Last year, my husband found 100 onion sets for $1 at Walmart! Honestly, even though we'd never planted onions before that, what did we have to lose? We bought them, split the package with my husband's parents, and let nature take its course. We got onions, and surprisingly, they never went to seed. It really was quite enjoyable watching them grow! This year is our first year planting onions from seed.

Thank you! I’ve been planting them too deep! I went out and replanted the ones I planted the day before. 😊

Mine have all greened up. Some have a little bulb on TOP. I am guessing a seed onion? So I have a few questions. 1- when/how do I collect my onion seeds? 2- can I use the greens and still seed save? How? 3- when is an actual ONION 🧅 ready to harvest? How do I tell? First time planting onion 🧅. Thanks. The video instructions were perfect! Need videos on what to do after.

I've seen some people advise to soak onion sets in compost tea before planting, is that necessary or does watering them in with the liquid fertilizer essentially do the same thing?

[@JaneDoe-ft8sz]

Just curious, my husband and I grow these for greens only. If I trim off the greens and leave the bulb, will it grow back?

[@pilsplease7561]

no

[@MyFirstVegetableGarden]

They will for a couple rounds as long as the roots are doing well Please Visit The Rusted Garden Seed & Garden Shop: www.therustedgarden.com/ - Seeds, Starting Supplies, Neem Oil, Peppermint & Other Oils, Calcium Nitrate & More.
