How to Grow and Harvest Bunching Onions in Containers

[@rockyusa2012]

600 pounds of onions. Great. Also fantastic to give away to others and help out. 👏

[@bryanholder1329]

Funny how this video came out the day after I just planted 700+ Dixondale Farm onions including the 200TX sweet lol. I wrote them a note on my order that DDF should reach out to y’all and thank you for speaking so highly of them etc. because without you guys I wouldn’t have heard of them. I too and going to be donating some to the food bank and to neighbors in need to continue your tradition. Together we all can be “the positive change that we see in the world with our positive actions”. Cheers from Cleveland TX. Please keep the videos coming.

[@terry902]

I also ordered from there based on Hollis’ recommendation. They are looking good! I have the green onions in smaller pots and larger ones going per Hollis’ instructions. This is going to be the year of the onion for me if they all turn out. I already have friends asking about when they will be ready because if all goes well, I will have plenty to share with my senior friends. By his hands, we are fed. I love that!

[@MrJaxparadize]

Got mine from a local store that grows them in my area FOR our area. With the Black Kow compost and his recipe for the container soil mix, my 4 weeks looks like a miniature Forrest! I have them in a lifted garden “bed” and cloth planters. Only downside to them is that you must water more often than in hard pots. In my area, growbags shouldn’t really be used unless you have an overwatering problem, otherwise the high moisture could drown the plant since water doesn’t evaporate as quickly as the grow bags. I have an overwatering problem. Lol! Love this channels! Such good people and nothing but help for the garden community! 🤍🤍🤍

[@jas77450]

I too ordered from them after your video. Thank you

[@Sarah19604]

That was so fun to watch you from planting until harvest. God is good!

[@jomurphey]

Hollis it's always great to see you in videos, but to see Nancy working beside you is even better.

[@brownjoela]

My wife and I really enjoy your videos! Thanks for bringing a little more joy to the world. We love bing bing!

[@jillhanley3119]

Your 5 gallon brought my family happiness.grandkids love the garden.thank you.

[@collinE83]

Great job. I had to show my wife the video this crop turned out so good lookin. She’s eating them almost daily with her ramen and chicken fried rice and she’d love these instead of having to buy them.

[@collinE83]

Also, I’m still working my way through your videos, but I would love to see a video or two on you growing a variety of plants in used soil. It would be fun to see what each plant looked like if you did a container or two of each, and just tried it with year old soil from a previous harvest and didn’t add anything new to it. And we could see if they were smaller, tasted worse, didn’t develop at all, etc. Anyway, wonderful videos.

[@TexasMyTexas]

As a Texan, I approve this message!! 🥳🥳🥳 💁🏼‍♀️

[@freddking4389]

You guys are awesome.

[@shippsurbangarden323]

[@roggie77777]

I got some last year and planted them. My wife thought she would help and weeded the area. Only problem, is was the onions.

[@venessaevans8674]

Hahahahaha sorry but I had to laugh.

Just planted 150 Dixondale TX sweets today. Received way more than I ordered, so planted smaller ones up in pots too.

[@calistarlim3242]

Those look gorgeous. Gave me ideas on what to make for lunch

[@donnalovintexas8760]

Last night I ordered from Dixiedale. A Southern collection of 3 types I believe that will ship next week. Thank you for the great video.

[@kimmys3604]

J'adore ces oignons verts 😍. Je suis aussi d'origine asiatique comme votre femme et j'en mets partout en cuisine ! Merci pour la vidéo

[@wandaparker6183]

Y'all make it looks so easy 😊 That's when it's God's ordained. Thanks for sharing these gifts with us 😇

[@LouiseBelleau-q3z]

Always a blessing to watch your videos!!!! Just love Nancy's sweet smile! It is wonderful that you thank God for His provision!!!😊

[@HollisNancysHomestead]

Thanks so much

[@jostronach7877]

Another great and useful video 👍

[@rebeccajones9735]

And here I am thinking bunching onions multiplied in the ground when you plant them! I learned something today. Thanks. Bless you folks and Bing Bing!

[@mousiebrown1747]

Wow! TX super sweets! That’s a real gift! Can’t cook in Louisiana without a good onion! Next year I’ll try them. Sounds like the TX Legends stored well.

[@marktoldgardengnome4110]

You can't go wrong with Dixondale Farms. Free shipping, excellent product and best prices. We used them for 2--3 years. 2 years ago we switched to starting from pelleted seed from Johnny's Seed. It worked great. 1000 seeds for $7-10. Split the order with my grandson, 500 seeds each, $5 each. Wonderful germination. It doesn't get any cheaper than that if you're on a budget. 😊 TYFS Hollis n Nancy

[@lesterhersh7184]

I like your lay out organized

[@thejacobhill]

A few hundred pounds oh my.. we had like 350 onions and it last us about 9 months . That's a great blessing and to be able to pass it on .

