[@sandytran158]

I’m a gardening newbie and have had made many, many fails with numerous plants 😖😭 but I’m determined to get this gardening thing right 👩🏻‍🌾 I’m starting again with scallions and I know your videos will definitely help!! Excited to cook with my own produce 🤩

[@Greentgarden]

Welcome to the garden world sandy!!! You got this !! Adding some coffee Grounds and water to your scallion plants, will help a lot .. thanks for watching ,more videos coming up!

[@marieb9926]

Scallions are delicious. I regrow my supermarket bought scallions all the time. They grow exceptionally well and I can't think of a reason why I don't have any in my patio garden.

[@Greentgarden]

I totally agree!

[@libbyworkman1666]

You told your daughter that was good when she said she saw a spider. I could not agree more. Spiders eat bugs. Both my daughter and I keep a clear plastic glass and a card handy and we both trap spiders and slide the card under and carry them outside to release, because spiders belong outside. But we never ever kill them.

[@Greentgarden]

Thank you , and that's great , my older son loves to play with the spider , and your right we do need spider and lots of bugs , we don't hurt them too.. thank you so much for watching , can't wait to start back gardening..( soon)

I’m doing this today hope they survive 😅. I’ll leave them in the balcony there’s some sun, how often should I water?

[@Greentgarden]

Nice they will .. Every 2-3 days ... Sprinkle some used coffee grounds after harvest... Or add some fertilizer after harvest..

[@misssamdaughter6983]

My scallions grow so tall & big! Thanks for sharing!

[@shanesimpson8213]

hi im from zone 13 and im regrowing a store bought a yellow and sweet onion I'm using the button to regrow it what are the possible chance of it flowering I want to grow to to get seeds

[@Greentgarden]

Well, once you cut off the scallion, the bottom part will grow more roots and it will still grow scallions. If you leave it in the hot temperature as a scallions grows, it will bolt eventually grown flowers giving you seeds

[@raptradventures4544]

Thank you

[@Greentgarden]

You're welcome 🙏🏾🌱

[@GlamObsession]

Can these grow in direct sunlight my garden doesn’t have much shade

[@Greentgarden]

It could , but if the weather is too hot sometimes it bolts into flowers , end cycle , It's best to grow it in the early spring or early fall if you don't have a shaded area... You can always grow them by the window too , using water or soil.

[@phoeberants]

my scallions are growing fast, but they keep falling over and creasing when they get past one section. Any advice?

[@Greentgarden]

So it could be the watering is off or I just need more fertilizer.. Add some fertilizer now and repeat every 3 weeks. Also, you could sprinkle use coffee ground lightly over it once a week. It will increase in nitrogen and give it a big boost.. Make sure to every 2-3 days .. A simple fertilizer amzn.to/3K5I5Ey (Amazon #ad

[@shelleyreid1946]

What seeds did you use ? Those re beautiful !! Mine are spindly and falling over 😒

[@Greentgarden]

Thank you , and sorry to hear, I got them on Amazon , I think it's "Seeds Of Change 8225 Evergreen Bunching Onion, Green" I made another updated scallions video, follow my steps and harvest every 2 weeks.. Greentgarden.. thank you for watching.. 💚

[@macks7150]

the problem is people talk about growing these and talk about water and soil but never mention the amount of light you need to grow especially in the winter the why yours turned out spindly

[@shemaladd-lifecoach5445]

He's cute! Lol

[@laurenmelignano4489]

What kind of soil do you use??

[@Greentgarden]

This was a potting mix . amzn.to/4gFlNsu (Amazon #ad

[@CaribbeanAdventures1]

Good afternoon. Thank you for sharing this informative video, My seedlings look like yours at about 1:24 into the video. They're falling over. Is something wrong with them? Am I over watering? I can't seem to grow anything, even the so-called "easy" ones. Thank you.

[@Greentgarden]

Could be Potassium deficiency can cause the plants to wither. Spread a 1-inch layer of kelp meal, greensand or granite meal throughout the bed.. ( If you see the soil getting green , it's too much water , water everyday 2-3 days .. you got this! More videos coming for !

[@buckyb7658]

Can you cut off some roots when you repot them without damaging them?

[@Greentgarden]

Yes can you , just not too much ...

[@zulmabontiffe487]

What about any pests that are attracted to them?? I just noticed some black substance on some of the stems of my plant. ???????? The container is on my porch with tree other scallion plants. I have planted before and I don't know what it is. I wiped some of this black matter and it's damp and doesn't move, so what should I do. I have purchased some scallions at the grocery store put them in water until they root and then pot them. I get all the scallions I want this way. Thanks for the info.

[@Greentgarden]

Mix soap and water , spry on scallion plants .. that should help .. thank you so much for watching..

[@AfroMan187]

Are there any types of fertilizer you can or cant use when growing things for human consumption? I ask because Mulch is usually covered in some kind of ferilizer, and I heard you cant just toss anything on it or it will end up in the food

[@Greentgarden]

I try to use organic soil and fertilizer , I started home compost , it's the best , should have the video up tomorrow on how to start home compost for the garden..

