I'm in central Florida and enjoy your videos, especially when you test different types of the same vegetable. It helps me figure out which ones to try. Thank you.

I’ve watched so many of y’all’s videos and just wanted to take the time to thank you both. A. The information you provide is in depth, articulate and so helpful for even those of us who have done gardening for quite a while. B. Thank you so much time for the impressive amount of time you take for each video. I’d hate to see the time calculated up for each “little video” that starts from seed, then to plant, to maturity, to harvest and all of the information you provide at each step. Not only is it impressive the detail you provide through the whole journey, but it’s beyond appreciated the meticulous way in which y’all present it. So, yeah, thank y’all for the wisdom, education and good vibes you’re always spreading on your channel.

I just placed my first order with Dixondale farm's! This is how good their CS is ..I described a style of onion my grandmother grew in the 70s for canning in quart jars with hot peppers. She instantly directed me to the right variety, and told me to dig them up while still small. Commonly called "pearl onions". I also ordered leeks and shallots, too

Thank you for the videos. I love every one of them. We're in SWFL and have grown some nice onions from Diamond dale. We have no land, so we grow in storage Totes. Had a similar experience with bolting last season. We allowed a few to fully seed out, and harvested the seed for future use. Here's a little fyi for those that don't know, Before the seed heads seed out you can eat the flowers. Use them as toppings on salads, in soups, stews, or as a garnish on baked potatoes etc. Pretty and tasty :)

Great video! Nice garden! When I have some onions bolt, I keep it in the ground and plant the seeds. I've left some in the ground after seeding, and sometimes they'll keep going, but it takes them a while. I'd leave them for the fall or the next year even and plant around them. I've gotten some very nice onions from 2nd years that have gone to seed prior. Do you ever make onion braids? You take the onions with the tops, braid them, and add a new onion every few turns incorporating the onions tops into the braid. You hang them up, and they stay nice. Many people do the same with garlic, making garlic braids. These are pretty and are a nice way to keep onions or garlic. To be sure your dried onion top (or chopped, dried onions) are really dry, you can dry them, then put them in jars in a low oven, or oven with a pilot, about 120° for a half hour to an hour on their sides propped up at an angle (a bread pan or cake pan is perfect to keep the jar tops up. Place the jars in the bread or cake pans, then into the oven. This ensures they are really evacuated of moisture, so no mold worries. Great looking onions! Now I'm hungry! 😊👍

You've taught me a lot about onions. It has also shown me with the space I have which is a lot larger than a lot of folks growing area that onions may take up too much room in the garden for the amount we would need for a year. I may dedicate one area for now to experiment and practice growing in the event that I can't get the 50# bags or at least at a reasonable price. Onions are relatively a lot cheaper to buy from the Amish Produce (organic) in my area than to buy plants. I think I'm going to concentrate of growing the rest of my fruits and veggies this year and maybe expand to grow onions at a later date.

I use a small, decorative plastic box I found at a dollar store a couple years ago. It holds quite a few packets (about 50-70 or so. 2 rows side by side). I keep them alphabetically. If you have a very large area, you can get a large notebook and use those clear plastic organizing pages with pockets a little bigger than seed packets. You can also use envelopes if you save seed from your own plants. Gardening is fun! I wish you success in your gardening adventures.

I truly enjoyed this video. Onions my favorite vegetable. Couldn't do without them. Just been looking for some short day onions seeds. I am disgusted by some seeds salers . Who don't tell us if their onions are short days or other. And I bought some 3 varieties that were long day. I am so disappointed, wasted of my time and money. So thank you for enlightening me on some good short day ones that I will be looking for while I still have time to start over. Now if I could only find that interesting company you were talking about. We never heard of this find sounding company. Its too bad its probably unknown to so many of us newbies.

I have Florida sugar sand soil. When I amend it the sand consumes it within one year. It is extremely difficult to build rich soil out of sand. Without the Black Kow our garden would be doomed. I have two large raised beds that I have amended with the cow manure for two years in a row and they are still very Sandy. This year I am going to incorporate a heavy layer of Black Kow Top Soil with the sand. Then I will amend with another 4” layer of Black Kow cow manure. I believe adding the Top Soil with the sand will help a lot. I will do an experimental video on it and take a look at the results. If it does a good job, I will add the Top Soil to my remaining raised beds. I tested it in some containers recently revealing some good water retention. I think that will prove to be true in the raised beds on a much larger scale. Stay tuned for this video. It will take at least one year to build so the video will be released in early 2024. 🤞

Hello guys, I'm a very new subscriber, and I am kicking around growing a small bucket garden setup. Is it a good idea to plant bug repellent plants alongside vegetables to help with pests? I'm thinking like marigolds in a bucket with potatos or peppers etc.(Or another ideas anyone has) I'm in the Disney area of Florida if that makes a difference. Thanks in advance to any who answer

Hollis: What do you think about no-till farming? I live in NJ and have sand & clay looming soil. In the past, I was amending with horse manure and cover crop mix. I limit my tilling but not completely.

Be careful with horse manure. They sometimes spray the grass hay with an herbicide called Grazon. It goes through the horse unchanged and through composting and can kill or seriously stunt your garden plants.

I deep tilled my beds until I worked out all the roots. After I had the ground worked I amended with Black Kow cow manure each year. Once I had the ground worked and amended I no longer need to deep till because I have Sandy soil. I only cultivate which is only 2-4 inches deep. Each year I layer on more cow manure and cultivate to incorporate with existing soil.

I reckon Nancy chooses that music when she edits videos? That is some sexy music! I can just imagine if you play that over loudspeakers in the field... LOL... just kidding! I started buying from Dixondale Farms about 3 or 4 years ago. I think it was your channel back then that gave me that information. I ordered mine in early October this year to ship on their earliest date that is November 14th, 2022. I'm so excited they will be here soon! I get the variety pack that has the three short day variety pack each year. It is so affordable and free shipping! It is enough for me at my homestead that is in northwest Florida. It's just me nowadays and the dog but he isn't supposed to have onions.

I just have a question. I’ve been side tracked by a very major surgery. I have thousands of dollars worth of black kow, soil, wood, peat all in my backyard that I didn’t get to use before my surgery. How long before it all goes bad? I was told I won’t be able to lift, bend and pull anything before February 2023. I’m just sad. 😢I’d managed to build a few of the items like the table, 2 container benches, 1 potato bench before my carpal tunnel surgery in June. of 2022. All the wood for the other projects just sitting in the backyard because I just had the major surgery 11/07/22.

One of your videos sir had to do with marigolds plants for bees to benefit garden ,would that be a concern about a possible sting?

I’m not concerned with bee stings. I am not allergic to them. Some people are allergic to them and should avoid them. I have found, bees don’t bother you if you don’t bother them. Yellow jackets are another story. They will sting you for no reason. Beware of yellow jackets

Have you guys ever done onions in containers? Not bunching onions. Like Patterson onions or any that get big bulbs like the ones harvested here? I am going to try it in containers that are 6 inches deep, 20 inches long, 16 inches wide. Just because that is what I already had instead of buying special ones new.❤😊

I would give food to the elderly, and to food banks. I'm 51, so I need this to happen soon, I'm not getting any younger, wish me luck.