[@charlenecole1840]

Just love watching you two @ your wonderful gardening tips🙏

[@ZJhontu1]

Man… I’ve said it a few times… saying it again… Brother, I wish my property was just THE most beautiful fence separating us away as neighbors. I’d be livin next door t’Paradise. 😎 Love y’all so much.

[@shippsurbangarden323]

May God continue to bless you guys

[@Shelzbells]

Those were really some pretty onions. I wished I was your neighbor LOL

[@dannystout7715]

Thanks for the video.. You guys got me hooked on Dixendale farms onion..Last year was the first year I've been able to grow huge onions in my own garden.. Thanks again and God Bless you guys!

[@wendyc.5769]

That’s just beautiful!!

[@rainlyte2003]

Hey Hollis. those are some nice lookin' onions. Did I hear a bit of Justin Wilson come through? LOL I wish Miss Nancy would do more cooking videos. Hugs & Happy Gardening!

[@HollisNancysHomestead]

LOL. I always liked him. Yes ma’am, Nancy has many new cooking videos coming out this year. Her next one will be released Tuesday night (3-8-22) at 6:00pm. You will see many of her cooking videos very soon. I am so proud of how hard she worked on her new videos. They are so relaxing and fun to watch. Hope you enjoy them👍

[@flareout4567]

Dixondale is a great company this will be my second year with them last year I had an awesome harvest

[@danielleterry180]

Husband ordering 1 bunch of the mixed variety of onions tomorrow but I have to start my green onions from seed, my hat is off to the two of you I built my above ground beds 7 laid out my commercial weed barrier just got my 12 yards of compost/manure/garden soil delivered ( to front of house and have to get beds filled by shovel and wheelbarrow to back yard 😩) if I can do just 1 bed a day I will still be in time for planting 😁 hope I haven’t bit off more than I can chew lol

[@Liwayputi]

Looking good!!

[@MrHansSchuman]

Wooow.. i definitely try it

[@janejohnson852]

wonderful thank you for the information,

[@aliceleishman5596]

I started growing onions last year…and I used Dixondale starts. I had good success! Going for it again this year! Also in Central Florida.

[@kcmama91]

I’m new to your channel but love it!! Thank you for so much wonderful homestead -backyard garden info ! God bless

[@HollisNancysHomestead]

Welcome to the family ❤️❤️🐶. Have a peaceful weekend 🙏

[@suzycowan5072]

I just love watching your videos, there is so much information to take in and I have a notebook full of your wonderful instructions through the years that I have been following you. There is just one thing I wish to tell you, I just cringe every time I watch you cut off the tops of these onions mainly because they are my favorite part of the onion. Don't get me wrong, I just love the whole onion, and like you I like the bulbs a bit bigger, but I tend to eat a lot of baked potatoes and also Mexican/American food in which I use a lot of the green onion tops for, they are just so tasty. I think I have my husband talked into building me a vegetable rinsing table for my garden this year, and if I'm lucky maybe I can talk him into a few more of your builds. Yesterday he built me a sifting frame for my compost pile that I have been working on for over a year now. I want to thank you and Nancy so much for all you do for us and also for your community, I would love to grow a big garden this year and also help those in our small community and pass along the goodwill of our Creator. God Bless the both of you for all you do, and may you both stay healthy, be safe, and have much prosperity in all you do. ~SuzyJC-in Pataskala-Ohio/USA_05.27.2022~

Love you guys!

[@axetheartist6296]

Brother, you and you wife are the best. I love watching your videos. I'm so motivated. Starting to grow my own this year

[@revelatoryartist]

Great video

[@mrs.billysanders6711]

My husband and I really enjoy your videos. I did not know that bunching onions were pretty much the same as green onions and they are just young onion tops! Also, Nancy, your hair looks extra smooth in this video!

[@kele1264]

I love onions, especially scallions. I love a bulb too. Great video, as usual. I can't wait for you to show us how to store them properly to last for a long time. My stuff goes bad quickly. I hate to waste food. So it will be very helpful to me to see how you do it! Thank you for your information and your efforts. Your homestead is beautiful, your advice is invaluable. Good health and happiness to you and yours!

[@RonHelton]

Yum.

[@christinehbailey]

That is my goal! To grow enough to share with my neighbors and church family! We are just starting out here so not large enough for that, but adding as much as we can when we can!

[@HollisNancysHomestead]

You will be blessed beyond measure when you share with those in need. 😇🙏👍. Keep up the good work

[@dottieboatman9816]

Love watching you guys. Have learned lots. I even bought a Green Stalk this year, lol.

