Great video! Loved seeing the onions grow from seed to harvest

Love to hear it😊Thank you so much for your comment!

I started a garden a couple years ago but only recently started getting serious to learn how to grow vegetables the right way and i find your video's very helpful. Thanks for taking the time to teach the rest of us out here ! I subscribed !

[@TowardGarden]

So glad you found the videos helpful and thank for sharing about your garden. Happy gardening and thank you very much for your comment!

Finally some onions. Good job

[@TowardGarden]

Hope you enjoy. Thank you so much for your comment!

[@cacoori]

Wow ,,, they look amazing 👏👏👏

[@TowardGarden]

So nice of you. Thank you so much💚😊

[@rosalindhb]

Wow, they look awesome. I have tried a few times in grow bags, with no success. I pretty sure its the Texas heat. I've just done green onions. I'll have to try again.

[@TowardGarden]

For hot areas (same as mine) you just need to start very early. Late fall is the best time. Hope you have a better result next time and thank you so much for your comment!😊

[@miztri]

I have tried growing vegetables and grow bags and it doesn't work for me so perhaps that's the problem just continue to grow in regular containers or raised beds

[@TowardGarden]

@@miztri The main difference with grow bags is that they loose moisture more often and need more watering. Hope you will have abetter results with pots.

[@jiojimenez1120]

Does fall change dates yearly? In Florida late fall when would it be from march -June?@@TowardGarden

[@leimckethan8083]

I'm also in Texas. When I start mine in February to March, I have the most success

[@coralfoliage8]

why did I think onions would be so hard to grow before now? thanks for the video, the onions look amazing haha! I just started gardening this year and already I have learned so much just by doing. I can't wait to start things from seed next year. I actually really appreciate this style of video - no voice overs, just visually learning and with captions! :)

[@TowardGarden]

So glad you like the video. Happy gardening and thank you so much for your comment!

[@ChaosOrZen]

I failed to grow onions for 2 years. Felt like an onion murderer. This year magically, all methods worked. I just wish I had planted more. My secret? Start zero indoors. They did much better direct seeded way before I planted anything else. Both seeds and starts.

[@TDAEON]

Thannk you! Bought some grown from seed at local nursey and had to separate them out and was worried about replanting depth. Appreciate the close up views. Seems i did ok so far. Great tip about loosening the soil later on.

[@TowardGarden]

Wonderful! Onions are one of those plants that roots are not picky on transplanting. Wishing you a great harvest. Happy growing and thank you so much foe the comment!😊

Oh wow! I have to downsize my garden this year and told myself I wasn't growing onions.😒 Those onions look so good, and I have those seeds. What to do? 🤔 You bet I'm dropping onion seeds manana! I'll just add a grow bag or 2 to the space.😄 Great video...as usual!👍 Happy 2024!🎉

🇨🇦I’m on a farm and have a very fertile garden soil. I have topsoil mixed with cattle manure. In fact last test all the nutrients were on the high side. I’m guessing I can get away with no additional fertilizer. I’m enjoying your videos very much especially the sound of those roots letting go near the end 😊

Any video on sweet potato's by replanting sweet potatoes. How many do you recommend in a 15lb grow bag at a time

[@TowardGarden]

I will try to do a video on sweet potatoes too. If you mean 15 gallon grow bags, plants slips 8"to10" apart, so about 5-6 slips per 15 gallon bag. Wider spacing will produce larger potatoes. happy growing and thank you for visiting.

In in San Antonio Texas I think that’s zone 8b or 9a do you know how many hours of sunlight I give that And when I do do I just bring them inside until the next day?

[@TowardGarden]

If you are asking about the seedlings, 4-6 hours of early morning sunlight will work. Only if night temperatures drop below 40-45F, bring them inside at night, otherwise they will be ok. Happy growing and thank you for visiting!

I guess you can eat them as spring onion, but the leaves are left to help curing the bulbs. Haven't tried eating them though. Glad you liked the video and thank you for your comment!

