got a nice bright sunny morning here it's gonna be another

warm day it looks like the 10 -day forecast is pretty

strong as far as heat without a lot of rain and

so it's actually a good time to be starting to think about harvesting garlic

if the garlic is ready right now we're at july 11th about a week

or two weeks earlier than we've harvested in the past but it's also been

a lot more intense sun

and warmth overall good amount of rain a little bit a little ways ago

and we're drying out

so we want to get this garlic out there's an intersection

here of it's the right time as far as the leaves

which i want to talk about in a moment

that it's good warm dry weather so

that the curing process can begin in a good way

which i'll try to share a little in this video

but we'll make another video talking about our system for curing

garlic at scale we've got about five thousand six thousand heads

in the field here elephant garlic will be the main one

that i focus on first and let me explain why i'm going to be doing

that today you can see that it's starting to yellow down quite a bit

so the general rule of thumb

when it's time to harvest garlic is you're looking for about a third

or more of the leaves to look yellow

or dried down it normally starts from the bottom

and works its way up these dry down in a slightly

different pattern this might be a little bit of water stress

or pest stress i'm not sure i'll have to dig

and see but this is a block of some particularly large elephant cloves that were planted with generous spacing, lots of mulch, lots of compost, and well weeded.

They should be some of the nicer ones that we harvest from the field, so I want to make sure they get out before there's any losses.

I've got the trailer attached to our electric car, and so I've got some tools to work with here.

I've got some Japanese bananas.

Maybe they'll go into the bed, we'll see, but I've got some different seeds to follow up.

I'll talk about that in a little bit.

I've got this little tilther.

It's an electric rototiller, but it really is not very powerful.

It just basically softens and loosens soil so that I can get a really nice seed bed.

Part of doing the garlic right now before it gets even drier, even hotter, is I really want to make sure there's enough soil moisture to set this to parsnips

and beets and other fall crops, which we'll chat about.

I've got our bread crates because what we'll do is cut the stalks and the roots off from these as we go.

And then I'm going to use my five -tine garden fork.

I've talked about this in the past.

This is really nice at decompacting the soil as I go.

So I'm going to get in there, loosen the soil, pull a couple heads, and see what we've got.

Tiny sample set here.

I just got a few out.

Seems like it should not be too, too hard to do this digging today, and I'd say those bulbs are decent size.

I've got the hand of a six foot tall person, and that is the size of that bulb with a few cloves in there that are really huge.

Something I forgot about this morning, but I should have remembered.

There are these little propagules on the side.

Elephant garlic is tricky this way.

It's got these little things we call elephant nuts, and when these fall off into the soil, it's cool in that it's a propagule.

It's a clonal propagule, and that'll turn into an elephant orb in a year and then a full bulb later on.

But I actually do want to kind of collect these

because I'm not sure

that I want elephant garlic to just randomly show up in this bed next year it's a little bit challenging

that it does that be nice

if we could actually transition the crop fully away from elephant

garlic here just from a disease standpoint i like to move these crops through different beds

so i'm going to grab a little container

and as i collect these knock those off

and try to save them they are a propagation point

so it's something we can offer

so part of all this is we offer garlic seed for sale

and we grow a lot of it for our own eating

so any pathway that allows you to increase their numbers i like to explore

but i want to have a little say in how that happens

so i share my thinking process as i go through this

i got a little container collecting those as they go making

sure the soil is getting knocked off back into the bed

and then laying these out into the sun i'm not going

to leave them here for the day some folks talk about

curing garlic in the sun i feel like all alliums the onions the garlics

when we lay them in the sun for hours

and hours they get what i would call a sunburn it's

like it softens it kind of weakens the skin that's exposed to the sun

so a little bit for surface drying that's great

but we're going to move them we'll trim them down

and get them onto these racks and then into a garage with some good airflow

and i'm just trying to think through my flow as i go i don't know

that i'm going to be able to do this entire block before it's too hot so i'm prioritizing the southern half

and so i'm going to go through

and systematically get everything from the middle to the south right down the whole line

and what that allows me to do is thoroughly finish at least some of the harvest

get one or two rows of seeds in

because what i don't want to do is harvest leave the

soil baking in the sun it takes a lot of effort to get soil to be healthy

and this will cook by the end of today this would just be a light gray

and not be able to germinate seeds it's amazing how fast it goes.

