Thank you so much for explaining how to build this seed template. I had watched Martha Stewart use one, but had always thought it was very difficult to make. I think I can knock the carrot and radish 3" one out this afternoon, and the 6" onion template out tomorrow!

[@imari2305]

Beautiful onions. I never knew onions had 3 stages of "days" for growing based on where you live. I'm in NY so long day would be for me. Thank you both always for sharing your knowledge with us. Oh and love that seed template!!

[@siry5164]

Please trying to plant green onions also but after planting raw organic green onion in the ground after a couple days it died No stems showing after daily watering they dried up? Also trying to grow organic purple onion 🧅 near the other one please advise 🙏

[@oilswellnesswithmarsha3159]

[@Gray8YT]

Im going to say it agian!!! You guys have the most beautiful home grown food Ive ever seen. I can't imagine how much better they look in person❤

[@Aubergine1941]

[@anthonyschmidt4757]

Great onions also love your choice of background music cheers

[@Gray8YT]

[@sarahlegg7545]

I love that too. So many show how to start them then you never see a follow-up

[@williamrhea3535]

Since you mentioned "Black Kow" cow manure I have tried it and am very pleased with the performance. It is very considerate that the Black Kow people donated those pallets to you. You are a good ambassador for their product.

[@jenisetaylor1906]

I JUST LOVE YOU TWO. GOD BLESS YOU'LL FOR ALL THE INFO. GIVEN TO FOLKS LIKE ME. I am 69 yrs. old and able to do a lot on a much smaller scale because of your thorough instructions. THANK YOU'LL😇

[@katiemcdavid4124]

Iam in Suwannee County but I don't know anything about gardening here. (Florida north). I don't when to plant what. Help. Iam ,71 but I have tilled and fenced a small 40 x 40 approximately. From there I'm kinda lost. Where do I start??

[@HollisNancysHomestead]

Plant after your last frost date. The link below will give you your last predicted frost date by entering your zip code. I will do a new video on how to get started with your spring garden but it won’t be released until 2023. The 2022 schedule is already set and locked.

[@donnalineberry764]

I just love watching you.

I started buying black cow manure because I appreciate them supporting your channel

[@Myforevergarden]

Yes!!! Let the progression videos begin. I too have watched y’all for years and have learned soooo much from you. So excited can’t wait for your new florida homestead progression series. I pray the Lord continue to give you the strength and encouragement and drive to keep going. It’s a lot of work to begin with but it’ll be worth it in the end. Thank you for all y’all do from San Antonio Texas!

[@tammysummerfield183]

We plan to start gardening probably next yr and I want to follow your method of growing vegetables and fruit as well as herbs to cook with and use as medicinal 😃

[@tammysummerfield183]

Im anxious to lean exactly how to begin here in central Fl I’ll definitely get Black cow manure to start for sure 😄

[@dianapollex3266]

BLACK COW. WHAT A BLESSING

[@siry5164]

What’s in Black Cow please?? I’m just starting to grow a few since I’m just experimenting for now but, not much luck on Organic green onion after I just transplanted it to the grown in zone 9 in Cal. My turmeric and ginger plants are starting to grow Yeah! Please make a video on those also. God bless, beautiful 🧅🙏👍

[@tommycapps9903]

I just love all of your videos! You and Nancy always do a great job! The Lord bless you both!

[@candiceryan-supples1889]

I started buying and using Black Kow years ago after watching you. I love watching your homestead grow over the years and seeing you sponsored by a product you have truly tested and vetted. Love that OCD template, Hollis :)

[@beckykukoski8678]

I had my best onion harvest this year due to your instruction from your previous Walla Walla onion video. Learning how to properly cure them was a great help to me.

[@HollisNancysHomestead]

That warms my heart ❤️❤️❤️

[@annettenewton6240]

I thought I loved onions but I think you guys have me beat. I can almost eat an onion with everything. My husband used to never eat onions till he met me, now he loves them also. Nice job.

[@victormcox]

My wife and I just love watching your videos. We learn a bunch! Thank you for taking the time to make them! God bless you in everything you do!

[@mimiartates8956]

Yay!! I was rejoicing with you. That was a bumper harvest of onions. It looks like your family and friends will be in no need of onions for awhile.

[@lataviasmith6500]

Beautiful and bountiful onion harvest bless you Hollis and Nancy!!

[@veronicaalmeda8014]

I live in Denmark, so anything - short day - is the way to go haha, we get so little hours of sunlight and this year Springtime might even be shorter than usual since it's starting so late. I'm learning a lot from your videos and I love that you show how to grow veggies in containers and all kinds of tricks for us with small spaces. Thank you!!.

[@HollisNancysHomestead]

Thanks for sharing!!

[@PrincessShaBooBoo]

Joy has been brought to my heart and to my tummy! 😊 I love onions! They remove bacteria from the air when sliced open and makes every dish delicious! As big as those onion are I was thinking of those Walla Walla onions. ☺️ Bing Bing was checking to see if Nancy’s harvesting technique was in line. LOL What a great manager of operations. 👍🏾 900! 😳 I was huffing and puffing after planting 52 onions! 😅 Love all of your videos! You and Nancy stay blessed. 😇👩🏾‍🌾

[@joydavis4087]

Beautiful onions. Absolutely beautiful!! ❤

[@cdham1013]

I'm just starting out growing my own food, I've been looking at so many of your videos and I've enjoyed them and learned so much. I really wish that you would talk more about your zone and what to plant when. Just learning about spring and fall gardening. I live in Missouri and I'm trying to figure out what I can plant now, different sites say different things. It's September 11th, 2020, may God bless us all, but I really look to you for help. I'M DOING BUCKETS Don't have land. Thank you so much. I say you're prayer with you at the end of every video

I'm a fairly new gardener. I've been planting about 3yrs. I'm still trying to figure out when I need to start each of my vegetables. Onions have not done well for me. So I have been watching all your videos trying to take in all your knowledge. Thanks for the videos!! I appreciate it.

[@cloverdoll1228]

900 onions! Holy moly! That's enough for 3 families having an onion a day for 2 months shy of a year. You guys must be sharing with all of Florida! ;) That or you're prepared for vampires... or is that garlic. lol Either way, good job!
