Now, Alan.... You are in the South. It's not pronounced Okra, it's Okree.... Ask Travis at Lazy Dog Farm, he will back me up on this one. Just like Houston County in Georgia is pronounced How-ston..... It's a southern thing. We planted our onions in early November and pulled them this week. They are not as big as usual, but they will still eat just fine. I should have thinned them more. Some were started from seed (Grannex hybrid), and others were from Dixondale Farms this season. I may have to give wicking tubs a go as I still have the material to make 8 more if I want.

[@BIGALTX]

You are right about the pronunciation. In fact, I have a shirt from host tools that says 0K - REE.

[@adnacraigo6590]

Nice onions!

[@BIGALTX]

Thank you 😋

[@SimplyStacyL]

My onions fell over really early this year and were all tiny. I grow in a raised bed but didn’t feed them like I usually do. Makes a big difference evidently.

[@BIGALTX]

Yes, it does. They need to eat… A lot.

[@laurab8547]

NTX here (East of Dallas) I started pulling my onions last week. I got my onion sets at Steve’s Nursery in Greenville. I got a great harvest. Most not as big as yours but some of them are. This is my first year to try onions and I’m pretty happy with what I ended up with.

[@BIGALTX]

That is awesome!

[@EdMerritt-wb3yd]

Just finished harvesting my Texas Legend onions. Nice large ones too.

[@BIGALTX]

Nice!!

[@pmctee]

Good job!

[@BIGALTX]

Thanks! 😊

[@kcjilly2515]

Onions look great. Mine were early too. I had mostly nice medium sized ones ( between baseball and softball size), except my red ones…they were mostly golf ball sized. Enjoy the videos , keep em coming. Hope you’re making lots of mailbox money

[@BIGALTX]

Hahaha… still cashing a few checks 👍🏻😎

[@chrisvanderwoerd9932]

Last year I planted 3 Earthboxes of onions. We ate home grown onions from March through August. This year I planted 4 Earthboxes (in October), but many of them bolted early. The big ones are 4 1/2 inches. I learned this year that some onion species are prone to bolting. I planted red creole and the all bolted (last year they didn't???). I also planted yellow granex (known to not bolt) and only a couple bolted (but they were still 4"). The yellow granex are delicious! Maybe you could do a video on non bolting onion species for next year.

[@BIGALTX]

I usually plant yellow granex.

[@bigtitan27]

Thanks for posting this. I've been thinking about planting some onions in containers next year,. We've had a foot plus of rain in the last couple of weeks. I've lost a few onions from them rotting in the ground

[@BIGALTX]

This one reason I love containers. Rain is just not a factor.

[@deanneidholt1635]

Thanks Alan..I also began digging onions this week..mine look about like yours..mine in ground..my best crop this year is weeds...growing in Wood county

[@BIGALTX]

Did they mature early like mine did?

[@Not_So_Weird_in_Austin]

Nice work. I did short day and bunching onions in 5 gallon wicking tubs under Kale as an experiment and got good results. The bulb onions had various sizes and I didn't get softball sized. I think I will do bunching onions next year namely due to the small sizes of my beds in the fall

[@BIGALTX]

Sounds like a plan 👍🏻😎

[@jerrythomas773]

I pulled mine last Sunday not real big first time but my setup worked great

[@BIGALTX]

Good to hear

[@LarryGibsonMusic]

Always enjoy your videos. Quick question regarding the fabric you have on the ground: What is it called and where do you purchase it?

[@BIGALTX]

It is VEVOR landscape cloth but not sure I can recommend it :(

[@rbljackson]

How to you store these to keep them for the spring/summer so they don't go bad? Im going to have to look up what the wicking tubs are...never tried it.

[@BIGALTX]

Look at my “playlists“. You will find a playlist on wicking tubs. It will tell you everything you need to know about how to build them, where to find them… Etc.

[@JeffEarnest]

Are the tubs anything like the muck tubs at Walmart. I don't eat alot raw but I do use in my cooking. Also we have not been getting much rain here for quite a few years so watering will be a must and I will have to drain holes in .I was wondering how high the holes are from the bottom?

[@BIGALTX]

My Internet is down so I can’t send you a proper link. But, look at my playlists. I have a playlist on wicking tubs. It will tell you everything you need to know.

[@richardpallotta6158]

Bro, I'm from way north...what the bleep is a wicking tub?? Does it have drainage holes? I'm gonna try thosebreathable fabric bags...

[@BIGALTX]

My new Internet is down so I can’t use my PC, and cannot send you a proper link. But, if you’ll look at my playlists, I have one on wicking tubs. It will tell you everything you need to know.

[@charlenequinilty7252]

My onions were terrible this year. Lost lots and the rest just did not grow much.

[@BIGALTX]

That’s terrible. Do you know why?

[@charlenequinilty7252]

@@BIGALTX no. Just crazy weather here in Louisiana. Most froze.
