After three years of minimal success with hardnecks here in zone 10, I finally did enough research to find out about the refrigeration technique. This is the only garlic video on YouTube (and I've watched loads of them) that mentions this. Thank you for your thoroughness.

I've been unsuccessful in garlic growing in Hawaii. Your advice for growing garlic is the best I've seen so far. Thank you so much. Can't wait to try it.

I have a bunch (no pun intended) from the Safeway supermarket that looked healthy and large and had decent roots. All got planted along with a bit of older cloves from two years ago which I also planted. Hope I'll get decent harvests as all are in pots and planters. Big experiment. I did similar with both commercial Music Garlic and supermarket garlic two years ago with so-so success. Here in the Mohave Desert Zone 8B is pretty so-so for vegetable gardening in my 2 years here. All was planted in Oct. and yes, we sure did get cold weather this past Winter! Never had that soak tip before and should try it this coming Fall! Thanks.

I just planted my garlic yesterday. I have never soaked mine before. I would have tried doing that if I had seen your video prior to me planting. I love growing garlic and I always recommend it to everyone I talk to about gardening. Love your videos! Always so informative and since I live in Arizona also it helps me with my gardening here.

I planted my garlic (hard neck) at the beginning of October of last year, here in Mesa, Arizona. I harvested it in June. I planted it at the beginning of August this year. I used the same garlic, but directly replanted some without refrigerating them first….and planted some that were refrigerated first…..both are coming up just fine.

Just got an email today that my garlic shipped! So excited. Last year I was too late and couldn’t get any before it sold out. Thanks for the tips!

[mobilehomelife]

Thanks for the helpful hints. My brother and I have a significant area or property to use.

This is my third year of planting garlic in Phoenix az area and This time I planted about 5 inches deep and follow your tips how ever I missed som fertilizing times but I just dug up two of my garlic's as the signs are there to prepare for harvest. I think it my be time to stop watering. I will water in the morning one more time and the stop watering It is April 17 2023. Does any one have any thoughts? The two I pulled are good sized much larger than my last 2 crops. I am so excited. That you Angela for guiding me in growing and for guiding me to Forever Yong Farms to buy my garlic for planting.

New to the channel. I live in buckeye. I need some general help on where to start with my garden and dying citrus trees. Glad to be here!

[solferguson]

Thanks Angela, i will order mine now! 😃

Omg I’m glad I found You’re officially my “Go To” for all things gardening! I’m trying to find out the plants that are acidic and plant that way, can u do a video on that? Also, I grew from seed for the first time this season and it didn’t work too well….I germinated all seeds in composted manure only….they all germinated, but majority of them did not become mature and literally stayed about 3 inches tall….What’s the best soil to use when growing from seed?! You’re the best

[Bluecrows]

I’m in Goodyear AZ Excellent video. Thanks

[vandthebees]

I haven’t had much success, but I suspect it wasn’t getting enough sun. Thanks for the tips Angela!

[klivesay]

Great video. Very comprehensive and answered a lot of my questions. 😊

[anonymos]

Wonderful video. I know I watched it last year but was too late for anything. That's when I learned you plant in the fall. I also watched it again later on and ordered the garlic and got it on time. It's in the fridge waiting for October. This time around I took notes, but I may watch it again for the fun of it, in case I missed anything. Love, Maria.
