GROWING ONIONS Made Easy | From Seed to Table: How to Grow Onions | Step-by-Step Guide for Gardeners

Thanks Barry. That was helpful especially showing how you cure them. As I mentioned this summer I lost a large portion of my harvest during curing in my very hot shed. Next year I'l spread them out in plastic crates similar to what you used and put them on the front porch where they'll be under cover but n the open air to cure. Hopefully that will solve my problem.

[@nodignorfolkgardener4575]

That's so good to hear that you were able to get value from our video Frank! Your porch idea sounds a great idea-here's to a much better outcome next year! 🍀

Great video, I start my seeds just after Xmas normally. I suffered with Allium leaf miner at home, so I grow them up the allotment now which seems to be clear but I always cover mine now.

[@nodignorfolkgardener4575]

Thank you! It's great that you have found a solution to the allium leaf miner, once discovered always best practice to cover while active!

Great tips, I've been growing them from seed in modules like you for the last few years now with better success than pricking them out or from sets. One tip when harvesting them is to not yank them too hard by the neck but rather use a trowel to help tease them out if needed. If the necks become squished or damage rot can form later during drying.

[@nodignorfolkgardener4575]

I really appreciate your input! It’s always great to hear from fellow gardeners who have found success with similar methods. Your tip about handling the necks is so valuable!

Another excellent video 🎉thank you.

I'm going to do my onion from seed in January, so I should get 2 harvest. Those Bhaji looked amazing. Neen oil really good for aluim leaf miner.

[@nodignorfolkgardener4575]

Thank you for your kind words Mark! I’m glad you liked the Bhaji. Best of luck with your onion seeds in January; I can’t wait to hear about your harvest!

[@markshaw5835]

@@nodignorfolkgardener4575 can't be any worse then this year lol. My onion never took off this year. But I think I was to blame 😕. So gonna change how I do them this year

[@nodignorfolkgardener4575]

It sounds like you've learned a lot from this year's experience! Every gardener has their ups and downs, and it's great that you're ready to adapt and try new methods next time!

[@don5125]

Thank you Mrs W 😇👏👏

You're very welcome! I'm glad you enjoyed the content!

[@katedijkers7827]

This is a really thorough break down on how to grow onions. Thank you. One question: I grow my onions together with carrots. Can I use the same bed in consecutive years to do this or is it better to alternate beds?

[@nodignorfolkgardener4575]

Thank you so much for your kind words! I'm happy you found the video useful. As for your question, rotating crops is a great practice to maintain soil health, so alternating beds would be beneficial as certain pests can overwinter in your soil from onions and carrots!

Thank you for the lovely comment! I hope your son enjoys them as much as I do!

[@KenHJones]

Great stuff Barry and Mrs W. The most useful thing for me was your timeline. I think I have been sowing too late. I'll follow your example next year. Those Bhajis! Goodness me what a great idea. I didn't know how to make them, although I'm an expert at eating them. What oil do you cook them in?

[@nodignorfolkgardener4575]

I'm glad you found the timeline helpful Ken! Sowing at the right time for you can make all the difference. As for the bhajis, Mrs W cooked them in vegetable oil for a nice crispy texture. Enjoy making them next year with what I am sure will be an amazing onion harvest!

Great post pal very informative i have been growing for the last 2 years i shall be taking on board what you have said keep em coming pal

Thanks for your feedback Lawrence! I'm glad you found it informative. Keep up the great work with your veg growing journey, and I’ll keep the content coming!

[@don5125]

I have a concern:- Here in Devon we have a compost bin where garden waste is collected. I’ve noticed buying low cost no peat compost from garden centre it had some things in it made me think it’s municipal compost that was previously collected. Could this spread disease ???

[@nodignorfolkgardener4575]

Thank you for bringing up such an important concern! It’s always good to be aware of what we’re putting in our gardens. It is heated to very high temperature and so you would think any deceases would be killed, however most of the life is too, so leaving it for a few months makes it a better compost. One will never know what went into it. But if you’re worried, I would suggest looking for a certified organic compost to be on the safe side.

[@TERRYSUTT1]

Do you multi sow ANY variety of onion,I have only multi sown White Lisbon spring onion?

[@nodignorfolkgardener4575]

Hi Terry, good to hear from you! Yes, multi-sow all of the allium family accept shallots and I shall be experimenting with this next season.!

[@vanessawilkinson9855]

Hi Mr & Mrs W…great video 🎉I’ve planted some over wintering Autumn Champion sets and some saved shallots but this year I’m not doing red sets. I’ve bought some long red Florence & Holland Blood Red seeds as apparently you can eat as a spring onion but also leave to mature. Sowing Zebrunne again but looking for some onion seed to try for the first time. Do you have any suggestions? I don’t want huge ones. I’ve seen one Santero F1 which are apparently good for white rot…leaf miner is awful. I now cover mine in enviromesh

[@nodignorfolkgardener4575]

Great to hear you have grown overwintering onions Vanessa! Florence and Holland are great choices too. As for onions Sturon and Rijensburgar are good varieties. We didn't get on with Santero but that is not to say you wouldn't, sometimes certain soils suit the veg!

[@norton750cc]

Onion pakora.
