  • I agree. Although I have always considered it a given that the cloves need to be seperated, it's a shame that there are a multitude of people who don't have the exposure to assume that. When we live in a time when our food production is so far removed from the table, there needs to be info out there that states what some would consider obvious.

  • It's not that obvious, i wanted to plant garlic in my garden but i did'nt know there were two kinds of garlic and that i needed to plant individual cloves...

  • I grew garlic from Stop & Shop here in N.E. and it was hard neck. I just got a new batch for this year and again it;s hard neck and massive bulbs. Seems S&H sells the hard neck variety even though the soft neck is more viable for a chain retailer.

  • Wow your garlic is huge, mine is about 1 3rd the size of that ( each clove) I've just started growing mine, but the shoots are up and its june, so i don't know when it'll be ready ( i'm in england) so its pretty cold, should i move them in for winter?

  • where do you get your bulbs from?

  • Also, soft neck varieties store much longer than hard. Soft neck stores for 4-9 months where as hard neck stores only 1-4 months.

  • @BarbaraThatcher Soft neck garlic does well in warm climates, hard does well in cooler climates such as Ontario Canada.

  • Actually I disagree. I was wondering about the relative merits of growing hardneck and softneck garlic and this video has helped me decide to try harneck.
