not the smallest :) Evolution and stuff... I am sue that you will have even better harvest next year!
That’s true! Not sure what I was thinking but thank you for pointing that out.
i planted soft neck in zone 1 boarding zone 2 and worked
Good for you for pushing your hardiness zone by planting varieties that are only supposed to do well in warm climates. I did the same thing living in a warm climate, zone 8a SC. and planted some hardneck varieties meant for colder climates and got to enjoy the scapes for 3-4 weeks.
Awesome! It (almost) never hurts to try it for yourself and see what happens.
Great video! Thank you. I'm so excited to plant lots of garlic this Fall! I tried during summer the California variety 😂 i just wanted to give it a shot knowing my odds. Didn't root at all. I will go for the Midwest variety this fall.
You’re welcome, I hope you have better luck in the fall!
Perfect video Thank You for the info , i did learn something today.
Glad to hear it!
Thank you
You’re welcome!

I am in Michigan and actually planted my soft neck garlic this past April and the greens have flopped over, but no brown leaves yet. It is July 16, and raining. So, should i do a test dig to see if they are ready or just leave them in the ground til all leaves turn brown?
You could pull one up to see how it looks. The bulb will probably be quite small. You may need to pull them all up if the greens are already flopping over. You can save some of the individual cloves to plant for next year, and I recommend planting those in early October this year. The bulbs will grow much bigger with a full 9 months in the soil.
@@SomeRoomtoGrow i will plan on that next week...ground needs to dry out. Thanks so much for the quick reply. I enjoyed your video and suscribed.
Sounds good! You’re probably getting the rain we just had. Thank you so much for subscribing and I hope you enjoy your garlic!