I jumped into this with pretty much no research and threw the seeds in all Willy-nilly and now I got a bunch in a single little spot and don’t know if I should risk separating them

[@TowardGarden]

You can easily separate them with no issues. They will grow larger if separated. Happy growing and thank you for visiting.

[@aimeewaite925]

What type of fertilizer are using when they are transplanted liquid or granular?

[@TowardGarden]

I usually use granular 3-4-4 (Garden-tone) . It is slow release and can be applied less frequently. The liquid ones have quicker effect but needs to be applied more frequently (weekly). But both will work. Hope this helps.

[@Harmonylovess]

Awesome video, during the seedling process when do you fertilize with the fish emulsion?

[@TowardGarden]

Glad you liked the video. I usually start feeding the seedlings when they are few weeks old or have 2-3 true leaves. you can check my video here on how to feed the seedlings kzbin.info/www/bejne/d3rImnVpZt54gNksi=GdmGFSwJyXK7Mjdu Thank you so much fro your comment!

Can you also grow spring/ bunching onions this way too ?

How long can you keep reusing this soil?

[@TowardGarden]

You can reuse the soil as long as you amend it. I have reused my soil for years. Thanks for visiting.

[@CWK1229]

What soil and compost do you like using for your veggies and fruits?

[@TowardGarden]

If you want to use bagged compost (and if you live in US) you can use Kellogg garden "Amend" kellogggarden.com/products/kellogg/amend-garden-soil-for-flowers-and-vegetables/ or organic "Garden Soil" kellogggarden.com/products/kellogg/kellogg-garden-organics-all-natural-garden-soil/ .

[@C3Voyage]

Why not let the necks bend first? Should get a larger bulb, right?

[@TowardGarden]

Yes, you are correct. Bending necks is the best sign and I mentioned it in the video. But since I am in a hot summer zone, this is the best they can grow for me. If I wait longer, they go flowering instead of growing bulbs. Thank you very much for visiting and sharing your knowledge!

I interplant onions throughout my garden to keep the bunnies out. Bunnies don’t like even a faint smell of onions.

[@theresahunt6776]

Can I cook or eat the onions right after harvesting, or do I need to wait for the onions to cure?

[@TowardGarden]

Yes, you may harvest and eat onion at any time. The main purpose of curing is to extend the storage of them. Thank you for visiting and happy growing!

[@kamariak1268]

Is it normal for the onions to be flopping over before they've bulbed? I'm wondering if its the wind or something

[@TowardGarden]

For seedlings and newly transplanted plants that is normal since they don't have the strength yet. But for mature ones, there can be many reasons for top leaves to drop early. One of them is wind. Strong winds can cause tops to become weak and fall over. The other reasons are mainly due to fungal or pest disease. Also overwatering can be another cause for them to flop over. If you don't notice any major problem with leaves and the plants, then it is definitely the wind. Protecting them from strong winds and providing some support will help them grow normal. hope this helps and thank you for visiting!

[@michelefussell2456]

Once cured where do you keep stored in Florida?

[@TowardGarden]

I am not sure how the weather is in your area in Florida, but general rule is to store them in a cool and dry area. Use onion bags or shallow boxes and place them in a well ventilated place such as cellar, pantry, or even a garage (away from direct sunlight and with 65-70% humidity). If it is too humid, place Silica Gel moisture absorber packs around them. Hope this helps and thank you for visiting!

[@goldswan7993]

Is curing when you laid them flat with the leaves on? When the leaves dry up they can be stored?

[@TowardGarden]

@goldswan7993 you got it exactly right. Yes and yes. Curing onions helps them to be stored better and longer. Thank you for visiting!

[@miztri]

Can the tops be cut off before drying them

[@TowardGarden]

It is better to keep them while drying. If you cut them before bulbs are cured, bacteria and fungi will reach to bulbs and lead to bulb rots. It basically helps to store them longer. Hope this helps and thank you for visiting!

[@jamiekeen4499]

Could you just put seeds into the pot without the transplant process?

[@TowardGarden]

Yes, you could. But you want to start early which maybe too cold for seeds to germinate if planted outdoors directly. But it is doable. Happy growing and thank you for your comment!
