BRAIDING ONIONS FOR STORAGE

The onions have been curing for 3 weeks so its time to braid them for winter storage. Braiding onions is pretty simple and you just need a piece of string and know how to braid. Once our onions are braided we will hang them in our barn loft and I take 1 braid at a time up to the house until its time for freezing weather then all the onions are taken in. This just saves us some pantry room right now during canning season.

[@toddsherfey6236]

Good job young man. God speed

[@ritahopkins7213]

[@lindacole1653]

Great video Jared. 🤗

[@bigDH123]

That is very cool Jared, i have never seen onions braided before, i will certainly try that.

[@MoneypitHomestead]

Great video and I wish we had enough onions to braid I have never seen anyone braid their onions but next year I hope that we have enough to do this! What a wonderful way to store onions!

[@TheBeardedCarpenter]

Howdy Jared- that’s a mighty pretty braid! I don’t know if I could master that like you have, I just barely can tie my boots lol. Thank you so much for sharing this. God bless y’all

[@annmerseal5016]

TYFS - 👍🏻👍🏻

[@randyrejer4219]

Well you lost me about the fourth onion but you sure made it look easy enough. I always enjoy your videos. Especially the ones with the family.

[@kathygarber9407]

Jared , son I’m telling you I am amazed at all you do ! I know my Pappy knew how to braid onions and probably knew a bit about canning . But he didn’t do them, granny did and us kids . So it just warms my heart to watch you ! Pap raised big fields of corn and had several tobacco bases and ran his own lumber mill, he was a busy man , like you are . I love ❤️ you n your family

[@RonRay]

I really enjoy your videos because y'all do things the "old" way. I'm old and I love the old ways that works.

[@danvanhoose6783]

Good job bud.I braid garlic too.good lookin onions.

[@janetcrane59]

Now with the onion recall out of California they are asking people not to eat the red, white, yellow or sweet if you don't know what company grew them. You are very blessed you have your own to enjoy and not worry over.

[@rogerhuber3133]

Jared, I had asked for you to teach us how to braid and here it is. Many thanks. Bummer is all my onions either got about cocktail size or just rotted in the ground. Maybe next year I can watch the video again and have better luck.

[@FlutyLickHomestead]

those onions can be tricky to grow, this is the best year ive had with them

[@steveclark4291]

Thank you for a very informative video ! Take care , stay safe and healthy there ! Doing well here in Kansas .

[@PawPawMountain]

Jared, You do good work! Hang on to those family traditions, the way things are headed, they will continue to be priceless! God Bless!!

[@movinon1242]

No matter how many times I watch folks try to teach braiding onions, it might as well be just magic. I simply lack that part of the brain that can comprehend how this is done.

[@kencarr2998]

I came from stoney ridge

[@theresacole2994]

Thanks Jared for teaching along with your video. I’m drying onions now so I’ll be watching your video again in order to braid mine. So glad I found you on KZbin. I love watching you and your sweet family. Love learning from y’all. God Bless.

[@LanceSheppard]

Thanks for the video. I've been wonderin what the best storage was gonna be for all our onions.

[@olddawgdreaming5715]

Good morning Jared great job with braiding the onions. Never have mastered braiding like that. Thanks for sharing with us and sharing your videos. Fred.

[@GrizzlyGroundswell]

THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR THIS VIDEO! I did not have that string to add support! Very slick and now I see how to keep adding onions. LOL, I got frustrated and grabbed a bunch of onions and just braided up their tops toward the end. That seemed to work as well, but I like the look of your examples better than my haphazard attempts.

[@billstarr9396]

Good Saturday morning to you and your family Jarrod! I agree with Janet Crane plus we are seeing mystery vegetable seeds being sent to people via the mail. This same thing has been happening in Europe, especially Britain and it is now known to be seeds sent from Chinese sources. In Britain they are encountering people coming down with stomach illnesses from zucchinis that were started by seeds that were sold in generic packaging. I don't know about anyone else, but it has me asking a boat load of questions.

[@FlutyLickHomestead]

I for sure would not be planting anything from china. Makes ya really want to save your own seeds from anything you can!

[@zw5509]

Fond memories of the 'Onion Johnnies' coming over from Europe on their bicycles and riding around Britain selling their wonderful onions braided like that! Wonder if they still do that? Good to see you using the technique, it does work!

[@joeyhardin1288]

Great video. Planted my onions with my potatoes and have no onions, they were outgrown.

[@winginitwithirishcolleen6692]

🇺🇸💚

[@movinon1242]

What happened to that video y'all posted 2-3 days ago? I think y'all were picking berries or something. It went private before I had a chance to watch it!

[@csnanny1882]

It did the same with me. I am always thinking it’s something I did. It is still not on my iPad.

[@paulatwood998]

Jared What is your favorite heirloom onion?

[@FlutyLickHomestead]

I havent tried any heirloom varieties yet but hope too

[@gregorhay123]

20 lol

[@johnsites5105]

Do you know of anywhere I can purchase any old time heirloom multiplying onions? I live in South Carolina and love your shows.

[@FlutyLickHomestead]

Thank you, I don’t know of any places, I’ve had several people asking! If I ever find any I’ll be sure to post it

[@louiejude8350]

Do start your onions from seeds?I've tried to use seeds but not having any luck. I always have to end up getting plants Looking for tips on how and when to plant.

[@FlutyLickHomestead]

I always buy my candy onions as plants from Griffith family farms in Paintsville and I plant them in March when I plant cabbage and such. They need lots of nitrogen too