So I want to make sure I don't try to overdo the digging part

and then.. not have the bandwidth and the time to seed this.

So just sharing as I go my thoughts.

The other thing I want to do is as I go really thoroughly hand weed, since the fork is in there, the semi -broad fork is in there,

it's lifting the soil, I can get these perennial weeds out.

They'll go in the walkway for now, and then I can rake them off, draw them back out into the field,

and then use a riding mower with a bagger to collect all the weeds, chop them up finely.

The stalks and the roots will be trimmed off and left here.

All of that can be chopped up.

So if there happens to be allium leaf miner, eggs, or the like, it'll all be into these shredded piles that can then really cook in the sun.

I might try to get them to be like 150, 160 degree cooking compost piles.

100

So anyway, I'm going to get back to digging and then I'll share more.

101

These are coming out in a way that feels very, very rewarding.

102

It's a lot of effort to plant beings like this in the fall

103

and mulch and get compost and tend to them and weed them and worry about them and bring them grass clippings.

104

And so when they grow to this size, it's so, so lovely.

105

There are hundreds and hundreds and hundreds about this size.

106

And then there are some that are more like this size, which I am very, very satisfied with

107

and then periodically there's some little sad friend that's looking like this and it's good to show something like this.

108

I see mechanical damage in here maybe

109

but I also suspect this might have either been allium leaf miner

110

or somebody else somebody who's capable of eating garlic got into this.

111

So elephant garlic's a little fragile because it's in the leek family

112

and the leeks are a softer bodied allium and can get allium leaf miner and things.

113

Long story short this is going to be folded into the trimmings of the roots

114

and the stems this whole piece i'm not going to try to save this

115

and clean it up i'm going to chop this up real

116

fine along with grass clippings along with browns in the form of old hay

117

and try to cook this with the rest of the composting process that'll happen later

118

and just not try to fold that in

119

so it is important whenever you're growing garlic of any type

120

hardneck softneck elephant anywhere in between you're looking at the heads as you go

121

and trying to get a feel like do I see weird discoloration

122

or their soft pockets what's happening here and try to understand

123

if there's a disease that's building in your population seeing one random one here I'm like okay

124

that I feel sorry for you but you're gonna get chopped up

125

and turn into compost

126

and feed a different family of crops next year the rest

127

of these are looking really really good I'm seeing no significant

128

sign of anything to be concerned about just big beautiful mellow elephant garlic head so I'll continue on.

129

Our little block is done and I'm about a quarter of the way, a third of the way through the first third of the bed.

130

This is slow work and definitely you can see why people move towards using machines for things

131

but I like hearing the birds off in the distance.

132

This is definitely a community project thing

133

so as I'm digging here on my own this morning kind of thinking through the workflow in the process, I'm trying to think through the list of folks that I want to reach out to.

134

So if you're in the Ithaca area, Ithaca, New York, and you want to plug in for a day and help us with some garlic, take some home, feel free to reach out.

135

If you get this around July 11th or 12th of 2026, shoot me an email.

136

And yeah, it's a great community harvesting project to work with.

137

Something, another note with the elephant garlic, so if you're getting seed from us or others, they have a tendency pretty early on to split their skin.

138

So this looks like it could be oh my gosh there's a disease

139

or there's this really big deal problem something like this is not going to store extremely well for the winter

140

but this will make for an amazing set of cloves for planting this fall they'll be easy to split out

141

and something like that one's actually another one that'd be good for seeds

142

so we'll either sell this as seed

143

or save this for our own planting there's a tendency with elephant garlic to do

144

that pretty early on The skin on this is pretty tight all the way around and in nice shape.

145

I can snip that up here, snip the roots off, and let this start drying slowly.

146

If you have a small number of heads of garlic, either elephant, softneck, or hardneck,

147

you can leave the stalks and the roots and just hang them upside down to really gently dry and cure.

