Its great stuff for health, they say aged garlic is best. I take a cap late at night so it will be not so obvious the next day. All the spices are good for you.

I tried doing different varieties but mixed them up and found it a pain. All I’ve grown in the last couple years was music. It is a good keeper, likes our cold winters but it still strong flavour. Might try a new one this year Do you grow? Have a recommendation?

I have two varieties of hardneck garlic growing. The one looks like an elephant type of garlic and the other is a german hardneck. The elephant bulbs were from some of the garlic that my late grandfather planted all the way back in the 1980s and the german garlic was from Amazon. I started with maybe 20-25 bulbs and harvested nearly 30-35 bulbs. I replanted late October of this year and mulched soon after. It rained very much after I replanted. But, I am hopeful that I will have a good harvest in 2019.

I love the stuff. Grows like a freaking weed and it's very prolific. I'm growing two varieties right now (a Spanish red and a white softneck that I've been using from initially buying a bunch at the grocery store. I'm also trying an elephant garlic. If you're not picky the organic stuff at the grocery store works just as well as the seed garlic from the gardening places for like 1/4 the cost.
Pickle it. That's da bomb.

Nice! I’ve never grew elephant or softneck. I would like to try sometime. Grow the hard neck for storage and strength. As I understand they are usually the stronger of the varieties.
I’m always excited to see them pop up in early spring!

Yeah, here on the left coast US I plant in fall and they pop right up. I haven't noticed any storage issues with the softneck compared with hardneck. Last year's crop starts to get funky right about when this year's crop is ready to be picked.
This is my first try at elephant, supposed to be like a cross between garlic and shallots in flavor and good to roast.

I use mesh bags. I don't have the skill set needed for braiding. I just lay it out on the carport floor for a month or so and when it's completely cured cut off the tops and roots and stick it in a mesh bag which are hung in a cool, dark outside room. It lasts a full year. Well, most of it does anyway.

My theory is that the humidity in my house is very dry over the winter. I think maybe the braids almost feed the bulbs. Maybe? Maybe not. But it works for me 😃

Do you live someplace where it freezes really hard? What time of year do you plant? Make sure you work a lot of organic matter into the soil so they'll have moisture but no standing water. Sunny's right about them not liking wet feet.

i Know your not asking me, but i definitely live in a place where it freezes hard. i tried garlic in a raised bed and it didn't do well but when i put in the ground it grows amazingly well, close to 100%. My thoughts on this is that they maybe don't like the freeze/thaw/freeze thing. In the beds, the garlic would do okay in the middle but not close to the edges. In the ground here, usually when it freezes, it's solid for the rest of the winter.

it surprised me to how well they do here. Saskatchewan is between 4b and 3b mostly in it's farm area and they grow a lot of garlic. I have a hard time with some things though, have to work hard to grow tomatoes. keep trying brussel sprouts every year and they come so close but never actually matured enough to call ok.
You're pretty warm down there i bet! we had our coldest day so far this winter -40 when i woke up this morning. inside work day lol

for some long term hemorrhoid relief, soak a few garlic cloves in 1.5-2 cups of water, and drink as tea.
can also be applied as a compress.
or for a severe case of hemorrhoids, one clove of peeled garlic may be applied directly into the anus.

garlic in the news!
Fascinating study finds that men who eat 4 cloves of garlic per day smell more attractive to women
https://www.naturalnews.com/2019-01-21-men-who-eat-4-cloves-of-garlic-per-day-smell-more-attractive.html
Quote:
While eating garlic can make your breath smell bad, it apparently can make you more appealing — if you’re a man, that is. A 2015 study published in Appetite Journal concluded that garlic may make men smell more attractive to women by altering their body odor.
...
“As the health benefits of garlic consumption include antioxidant, immune-stimulant, cardiovascular, bactericidal, and anti-carcinogenic (anti-cancer) effects, it is plausible that human odor preferences have been similarly shaped by sexual selection,” explained the researchers.

Yum!
Kind of. I keep a year's supply of fresh on hand but for things made with garlic, like pesto, I'll make cubes with everything except the cheese. Thaw them in sautéd veggies, add the cheese and then toss with pasta. Much better than making with dried basil or trying to keep a basil plant alive all winter.

Excellent! I just did the early N fertilizer on mine. My local variety (that I've been growing for a few years) is doing great. I think I'll have enough for seed cloves for next years elephant garlic and Spanish red. The overwintered shallots I tried - meh. Maybe maybe not.

That is really interesting falcon. I just assumed the bulbils were the seeds. I think I want to try that just to see, I’m sure it’s not so easy but nothing to lose.
I forgot to post my garlic bed lol it’s behind the snowbank under about 3’ of snow.

I actually think it’s going to be a great year as long as we don’t get too much spring rains. So much snow on the ground, the frost really hasn’t went very deep.

No doubt! I’ve seen them come up a few inches then we’ll get a late spring snow storm where they’ll get covered and they do fine. The greenery coming up does great, no damage.

Garlic does indeed remind me of vampires. Why must it damage vampires? I don’t need it anymore. I always say, without garlic, these days. My grandma used to cook with garlic a lot. It’s in a lot of the lore of my vampire stories that I read.

