How to Grow Onions from Seed

[@scottsusandehaan8351]

Brian, I imagine that most of us watching are not watching in the current month that you are filming in. So when you say it's now too late or don't plant yet, it would help if you could be more specific as to the months you are suggesting per area or zone. Your videos are so helpful. Thank you for sharing your knowledge!

The way all KZbin videos should be , clear and concise. Thanks

[@stevehill8847]

I am glad I started my "How to grow onions" search by watching this video. After a mediocre attempt last year, doing it on my own, I am looking forward to a much better harvest in 2022. I will be trying to grow a few varieties, so wish me luck.

[@NextLevelGardening]

Good luck!

[@angien24]

I have had some success with sets but switched to seedlings the past 2 years and that will be my go to from now on. Last year was a fantastic yield. My first year gardening I found out too late that I planted too deeply. I didn't realize onions like to be more shallow, so knowing that has helped with my success too. Thanks for a great video. :)

[@cindyskillman544]

From what I understand, the onion sets are 2nd year onions and what they really want is to go to flower. That's why it's unusual to get large bulbs. Our soil is workable (finally), so I'm about ready to plant out my starts. 🤞🤞🤞

[@occultustactical6138]

We sets this year. We started them in the house under a grow light. We dedicate an entire bedroom each spring and raise about 90% of crop from trays. It saves us a lot of money from going to growers or big box stores for a plants.... thanks for the tips...great info.

[@tomjeffries58]

Last year was the first time I was unsuccessful growing onions. I used sets for the first time and I blamed it on that. Since watching this video I looked up the sets I bought and realized that I had purchased long day. I used to always just get plants at the local big box whose buyer would of course supply the correct type. This was a priceless tip. Thanx! I just started my short day seeds for a spring crop.

[@farmerbob4554]

Onion sets are OK for green onions but onions are biennial and when you plant a set it’s in its second year of growth so it will go to seed before it will grow a large bulb. I grow from seed and from plants (Dixondale Farms is a good plant supplier). I think I’ve grown every short-day onion available and the best ones for my zone 10a are Yellow Granex and Red Creole. Your suggestions on fertilizing and crowding are spot on! Too much late Nitrogen will cause major bolting (I found out the hard way). I’ve found the best regimen is good old 15-15-15 in light, weekly applications until bulbing just starts then 0-50-30 as a foliar right up until harvest day. Another key is watering as if allowed to dry out plants will get stressed and bolt big time. Thanks for the informative video, very good recommendations as always. I’m going to try Neptune’s Harvest for next season’s onion crop. I prefer organic fertilizers to chemical anyway.

[@tristadavid]

Great video! I live in a very long day location (almost 19 hour days in summer) and have been growing from seed for the past couple years. I start the seeds indoors in mid-February in trays and transplant outside in April -- basically as soon as I see grass beginning to grow. Growing from seed is so much more economical than from sets, and seems to produce bigger bulbs.

[@doncook3584]

Thanks for the info on when to seed and when to put in ground. Easy to remember. This channel gave more specific info about fertilization and when to stop plus didn’t say but showed he mulches heavily. Many thanks

[@Mariposa_46]

I have an onion that my dad aised. It puts out groups of 'baby bulbs' at the tip of the tallest stem that helps spread them. Easy to plant them and makes tons more new

[@elizabethblane201]

[@jimmytaco2233]

Hey homie bolting does effect the onion in other ways besides it no longer continuing to bulb. It can greatly reduce the onions storage life and sometimes it also changes the flavor.

[@wendyread1183]

I'm admiring your trumpet vine in the background and wondering where you live to be able to grow that. I'm in the Willamette Valley (OR), so a trumpet vine is out of the realm of possibility for me. Thanks for the onion tips. Heading out to plant mine now.

[@GreenLove1]

I found out only recently that the onions sets that you buy in most stores are the long day variety. Yet another reason why in my short/intermediate zone, the onions that I grew from sets never did very much. Same with seeds that you get at your local Big Box store - walla walla, Spanish Sweet - sound fantastic, but they are long day onions.

[@farmerbob4554]

Good call. I don’t know why the big box stores sell long-day onion seed in the southern regions. I guess they make one huge purchase for every store across the country. I plant them in containers to use as chives and they work well for that purpose. I’m in zone 10a in Southern California.

[@Denisewithonei]

I am going to try onions again in November. Last November I planted sets. They flowered early and gave me very small onions. This time I will try seeds with the new information you just gave.

[@Tie-dyeGarden_dragon]

At last! A video explaining the different day-length varieties of onions! I, too, had to learn the hard way. I live in Oklahoma, where we also have a long growing season, so I assumed that meant long-day onions. That's what happens when you assume? Luckily I love the leaves almost as much as the bulbs. Anyway, thanks for the info, and the chuckles. :)

[@darlenecotter8476]

thank you I will follow your tips this planting season and let you know how it goes. This is the first year I am growing onions from seed so fingers crossed.

[@bartsexton1652]

I bought sets this year . I planted them in April or may . I’m in NC . This year I have the best looking onions I’ve ever grown . All I put to my onions was 10 10 10 around the last full week of may . And folks it’s been dry here . I hear a lot of gardeners saying they need water . Well the only water they have received is from Mother Nature. And I think that has been around or close to two inches and it’s June now . I know right before I planted my garden we had four inches and then it went to hot hot days and little to no rain for a month. Seems like when we are seeing all this rain heading our way it splits and goes around us . God is good . And I have planted all my garden this year my the moon planting and so far it has amazed me with how dry it’s been . Plus I learned a long time ago , when you water your garden the roots like to stay up top because they know they gonna be watered. So I don’t water mine except seeds .