148

We've made videos about how we hang small numbers or if we had the room.

149

We have too much garlic and not enough room, So snipping roots, snipping stalks, and then drying them on racks with some airflow has worked well for us.

150

That's my flow with this, but it doesn't mean it's the best practice.

151

First tray roughly cut off there.

152

I leave a little length on the stem so

153

that there's still a little bit more juice to go back down into the bulb and trim the roots.

154

But try not to do, so this is wrong.

155

I should not have cut into the base plate like that.

156

So that was a mistake on my part.

157

That's fine.

158

We'll either eat that or enjoy it.

159

That's an orb right there.

160

It's a single monolithic clove, which is pretty special that elephant garlic does that.

161

really kind of want to do more like this where i'm trimming but not cutting into the body of the bulb

162

and a nice stock i cut it out of bias so

163

that more moisture can come off of there and again is

164

that best practice universally i'm not going to say

165

that at all i think hanging and letting them dry slowly

166

if you can is nice maybe might be quite a bit

167

better trimmings are right here i'm going to go pass over

168

that back and forth with the riding mower and suck all that up chop it mix it with grass

169

and compost it hot somewhere.

170

We've got a banana in there for fun.

171

I think I'm going to actually finish this whole block to the middle.

172

It transitions to another type of garlic right around where I stopped digging there.

173

So I'm just going to do this one type and then get this seeded.

174

So a pretty insignificantly small amount of harvest for a few hours while talking about it in the heat.

175

So it feels a little disheartening to think about how many more blocks there are, but it's a wonderful thing that there's

176

so much garlic here i appreciate it immensely i just have to get used to the rhythm of it

177

and there we go a bunch of elephant nuts there one other quick observation that's worth noting something

178

that might happen

179

so we use quite a bit of wood chips in our farming practice we use them in the walkway

180

and then we move them into the beds

181

and here it looks like oh my gosh there's fungal stuff

182

happening this garlic is infected with a horrible fungus this This is mycelium almost certainly from the earth around the garlic,

183

from the wood chips that are down in there.

184

So if you're using a wood chippy, branches, leaves, you know, fungal supporting soil amendment or mulch,

185

you might expect to see some mycelium running on the outside of the garlic.

186

If it's white and smells sweet, it's probably not fusarium rust.

187

I'm not going to say for sure of that, but this doesn't make me nervous.

188

It lets me know neat this garlic had a mushroom relationship while it was growing.

189

We also are finding lots of worms through the root systems, which is telling me the garlic is actively putting a little bit of juice back into the soil.

190

So we'll finish harvesting this block, or I'll finish harvesting this block, get this sown, watered in, labeled, mulched again, and be able to leave the field this morning.

191

First part of this bed is done in a nice full contiguous way.

192

We've got the banana in the middle there.

193

We've got a dahlia on the end, a random milkweed coming up.

194

That's cool.

195

So I'm going to work the middle of this with a little bit of compost from the chicken yard.

196

And so far, this is the winner for size overall in here.

197

It's a very significant head of elephant garlic.

198

You can see one of the cloves in there, just about the size of a good average or smaller onion, one clove.

199

And that's from a bed that got no irrigation whatsoever, no chemical fertilizers, no plastic just compost and lots of sun

200

and some space and some good mulch to let the soil life do what it needs to do

201

so three full crates will come out of this one block

202

it's about maybe four feet wide by about 16 feet long

203

that was harvested this morning so let me get them cleaned up

204

and in the shade

205

and get this ready for the next crop the crate of

206

compost from the chicken yard you can see some dark splotches there right through the middle

207

because i figure highest fertility in the middle you do your hungriest crops there

208

and the nutrient will spread out to the edges over time.

209

I'll bring a tripod and show how this thing works.

210

It seemed like a silly investment at the time to take soil that has dried out a bit and

211

break up the clods just to the depth of where the broad fork, where my garden fork went down.

212

So this is not a deep tillage event.

213

This is not a soil inversion event.

