This man is delightful to listen to!:) He reminds me of my dad who I pleasantly refer to as a garden gnome! Lol!! Yes.. we're little shorties!:) But his knowledge and passion is what impresses me the most!👍😊

This is super interesting. I've never had luck getting full garlic from a bulbil, but mine have never looked like his either, those are huge and beautiful seed. But I do think there is use for bulbils as a green garlic crop since you could plant them super dense.

After I saw this segment in the longer version I jumped in growing garlic. Really liked his drying house!

Awesome for you. I am aspiring to as well. I have a 10 lb box sitting on my dresser until my raised bed is complete lol. Still unsure of what I can get for my crop once its mature.

The bulbils on the variety he's growing are absolutely enormous. I deliberately leave scapes on some of mine to collect bulbils, but he's operating way way at another level. Gandalf indeed.

Rocamboles then Marbled Purple Stripe have the largest bulbils of all the different garlic families.

Yeah, I need more information. I need to know, what is a bulbul? LOL

It's the flower tip of the scape when not cut. It takes about three years to develop and can result in a cross pollenated garlic variety as it is sexual reproduction.

@@FrontYardGardener Actually bulbils are not sexual reproduction, they are produced asexually and are actually clones. He mentions that at 3:55 in the video. This guy definitely knows his garlic and has for sure been growing garlic longer than I've been alive.

When he talks I listen. Saw him at speak at the BFA conference last winter. His talk was called something like magmatic gasses spinning and coalescing into soil and food as medicine. He is such a wizard. I wish I got to go to that garlic workshop.

I have been drying to convince people to not turn all their scapes into pesto, so far no luck :D I grow my garlic from bulbils or I use the bulbils in cooking.