[@jeannedawson3849]

I live in So. Cal also, and grew from seed for several years. However, with our weird weather, I had moderate success. I am now ordering Variety Short Day starts from Dixon Farm in Texas, planting them in Feb, and have large bulbs right now in the garden...Lot better success. Thanks for the very informative Video...

[@sylvierossignol9757]

Well…I didn’t add bone meal when I planted the onion bulbs but their green leaves are almost 2 ft tall but I noticed they are starting to lean over, not all. I just straightened them. We did just have quasi torrential rains for 2 days so maybe. I chose to use the bulbs after my attempt with bunching onion seeds. Anti-climactic to grow and it looks like grass. I had planted 1-2 seeds per cell…total waste of effort. Lol but will be planting them in the raised bed because it was a lot of work! Thank you for this video, I learned a couple things! I am in zone 5.

Great information as always. Thank you, love your show.

Can you please comment (agree/disagree) on a couple things other onion growers do. 1. Trimming the greens once they reach 14-15" tall down to 8-9". 2. Digging out the soil around the bulb to allow it to grow.

[@cubanmama4564]

Thanks to one of your previous videos, I planted short day onions this year and the bulbs are now 3-4 inches in diameter. I grew them from seed and planted them in containers in December-January. They are white, early, and red Texas grano and I planted an Italian Tropea Rosa (red oval). They look like they should be ready to pull soon.

My first try with onions in my raised beds, I used onion sets from a local small seller and only one bolted. I didn’t use bone meal or Neptune’s Harvest which I do have on my shelves. It was just a test and I got a great crop! This year, I’m going to try some in my new greenhouse. Cover isn’t on yet, so I will plant early before the cover goes on. Same with spinach which I planted in the fall on the raised beds outside hoping for a late crop but didn’t get anything until spring but Oh, what a crop it was!

[@russelstokes8622]

Have you done this before and can say the onions grebigger?

[@robyndudley9684]

Summer days in the south are longer than 14 hours but it’s blazing hot. That’s why they grow short day onions that bulb up over winter into early spring. There’s a mis conception that day length in the south never reaches 14 hours.

[@chrisandlisas]

I've never had luck growing onions either but I'm determined to make it work this year. I did a lot of research over the winter and I think I know why you have no luck with sets Brian. Apparently onions are biennial. My understanding is that the first year from seed is when the majority of the bulb is formed with the second year focused on flowering and seeding. So, if you plant a set you're planting an onion that was interrupted in year one and is going to focus most of its energy on seed creation after it's planted (because to the onion it's now year two). You'll still get some bulbing, but not to the extent that you would during the first year. This year I tried seedlings and so far they look great. Please let me know if I'm misinformed but I thought I'd throw it out there.

[@bobbun9630]

Your information about sets is generally correct, but it's probably worth mentioning that there are true perennial onions (of the same species as biennial onions--Allium cepa). Potato onions and shallots are the most familiar examples. I have been doing a bit of "gardener research" in my own garden, and at this point I suspect that most onions can be coaxed into a perennial life cycle, though it may not be worth it. I have some onions in the garden now that are starting their third year of growth after flowering last year. There was no significant gain in number of bulbs, though, so for these particular onions the effort doesn't really seem worth the trouble.

I used to have the same problem planting onions with sets and not planting at the right time. Now I start my onions by seed in my garage late October to November. By January their more than big enough transplant into the soil. I make sure I never walk on the prepared soil and keep off it the whole growing season. I generally Fertilize once with steer manure at planting time. I will throw in some pelletier fertilizer once they re a foot or so tall. The key is even watering, lots of sun, don't let them go dry. Now I grow giant onions.

[@davidl.williams7366]

Once in a while I do something right in gardening, even if it's by accident. I planted yellow sets, 6 in a pot, and a bunch in a square yard of ground. Both are doing far more than I expected, some almost ready to harvest. One from the pot is a measured 6"+ across, the rest are just over 4 " diameter. The ones in the ground are not quite as far along, but are a healthy lot, all around 4" diameter. All got a dose of Neptune fertilizer start and straw mulch. With such thick overgrown stems, I wonder if they will cure properly? So I pretty much did this batch just as you advise in this video, Brian.

My mom and Mammaw were both avid gardeners. When summer came and the onions went to “bolt” or bloom we knew to pinch off that bud and then the onion kept growing. Knowing now what you have said compared to their practice I don’t know how much it helped with gaining size. Maybe I’ll have a chance to test it this year.

[@bobbun9630]

Funny, I have had the opposite problem... I have tried a couple of times to grow perennial bunching onions from seed. Unfortunately, seed suppliers aren't great about identifying the species they're selling and they just assume you're going to pull them all anyway, so generally not enough information to know for sure. I think I have the issue solved at this point, but my previous attempts resulted in some nice bulbs that were delicious, but not really what I was looking for. Sets are technically second year onions, so it should be no surprise that they're much more prone to bolting early as that's what a biennial bulb-forming onion normally does in its second year.