214

It's just breaking up compaction in these clods so

215

that fine seeds have a better chance of starting

216

and working some nice compost in as well

217

so what would be the wrong move is if i did

218

that level of disturbance

219

and then said all right cool i'm going to come back in a week

220

or two and get this sown

221

and in fact talking about it right now i'm thinking all right man get the seeds in get them watered

222

and get them mulched so what i had with me

223

and this is what will be in the center

224

and on either side of the center saved seed from some

225

parsnips we grew at our ellis hollow home e h parsnip from 2021

226

so they are way over sewn in here i'm going to get some soil on top

227

and then wet this all down and mulch it

228

and then some slightly older detroit dark red beets

229

which are flanking either side

230

so there'll be some symmetry a parsnip in the middle a good tap rooting high value storage crop

231

that i think can come to fruition

232

if we get mild weather this fall beets on either side

233

and then where it gets a little bit more feral

234

and raw and rugged brassica tubers do incredibly well in not finely prepped soil

235

so black spanish round radish on either side

236

and then we'll have this nice rainbow of deep big radish

237

beets parsnip beets radish we have a nice relationship with a local amish nursery

238

and my friend daniel has these containers that he's often getting rid of

239

that have organic fish emulsion that he uses for his nursery start.

240

So I'm collecting the waste stream from the Amish nurseries

241

and we can fill these with rainwater back at our home

242

and then transfer that into a little watering can that I got for four bucks at reuse

243

and water these little friends in.

244

So there's about a thousand or so seeds.

245

They are going to get watered first so that I can feel confident that the seed bed they're in is really hydrated, so they're still not covered.

246

I'm going to water them really thoroughly first, and then by hand, look for remaining clods of soil.

247

That would be nice to break up, and make sure I hide the seeds, and then I'll walk that in, put a little bit of really finely chopped aged hay.

248

There's some wads on the sides here, and that should get this ready to be.

249

Watered and walked in.

250

That was two and a half gallons of rain water.

251

That did a all right job.

252

Okay, the clods are broken up and put over the seeds that were watered.

253

Walked in once more, and now a light mulch of hay.

254

It feels like putting in the extra effort

255

when we're going into 10 days of no rain

256

and approaching 100 degrees that you really need to get the seed bed really prepped, soft, fluffy, seeded, watered, mulched,

257

and maybe in a week or so I come back and water once more.

258

But for a budget of two

259

and a half gallons of rainwater in a $4 watering can carried over in a dumpstered container with about $4 of seed,

260

the only stuff in here is labor.

261

And it was about 30 minutes.

262

If it works out, we might get a bunch of crates of really nice storage crops for the winter.

263

We'll see.

264

We'll do an update.

265

That's enough sun exposure, maybe for me, but mainly for the skin of these elephant garlics.

266

I need to bring them back to the shade.

267

They'll go on those bread racks, onto a rolling cart, into our garage.

268

No direct sun, but there's airflow from our basement up through the top and out.

269

And with a solar panel, I could run another fan to kind of stir air around them.

270

This dry, open weather like this is really positive for curing garlic.

271

It's harder to establish the following seeds or do transplanting

272

but it's quite good for the actual harvest of garlic so

273

if you have some hot sunny days coming up

274

and you can do some work in the morning seed

275

and water thoroughly afterwards and get your garlic out of the sun

276

and starting to dry you might have a really nice crop

277

ahead of you we'll share more as we harvest more of this garlic

278

about making it available if you are a member of our channel thank you

279

so so much just as a heads up

280

we normally offer our seed garlic and our other plants to members first

281

and so if that's something

282

that would be compelling to you feel free to follow the link to do

283

that it's really nice to support us directly

284

but we'll come back around to that as we go more garlic to harvest

285

but I think that's it for this morning thank you

286

so much for enjoying this long meander with me let me know what sort of questions you have

287

or concerns how's your garlic coming along if you're in a much warmer place, I suspect you're done.

288

And there are some of you in much more northern areas where you're waiting another few weeks.

289

Anyway, lots going on in this field.

290

We'll do an update as time allows.

291

Take care.