[@dalepres1]

I love your videos and have watched from your amazing back yard to your new farm size garden. I suggest putting two to four times as many onions in each pot. they can touch or up to a quarter to half inch between them. Even that far apart is wasting space, time, soil, and fertilizer.

[@dalepres1]

I guess I should have watched the whole video first 😀. I was thinking thinner onions but since you like that bulb, you did it perfect! But, then, you already knew that.

[@urbanbackyardcontainergardenin]

Thanks to you I started ordering my onions from Dixondale. I have been very happy with them. I read that onions needs ammonia sulfate to grow and produce nice onions. So far so good!!

[@everybodyluvsmonkeys]

I've been ordering my onions from Dixondale for a few years now. Always a good turn out .

[@crazycat1923]

I love watching you guys! You have inspired me so much in my backyard garden. I’m now going to try growing my own bunching onions, thanks to you. I REALLY love seeing Nancy cook with what is grown from your garden, such an inspiration! You guys keep doing what you are doing! God bless!

[@lucieengen7046]

Greetings from British Columbia, Canada! Your channel came up on KZbin and I have to say I am loving your content, your style of presentation and your excellent information. The way you show start to finish on your growing is so beneficial. Although we live in very different climates there is a lot of information that is relevant to me. I am binge watching your videos and wanted to thank you both for the high quality of your video’s. Love your pup too 🥰. God Bless 🤗🇨🇦.

[@bonniebaird4240]

It looks like you guys are around / north of Ocala from looking at the trees. We are south of Tampa. Can't wait to tear up the yard after retirement this summer😁

[@guyfillion9972]

HI, I've been watching your you tube gardening videos for a while now and have learned allot from your methods and techniques on gardening, I love them as I live in Calgary Alberta Canada, it's a short growing season hear so I have to start most of my seedlings in doors in January or February and allow them to grow a good size then transplant them outside in April which is early in the season but I cover everything till the plants outgrow the small green houses I make for them, hears one thing that I have done for three years and that is at the end of every season, I always cultivate or bury all of the remaining growth from my gardens and that makes the the next years dirt so black and rich for that years gardening. Now mind you I don't have the kind of space that you guys do as I'm a renter so I have a bunch of small filling Cabinets that I take all of the drawers out and turn them on there backs then fill with dirt and use as gardens on my balcony and I get to grow a bunch of stuff like Celery, Cucumbers, Leaks, Carrots, Icicle radishes, bell peppers and a few other things. but I'm grateful to watch how you garden cause it has helped me for the last few years to grow bigger, better Veggies and I hope this year as always I hope to get lots to harvest.

[@free2bme77]

I absolutely love your videos because I've learned so much from watching them. It's incredibly helpful to see the process from start to finish. I just ordered some onions from Dixondale Farms and I can't wait to start planting them. Blessings to you and your sweet wife Nancy!

[@nahnisjourney1406]

I’m going to have to try onions soon.

[@williamwarnes6431]

I too use Dixondale onions. Each bunch will have a small portion that are super small and need a little extra attention. Your suggestion is perfect for growing the small onions for green bunch onions. As we all know, green bunch onions are essential for cooking Asian food - Kim Chi, Chop Che, ets. Excellent video.

[@theresadanos9361]

Thank you so much for sharing love watching your video 💜 I just planted bunch onions and I did what you said to do with the little one I bought the short day sample can’t wait to try them mostly the Cajun red onions …Dixondale are very nice people I had a question the same day I got a callback and helped me out… I will use them again!! God bless you and Nancy 💜 your friend from southeast Louisiana 💜💛

[@jsmall5952]

I have just come across your channel and have been working many of your videos. Your voice has a lean to the country side like myself, do you mind me asking what state you are from and live in? Myself I was born in Houston, TX but have been in NC since I was 2yrs old

[@HollisNancysHomestead]

I was born and raised in Jacksonville Florida. My father was born and raised in a farm in Meigs Georgia. He had a thick Georgia accent. All us kids seemed to have picked up on that.

[@TheUllyAnna]

It’s so nice to see your farm and how you guys work hard taking a little time to help us. Thank you, here from Japan 👋🏼 love your channel

[@HollisNancysHomestead]

Thanks for watching! We grow many Asian vegetables and enjoy them very much. Enjoy the videos and best of luck to you this year in your garden❤️

[@backwoodscountryboy1600]

I have grown that particular brand of onion and that's as close to the vidalia onion as I have ever found they are really good, I'll highly recommend the dixondale onions it's a good company and I've never had a bad onion in the last 10 years from them

[@soonzach4017]

I always see you guys just throw the scrapes on the ground. Do you guys not have a compost pile that you do? And if not can you tell us viewers why you choose not to have one. And if you do have one can you do a video on your compost and how you care for it and use it. Thank you, God Bless you both