[@ChiquitaSalseraOne]

His beginners composting video has a lot of great tips and information. I’m just starting and excited to see the results of my efforts. Turning stuff that I would usually throw out into a great substance to nourish my plants. Lots of ways to use compost.

[@libbyworkman1666]

@Green T Garden. You grow things and you cook things also? Your mama taught you well.

[@Greentgarden]

Thank you so much Libby , as much I love growing things , cooking is one of my favorite things to do ..

[@flossyline3]

Hi, nice video. Which month do you start planting it?

[@Greentgarden]

Thank you , I planted these In the spring (March - April 2yeara ago) and they just comes back every spring time like now..

[@Terry21badgirl]

Hi I'm marie from Jamaica how do you grow onion I try but can't get it right

[@Greentgarden]

Bury onion sets 2 to 6 inches apart, gently pressing them 1 to 2 inches deep into loose soil. Space them 4 to 5 inches apart. Don't plan them in a full sun area. Plant them in a shaded area.. Big up Jamaica ! "Big fan of Stone Love "

[@DRESSMAKERGRACIE]

My scallions are thin I plant them from bought ones....how do I get thick ones?

[@Greentgarden]

So sorry just saw this question, I normally get the seeds on Amazon , they have oringic thin or thick ones , it all depends which one you have..

[@zulmabontiffe487]

The thin ones are called chives. The thick ones are summer onions and if you just buy a bunch at your store, put them in a glass jar with water just up to the ball( the part that has roots) and watch it grow almost over night. I have been doing this for a few years now and I always have chives or scallions all year long. Chives are not easy to grow, but what I did was to go to HOME DEPOT and purchased chives in those small containers they come in and just put them in fresh soil and left them to grow like crazy. Chives are a perennial that grow back year after year. Just leave them in their pots until next spring. They also produce beautiful flowers in white or purple. Just cut off some off at the top and they are soo good in scramble eggs or in anything. I prefer the chives over the thick scallions, but I use and have both.

[@abigailbrettxneider2514]

@@zulmabontiffe487 somone in my parents neighborhood planted chives outside and now the chives have invaded every yard in 5 miles

[@WuhTF]

Why use soil lol? I used just water and they grow fast, green and clean. Just be sure to measure the PH and replacing the water.

[@Greentgarden]

That's awesome , I saw lots of people doing it that way, never try it before, thank you for sharing that , definitely try the water..

[@metallatem3100]

I accidentally started my little scallion patch with my aloe. They were dying in the refrigerator so I stuck the bulbs in my aloe geranium and they came back to life

[@Greentgarden]

Nice and yes they will come back every year.. happy weekend gardening 🌱

[@billyblackie9417]

When do you sew these scallions

[@Greentgarden]

Early spring, you could even start 2-3 weeks indoors ..

[@persadsanjay]

You’re from the Caribbean?

[@Greentgarden]

100% yes .. Guyana.Thank you for watching!

[@cieratripp]

do I need to trim them as they grow from seed to make them get bigger?

[@Greentgarden]

Yep , when they reach about 6 inches you could start cutting them , then add some coffee Grounds , that will give them a big boost .. cut and regrow..

[@cieratripp]

@@Greentgarden perfect I thought I was screaming up for a second. Thank you 😊

[@Greentgarden]

Your welcome .. I trimmed them a lot , after you harvest , always a bit of coffee Grounds and some water , you're good to go !

[@emeliafeliz91]

What soil can I use?

[@Greentgarden]

Any organic garden soil , just add some coffee grounds 1-2 times a month ..

[@THTKIDTONY]

How do u know when they are "ready" to cut???

[@Greentgarden]

When they reach about 7-9 inches long .. just cut and they will just regrow . 💚

[@calmaseva664]

Can u get scallion from onion?

[@libbyworkman1666]

@calm aseva. Scallions are what green onions that do not have a bulb at the bottom are called. They grow more like grass, straight up. They are a form of onion, but they do not have bulbs at the bottom. Look at the picture on the seed envelope and you can see the difference.

[@debbieandsheldongoldberg1263]

Scallion with bulbs

[@ibra_android1651]

Hello, what is the way to enlarge the onion head to the maximum

[@Greentgarden]

Feed your onions lots of nitrogen to increase bulb size. Because they are a root vegetable, nitrogen is your key nutrient.

[@ibra_android1651]

@@Greentgarden Which fertilizer do I use and where do I find nitrogen? I love natural fertilizers, and do you have any idea to help me with it please

[@Greentgarden]

Addin Coffee Grounds is a natural way , also Spread Grass Clippings As Mulch. Or if you make home compost add that inside the soil too ..

[@ibra_android1651]

@@Greentgarden I put chicken droppings in the water to decompose and then I water the vegetables with it. Is that okay?
