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 🙏

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!

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.

That warms my heart ❤️❤️❤️

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 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.

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. 😇👩🏾‍🌾
