I've read it's super easy. Drop it in the ground in the fall and forget it! October I've read is is the best time for my region. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/ever-grown-garlic#post-1774047 Tue, 22 Jul 2014 11:23:28 +0000 shopaholic 1774047@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Thanks for all the tips! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/ever-grown-garlic#post-1772712 Mon, 21 Jul 2014 17:47:37 +0000 Cole 1772712@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>The woman who used to live at my house apparently loved garlic and I assure you it's the easiest thing ever- I literally do nothing and each year have tons of it. I need to get better about harvesting it and drying it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/ever-grown-garlic#post-1772707 Mon, 21 Jul 2014 17:44:42 +0000 yoursilverlining 1772707@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I haven't, but wanted to pop in and say doooooooo itttttt! Non-grocery store garlic is so.much.better!!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/ever-grown-garlic#post-1772653 Mon, 21 Jul 2014 16:59:26 +0000 SugarplumsMom 1772653@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@shopaholic: According to my MIL they're supposed to eliminate the fungus that sometimes grows under rose leaves. It's worked for her so far! I don't have roses, but I plan to mix them into my flowerbeds. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/ever-grown-garlic#post-1772646 Mon, 21 Jul 2014 16:54:59 +0000 shopaholic 1772646@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Thanks for all the reassurance! OK - looks like I'll be buying some organic garlic to plant in the Fall. </p> <p>@Kemma: Thanks for that tip!</p> <p>@SugarplumsMom: I read that too! And for planting under roses for some reason… </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/ever-grown-garlic#post-1772642 Mon, 21 Jul 2014 16:52:44 +0000 SugarplumsMom 1772642@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>What? I'm pretty sure you don't need all of that. Just put a bunch of cloves in the ground and see if they like the location. If there's too many, you pull them out and toss it :happy: </p> <p>I heard they're actually good for pests and plan on planting them in various locations. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/ever-grown-garlic#post-1772641 Mon, 21 Jul 2014 16:52:27 +0000 Kemma 1772641@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Plant it on the shortest day, harvest on the longest! Planting bigger cloves will result in bigger bulbs and organic garlic is probably best for home-growing - good luck! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/ever-grown-garlic#post-1772631 Mon, 21 Jul 2014 16:48:27 +0000 Snowdrop 1772631@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Oh yeah, like @babycanuck: i never bother to water or anything. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/ever-grown-garlic#post-1772630 Mon, 21 Jul 2014 16:47:22 +0000 Snowdrop 1772630@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Meh i plant in autumn when i plant tulips then forget about it till time to dig up when the leaves are dying back. It's well easy! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/ever-grown-garlic#post-1772618 Mon, 21 Jul 2014 16:41:01 +0000 babycanuck 1772618@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Plant it in the fall and forget about it! I made the mistake of planting in the spring and it really needs the winter to get ready. I wouldn't worry too much about daily watering, etc. because I know a few people who plant them and let them go wild (they get the water from the rain only). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/ever-grown-garlic#post-1772615 Mon, 21 Jul 2014 16:39:31 +0000 shopaholic 1772615@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Anyone ever grown their own garlic? I was reading about it and how most supermarket garlic is grown and fertilized (ewww) and thought it would be easy. Then I read this: <a href="http://themicrogardener.com/5-step-guide-to-growing-gorgeous-garlic/" rel="nofollow">http://themicrogardener.com/5-step-guide-to-growing-gorgeous-garlic/</a> </p> <p> and there are just so, so many steps. I'd plant in our yard where we have a daily sprinkler system going. I don't really have the time or desire to moisture-check, pH check, etc. I grow plenty of other herbs without any work at all.</p> <p>Hoping for some reassurance that garlic is relatively easy to grow? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/calling-all-cooking-or-farmers-market-attending-bees-help-me#post-803389 Thu, 23 May 2013 12:06:28 +0000 yoursilverlining 803389@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p><a href="http://teltanefarm.com/garlic.html" rel="nofollow">http://teltanefarm.com/garlic.html</a></p> <p>I've bought from this farm in the past and the garlic was really, really good!! Their website doesn't appear to be up to date, but maybe if you call they can give you some good info. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/calling-all-cooking-or-farmers-market-attending-bees-help-me#post-803352 Thu, 23 May 2013 11:55:08 +0000 regberadaisy 803352@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. Twine: I emailed my farmer and asked her and posted on the other farmer's market's site. So I'll let you know what I hear back! Dang, you must really HATE grocery store garlic cuz S+H is going to be $$$! :P Why not grow your own this fall? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/calling-all-cooking-or-farmers-market-attending-bees-help-me#post-803345 Thu, 23 May 2013 11:51:30 +0000 Mrs. Twine 803345@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Regberadaisy; It is, but someone, somewhere must have storage garlic left. One guy I called in MN was keeping his last ten pounds for his own family (jerk!). Okay, I guess I'd be doing the same, but I really really want better garlic. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/calling-all-cooking-or-farmers-market-attending-bees-help-me#post-803343 Thu, 23 May 2013 11:50:55 +0000 anbanan15 803343@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I can check our farmers market (it's on Tuesdays only). There is one stand I know of that usually has a wide variety of produce that cannot be found elsewhere and more "exotic" finds. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/calling-all-cooking-or-farmers-market-attending-bees-help-me#post-803324 Thu, 23 May 2013 11:45:57 +0000 regberadaisy 803324@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>bahahaha I will keep an eye out and send an email to my local farmer!</p> <p>ETA: I thought garlic was a late fall/winter crop? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/calling-all-cooking-or-farmers-market-attending-bees-help-me#post-803316 Thu, 23 May 2013 11:42:33 +0000 Mrs. Twine 803316@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I am turning myself over to the mercy of the hive. Anyone able to source any hardneck garlic (Inchelium Red is my preference, but whatever you can find works)? I have called and contacted pretty much every source I can find, and due to some fungal problems last year, there is none to be had pretty much anywhere. I am dying here. I will gladly pay for the cost of the garlic and for shipping, and even kick a little extra your way as a finder's fee. I just cannot cook with this bad grocery store garlic any more! </p>
