How to Start Onion Seeds Indoors! 🌿🧅👩‍🌾 // Garden Answer

[@bridgetmichelle6663]

Have to admit, I went back and watched the clip of him chasing the cat away a couple times. So funny. Thanks for leaving it in.

[@JesusIsLoveTR]

Guilty lol 😅🤚🏾

Same!!

[@rosemountfarms2897]

So funny 😂

Me too...didn't realize what was happening at 1st.

[@angelmusic22]

Same. Lol

[@milliebutterfly]

I needed this. My kids have decided they want a raised bed garden. That means mommy has to start researching how to make these items successful so we don't get tears at the end of the growing seasons. Pray for me, y'all.

[@cynthiarafferty7662]

You and your children can plant cherry tomato plants, pepper plants, lettuce from seed and radishes from seed in raised beds. Radishes are fun for the children to plant because they grow quickly. You can also grow cucumbers, beans or cantaloupes and use long poles tied together to make a teepee and let the plants grow up the poles. We did this when my son was little and left an opening so he could sit in his plant vine teepee. Children love to do that. Have fun as children love to garden and you don't have to plant hard to grow plants to amuse them.

[@milliebutterfly]

@@cynthiarafferty7662 oh thank you for all of these suggestions. My children will love these ideas, and they eat these things. I'm so new to this. I really appreciate your advice.

[@cynthiarafferty7662]

Glad I could help. Gardening is supposed to be fun and not a chore. Just water and fertilize the plants consistently and the sun and mother nature will do the rest.

[@CYRiPKK1]

I used to separate the seedlings too until I saw on Charles Dowding's channel that it is entirely optional. In fact, he always plants them in clumps of 4-5 and use the twist off method to harvest the biggest one, and the ones that remain in ground gets to grow on with more space. I know that Laura prefers to harvest all her onion in one go, so planting them separately is ideal for her. I tend to harvest as I need and planting in clumps makes it easier. Just throwing this option out there for whoever needs it.

[@terridiamond7862]

Thank you. That was my question. Glad I found answer.

[@auyannaplants]

I love starting onions from seed. We have to grow short day onions but I love being able to grow so many different types. We use some and also make onion powder which I love.

[@rita.---]

How do you make onion powder? First time hearing this.

[@auyannaplants]

@@rita.--- I sliced the onions and dehydrated them in my dehydrator. When I am ready to make onion powder I put them in my coffee grinder and grind it up. So good! You may never want to go back to store bought onion powder 😀

[@InTheGardenWithClaudia]

Wow! I’m impressed! 👏

[@rita.---]

@@auyannaplants Thank you, never thought to do that. I see how that would be way better than store bought.

[@auyannaplants]

@@rita.--- you are so welcome. Hope you give it a try

[@cathyrodeheaver8694]

Needed this instruction. Just purchased onion seeds for first time. Glad you didn't edit out the cat bathroom part. That made it more real and not so impersonal.

[@melissajones9334]

LOL!!! So entertaining, it's ok for him to do his thing in the dirt, it's the natural order of things. Thanks for not editing it out, made my day. Thanks for the videos.

What a good laugh Russel gave me at 4AM...yes I know I have a sick sense of humor😲. Rest of the video was very good also. Sure nice to know how to use the Vermiculite on top.

It’s always such a joy to see you creating plant magic in the greenhouse. 😊😊🇨🇦

I love the single topic seed starting videos. This is my first year staring seeds and I need all the help I can get. Thank you Laura

[@deannededemarievogel-hampt9954]

I'm in good company, we all loved the clip of Aaron chasing Russell out of the pot...GOOD STUFF 👍 LAURA YOU LOOK MARVELOUS!! I hope you're feeling good. Take care of yourself. Love to you all.

[@christinasanders2742]

So much great information Laura. I did not know about the different types of onions needing so many hours of light. Good to know. I'm afraid Cheddar stole the show though...so funny!!! That's why we all love your videos so much...things like that are just life happening!

[@leahsilverstein]

Russell tends to steal the show so Cheddar had to step up now and leave an impression as well 🤣

[@Tristargardens]

I bought my onion seeds from True Leaf Garden and planted them 6 days ago. I have Walla Walla, Ruby, and Utah Spanish and they have germinated today. That's 6 days with an excellent germination rate! I'm not happy with my grow light system so that's my next project. Enjoy your videos! I'm near Vancouver Washington in zone 7.

[@chrishardman586]

You guys are so delightful to watch. Enjoy that new angel.

