Ever thought you could get five garlic harvests from your garden?
Today on the podcast, garden expert Doug Oster joins us from Pittsburgh, PA to talk about growing and cooking with garlic.
Oster, who loves growing and cooking with garlic, shares his love of garlic by taking seed garlic to friends…earning him the nickname “Dougy Garlic Seed.”
Oster recently gave two presentations about garlic at the Virtual Tomato and Garlic Days hosted by Phipps Conservatory: How to Get Five Harvests from Growing Your Own Garlic, and Garlic is Love.
Oster explains that there are 5 possible harvests when growing garlic: greens in the spring, scapes, bulbils, fresh garlic, and the main harvest.
