Thank you, this is our first hardneck garlic clove planting year in raised beds. We want to sell them but it's a process of learning how. Bulbils are the next study
Hi KS, your welcome. Best of luck with the crop this year. I have lots of garlic related vids if you have not already checked them out. Bulbils take time and patience but can help get a large crop for less investment of money. Thanks for watching and the comment.
Thanks for the video! I need to know more about bulbils! Not sure why you would have to "harvest" and dry and replant them after the 1st year (before they're actually garlic bulbs). Wouldn't they just stay in the ground in nature and grow on? Or is it your zone? Do you get heavy frost? In a place like Southern California could you just leave them in the ground?
Hi Effie, you can totally leave them in the ground, make sure you mark off where that is in the garden as they will disapear once the tops dry off. I have learned it is easier and more efficient to just leave them in the ground after at least year one. I like the way you think. Thanks for watching and your insight.
Thanks- I’m brand new to garlic growing, got a ton of scapes & bulbils this season because I didn’t know any better! But I did harvest he bulbils and am going to try planting them now. What zone are you? Do you think the little guys will survive a MN winter (USDA zone 4)? Would I need to give them any additional protection? Thanks again for an informative video.
Hi Angle. Welcome to garlic its a lovely plant to grow. I did the same didnt sell /use up all my scapes so those ones have matured and I have many bulbils. I am in Zone 5a so not quite as cold. I would plant them a little bit deeper in the ground and would make sure to cover them with several inches at least of mulch (leaves or hay / straw). Go heavy on the mulch, then if too much for them to push through you can remove some if needed in the spring. Lets us know how it turned out. Best of luck!
@@PrairieJournals Nice!! I used to live in and outside of Lethbridge for many years many years ago. Its where I started my passion for gardening. Love the sunsets!!
Hi good question, I have never planted the soft neck variety but this is what I found. Bulb Shape: Soft neck garlic bulbs typically have a more rounded shape, while hard neck garlic bulbs are often more elongated and conical in appearance. Stem and Neck: Hard neck garlic varieties have a central woody stem that extends through the center of the bulb and ends in a stiff neck. Soft neck garlic, on the other hand, typically has a softer and pliable stem without a pronounced neck. Clove Formation: Hard neck garlic tends to have larger cloves with fewer in number, usually ranging from four to twelve cloves per bulb. Soft neck garlic bulbs usually contain more cloves, often in multiple layers, with a higher count, ranging from eight to twenty cloves. Culinary Characteristics: Hard neck garlic varieties are known for their robust, rich flavor, while soft neck garlic varieties are usually milder in taste. Storage: Hard neck garlic tends to have a shorter storage life compared to soft neck garlic, as the latter generally has better keeping qualities. Hope this helps, thanks for watching my video, best of luck
LOL you know the truth, if you own your own horses that poo is not cheap. However that being said there are people that give it away here locally if you are willing to shovel and pack away. Thanks for the comments
Hi they were dry, I have many more again this year that were from the scapes I did not sell, they matured in a shed in a container, thanks for watching
Hi Dodie, I have done several garlic videos but I dont think I have one yet on harvesting the bulbils after a seson, I plan to post the results of the fall planting this spring once the snow is gone and the garlic starts to come up.
Hi Tarra, I am not sure I understand the question...my quick answer is to plant the sprouting bulbils, but it might depend on what season you are in now. I am still not sure I understand the part about the bulbil is sprouting but still on the plant, so does that mean you have the flower with a whole bunch of the bulbils or are we talking about bulbils that were planted and are now plants growing? Other?
🔴🔴🔴COULD NOT SEE THE SCAPES YOU HAD in your hand. Only your head. NOT ENOUGH INFO. Maybe you can do a time lapse video on how to do this BULBILS to garlic bulbs CUZ THERE ARE NONE FROM START TO FINISH. YOU WOULD GET MILLIONS of VIEWS I'LL BET! 🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔵🔵🔵🔵🔵
I would plant every last little one of the bulbils, and get a huge harvest. If organically grown, might be able to sell it to a health food store, or higher end grocery store. 🧄🧄🧄🧄🧄🧄🧄🧄🧄🧄🧄🧄🧄🧄🧄🧄🧄🧄🧄🧄
Hi Heidi, it is amazing how many come off of one plant. I lost track of them in the garden and this year there are a whole bunch of volunteers. I am letting them grow. Thanks for watching and the comments.
Thank you for being so conversational and easy to listen to; and giving a very orderly presentation. I can do this now!

How do I know if I'm planting hard neck or soft neck garlic?

"Free" LOL Yep, horses are not "free" or cheap! Good information. Thank you!

@@EasyGardenHacks Yep...grew up training and showing horses. NOT CHEAP! I live in rural Idaho....plenty of manure laying around.
Awesome!!!
Glad you like it!! Thanks for the comment!
Thank you for this!
Hi Tirzah, your welcome, thanks for watching and commenting
So were the scapes you forgot about sitting in water? Or just dry in a box?
Hi they were dry, I have many more again this year that were from the scapes I did not sell, they matured in a shed in a container, thanks for watching
Did you do a video in 2020 harvesting the rounds?
Hi Dodie, I have done several garlic videos but I dont think I have one yet on harvesting the bulbils after a seson, I plan to post the results of the fall planting this spring once the snow is gone and the garlic starts to come up.
What do you do if the bulbil is still on the plant but is already sprouting?
Hi Tarra, I am not sure I understand the question...my quick answer is to plant the sprouting bulbils, but it might depend on what season you are in now. I am still not sure I understand the part about the bulbil is sprouting but still on the plant, so does that mean you have the flower with a whole bunch of the bulbils or are we talking about bulbils that were planted and are now plants growing?

Just plant it and let it grow. Mulch it for the winter.
@@heidimisfeldt5685 Good call
You need kids to do the sorting for ya. Great video brother. ❤
Hi gregory, your totally right about the kids, need them to do the weeding as well. Thanks for watching and your comments.