Holy moly! I'd never think you could seed that heavy. The light in the studio make your skin look gorgeous! You are SO happy too. God bless.

[@michellepower7163]

Omg you always make a video on what I want to grow lol Iv just bought some onion bulbs to grow on for the first time. Your looking great for having a two week only baby. Take it easy. Lots of love xx

Thank you for covering Everything, even things like what “premoistened” potting mix looks like! So good for all us beginners! ☺️

[@joannagel4681]

I just planted my onions, it’s good to know that I can trim them once they get some height until I’m ready to plant.

[@janosszmolar9504]

I hope you have good success! I planted onions a couple weeks ago (I'm in the south) and I've only had just a couple come up, out of two trays 😞.

[@smoothsailingmp]

You kill me....love the laughter and the ...oh well...go ahead.....and when you smile Laura, you look just like your mom....when she smiles

[@christiedutton2751]

It looks so easy I think I will start some onions from seed. On an off note...why would anyone give a video a thumbs down. How dare they?!?!?! If they don't like it they can just skip to the next video.

hahaha , the Russell moment was SOOO funny!!! Loved rest of the video, too. Blessings, love and hugs.

[@coagulatedsalts4711]

you can grow your own onion seeds from the supermarket by planting the bulbs and letting them bloom. they should look like dandelions when ready and once they start to turn brown then cut it off and put it in a paper bag for a week, the seeds should be ready 😌😍

[@tashaallen8760]

You’re very similar to an onion.. many layers, wife, mother, daughter, gardener, vlogger.. I appreciate it. Love me some green onion, thanks for sharing 😊🧅👍🏽

Love to learn about planting these onions! I'm such a novice in the veggie garden! And OH thank goodness I'm not the only one chasing local cats around/away this time of year! I was literally thinking "Am I EVER going to stop them from 'using' my yard's garden beds in winter???" (I have TWO giant repellent bottles ready to go once the storms roll through!) And Wow! nice grow light/shelving AND sound board! Thanks for all you do!

Great video nice to know I can trim the onion as it grows. The cat and Aaron were to funny.

[@ozarkview928]

Very informative! Thank-you ! I missed not getting a baby peek 🥰but I understand. I seen one negative comment about baby talk , mind you! One towards probably hundreds of positive ones ! I hope that one didn’t scare you off from sharing Samantha and Benjamin!

[@terrymcdowell4896]

Was so impressed with the spray bottle. I ordered some from Gardner’s Supply but was disappointed to find out it was not the same one. Different nozzle and does not have a weighted tube. It’s like a regular spray bottle. Still loved the video. Russell is such a character.

[@dianesondreaal9617]

So excited to get seeds going! I wasn’t going to do onions, I think I will now. Thanks Laura, you are looking great!

[@mariannemiller8275]

I haven't had good results starting from seed, so I'm paying attention and learning alot. I've decided to give it another shot. So glad you did onions, last year I planted onion bulbs and they were quite small, now I know why. I will definitely give seeds a try. I love your videos, I work in a dental office with tv's in our ops and have stated putting your videos up, so many patients have commented on your beautiful gardens, you might just pick up some more subscribers.

You linked to Johnny’s seeds who are only selling to commercial farmers right now. 😢 But thanks for letting us know about the candy onions, I’m excited to try them out.

[@Joyful-lw2ky]

Thanks for the video!! I may try this myself this year again after seeing your video. I tried a small pack of onions last year. They did not get very big. Tried seeds direct into the garden. They did nothing but encouraged by your video to go a different route and try again!! (Also your videos wouldn't be complete without a Russell or Cheddar visit!! LOL!!)

[@kierstin1989]

Yup, Russell totally tinkled in that pot! 😹 The dangers of kitties and potted dirt. My cat likes to nibble my indoor plants, so I've had to check and be sure all is edible and non-toxic for cats. He snacks on my Boston fern pretty much every day! Fern doesn't seem to care since I'm giving it good Espoma fertilizer.

Hi Laura. I live in Italy and have always planted my onions & garlic using the bulbs...amyways I think that this year I'll try with the seeds because, as you said, I never know exactly what type of onion I'll have...just one thing! Sometimes my onions grow a beautiful long flower. Do you think I.could get the seeds from that and if yes, please tell me how I can....thank you so much for sharing all your garden tips 🌿

This video was so helpful and informative and encouraging. I've never grown onion from seed but I think I will try this year. In past seasons I've planted both plants in trays and from individual bulb. My onions never grew larger than the size of a golf ball or tennis ball, letting them grow inground for 5 to 6 months. Now I know why. Thank you Laura.