BLACK GARLIC
get a rice cooker, one that will idle on "warm" for around three weeks without going off, fill with clean garlic bulbs, maybe put something in the bottom of the cooker to keep air flowing, close lid tightly and set cooker to warm, DO NOT COOK GARLIC, at about two weeks check for doneness, cloves will begin to turn brown and then jet black, it usually takes three weeks for me in my cooker with the type of garlic i use, the smell will tell you when it is good, longer will tend to start drying it out and the cloves become chewy, like a gummy bear, my wife eats them like candy, they are mild and sweet, the garlic flavor is greatly diminished but still very present
i store black garlic in the pantry in a paper bag, seems to last forever but really we eat two pounds pretty fast(how much my cooker holds)
black garlic is an asian thing, Korean i believe, and is a product of the Maillard process, supposedly far better for health with elevated antioxidant content, the flavor is amazing, black garlic oil on ramen is GOD, the soft stage cloves are mushy(about two weeks) and can be spread like butter on toast, added to marinara sauce the flavor integrates completely and becomes that secret ingredient that sets it off, combine with fresh garlic for maximum results

Great info killingravensun, I had no idea that’s how black garlic was made. I haven’t gotten into cooking with it but want to try it. Heard it is very strong.
Thanks!

it is actually milder, the "bite" is greatly reduced while sugars are elevated, when mixed into complex dishes it hides well, you can tell there is something there but its hard to identify, i think it may be a secret ingredient in "bbq sauce" flavors(judging from the smell), the ingredients list would just say "garlic" without telling you what kind, there are large expensive commercial garlic cookers available for this so a lot must be getting used somewhere

Interesting, I definitely want to try it now. So what temperature is the rice cooker on warm then? Would a crock pot on warm be the same? 
I have some garlic from last year but guessing I should probably wait for fresher stuff...

the temp i have seen is about 140 farenheit, plus the container must be semi sealed to keep moisture high
not sure about the freshness of the bulbs, i have done store bought old dried bulbs and also fresh picked undried bulbs, i think maybe the new garlic will be softer and milder when done, but it seems to be many factors, every batch so far has been slightly different but i have never used the exact same bulbs twice, the experimentation is delicious

Sounds great! I am actually really excited to try this now. I have heard of black garlic but really haven’t used it.
Thanks!
And....welcome to the shroomery!

Garlic is great and comprehensive medicinal plant.
Best and simple remedy if you have a cold:
1. Crush 2-3 pieces of garlic and put it into the cup. 2. Add 1 tablespoon of honey. 3. Pour this over with hot milk. 4. Mix it and drink.
Helped me many times when I was sick. Worked much better than any drug from the pharmacy.

From front to back...

Spanish Red, Elephant, some kinda shallots, white softneck, with a small bed of leeks beyond that. I was worried about the leeks but it seems they're almost impossible to kill.

Most of them. There's one coming off an elephant garlic and the rest are all on shallots. I'll let one of the shallots and the elephant go to seed and see what I get.

I have found the easiest way to grow garlic is in a raised bed. I had a whole bed of garlic and we just sold our house

yep, planted some this spring. Hope to get some flowers. Wiggling the bulbils out of the flower tops sounds like it might be finicky, getting them out without damaging the flowers.

That can get pretty gross! My uncle eats raw garlic everyday but he washes it down with lots of lemon in tea. He doesn’t stink

I'll have to try it next year, I think since I planted in the spring they made bulbs without forming flower tops before the greenery collapsed.

Some varieties don't form scapes (the flower tops). Dig 'em up and see what you've got.

I learned it's best to crush or mince garlic and then let it sit for about 15 minutes before eating. Doing this starts an enzyme reaction that increases all the medicinal compounds within garlic.

Put some garlic in this Sunday, traditionally I put in garlic in today, 10/23 but knew I wouldn't have time today. Going to try to get some seed. Last year I failed when the garlic didn't form scapes, probably because it was planted in the spring.
This is a head of garlic that didn't get picked this summer and started growing. Five of the cloves went into the first row on the left.

The next row was was five cloves from a big chain grocer. Then two rows of five of garlic from a Russian grocer. The heads were smaller but the cloves evenly sized and about 6 cloves to a head. Then two rows of five from Trader Joes, that were a little bit larger and very similar to the head from the Russian grocer.
The rows are about eight inches apart and the garlic about six inches away from each other in the rows.

There's some composted grass laid between the rows and then, Limestone spread on the bed, probably doesn't need the limeston in this soil, but the garlic loves it.

Covered everything with straw.

I didn't get any seeds. Scapes formed on about a third of plants, but the sheath didn't open and the bulbils had crushed the flowers when they were cut open. Did get some good garlc bulbs.

I was going to give up on growing garlic to get seed, but late summer this year, one of grocers in our area had some garlic that looks promising, it looks like the garlic varieties that are easily guided towards to making seeds.

I waited too long to plant the cloves and they didn't make it, but I had 6 plants that formed scapes, cloves that were missed in the picking last year. I removed the bulbils from them and maybe some flowers on them will give a few seeds this year.

Garlic flowers with stamens. Not likely to get any seeds at all with this amount of flowers, but this is the first time I'm seeing garlic flowers making pollen in three years. Started with maybe forty stalks, besides the ones in the garden I found some in a local strip of woods. Not all of stalks had flowers that matured a lot of stalks only had one or two flowers that got to the point of making pollen.

The bucket of water has a little sugar added to it.
8/4/22 Looks like there will be some seed, only 9 scapes out of about 40 ended up making any, though there might be a few more that were left in the woods to form seed, but they were looking sparse (the flowers on most of them didn't develope) last time they were checked.
