Onion Playlist kzbin.info/www/bejne/opW7foeebc2YrdE

[@kele1264]

I love it! An entire playlist devoted to one type of food. So easy to learn and research this way! Thank you! 🧅

[@nerissamartinez3669]

You get a huge harvest bc God is blessing your kindness to share with other. Beautiful thing

[@speaklifegardenhomesteadpe8783]

Got a link to the onion supplier? Those are GORGEOUS!!! ❣️🌱🧅🌱❣️ GOD BLESS YOU GUYS!!!!

[@speaklifegardenhomesteadpe8783]

Your set up is so beautiful and perfect!! I love you guys!!

[@alissaswofford4554]

💞You have the BEST videos for gardening that I've ever seen!!! Thank you for sharing your knowledge & helping the rest of us learn!!!

[@happilyretiredmark2964]

Very refreshing to hear a homestead channel promote helping the needy, family and friends by giving them vegetables rather than selling them. One of my favorite channels!

[@walt]

I love that you both take the time to create the video from start to finish, even if it means waiting for multiple seasons. This video was over a year in the making, but you show what no other channel can show in a short timespan. God Bless

[@mojo6385]

i was going to say the same time. so many people start a series and leave it before getting to the important finish. TY!

[@mollycatcolorado9252]

This is this first channel I look to when searching how to grow something. It is incredibly helpful to have the entire process, start to finish, in one location! No need to search for follow up videos. Always learn something new from Nancy and Hollis!

[@belenalee5986]

Absolutely! These other homesteading channels bounce and go off topic. I have a hard time paying attention and following the videos. I love this channel

[@QuiteQuietASMR]

I love that you are donating to the needy. When you said “Be a blessing” that was very inspiring! I’m sure those people appreciate you greatly.

[@katjoy9921]

It is so refreshing to hear you say that you donate to family, friends and to the community soup kitchen. Bless you for your kindness and generosity.

[@Just-Nikki]

I adore Nancy’s mom. She just seems like she has a precious heart ♥️ blessings and abundance to everyone.

[@wandaparker6183]

I truly RESPECT you and your wife. May God continue to bless y'all 🙏

[@Shelzbells]

You just absolutely have the most Incredible setup there at your homestead with those gardens. Oh my gosh, that must be a dream come true for you. All that hard , back breaking work that you did to get it to this point has to be so worth it.

[@gardeninjake]

I always grow more than we can eat which I do on purpose. My absolute favorite part of gardening is setting up a couple tables under my shade tree in the front yard and fill then with fresh produce for who ever wants it. I refuse to take any money for any of it. I built another 4' X 22' raised bed this year so I can give away more. God bless yall!

[@Metal915]

Nancy, Thank you so much for dating the days! This helps so much knowing what month you two plant and then the dates that you harvest. Helps me plan and know when to start planting to try your techniques! Have a blessed day! ~Kelly

[@Butter2000Fly]

I’m a first time gardener, I’m making mistakes already, not patient with the weather, and not paying attention to the rules of when to start seedlings. I’m trying to be patient. Lots of learning and already looking forward to planting again next year.

[@williamsporing1500]

What a great couple! Mama looks like a strong little lady!!! Keep up the great work with giving us instructions. I’m sure I’m not alone in saying that you’ve taught us a bunch. God bless both of you!

[@k.p.1139]

😆 Nancy, I am so thankful that I'm not the only one that gets up for the critters. I'm always getting fussed at for letting the cat take my spot. 😂

[@dinamilian8818]

Thank you Hollis & Nancy for all of the tips & tricks you have taught us (Mark & myself)! We have learned so much through your videos. :)

[@ladyryan902]

Just gotta love Nancy's mamma

[@CrownJewelDanes12]

Got mine from Dixondale this year and was blown away. Not only did they look fantastic and much better than the local starts but I couldn’t plant them right away and they held up for a month before they went in the ground and are doing awesome !!! Thanks for the recommendation ☺️

[@MissCatherine1100]

It was so nice to see Nancy's mom! Please introduce her to us next time.💖 Thank you for the scripture at the end. Do Not Be Afraid. ✝️👑🙏🕊

[@justbeachy4666]

Before I was diagnosed with Celiac disease, one of my favorite sandwiches was thin slices of Vidalia sweet onions on pumpernickel bread spread with sweet butter, and sprinkled with salt and pepper. Those are some gorgeous onions!

[@judyabernathy80]

Nancy, loved your choice of music! You rock, girl!! Those onions are fabulous. Of course, Hollis, you can build anything, so the shelves and little houses are so perfect for all your vegetables. Thank you both so much for the info! Nice to see your sweet little mother enjoying herself, Nancy!! ♥️🙏🏼♥️

[@marysisson7761]

Love that BingBing took Nancy’s seat when she got up to move basket. 😄

[@gardenlikeaviking]

I just found your channel and it was a video dated 2016 when you were in a little backyard making due with what you had... now this is the next video I watch and wow you have seriously upgraded your operation... the homestead is no longer just a dream!!!... so happy for you guys and I wish you continued success!!!

[@tinasimmons808]

I enjoy watching the 2 of you working together and the helpful information you share. My favorite part is the way you end your videos. Love that!

[@slewis5608]

Thank you so much for introducing us to Dixondale Farms. I ordered 2 bundles of the Texas Supersweets and received them promptly just in time for planting in my area, zone 8a. These were the freshest transplants I’ve ever seen! I separated them by sizes like on your video and it was a piece of cake to plant them. Due to the quality plants, I did not lose one transplant, not even a tiny one! They’re all growing nicely and feel this will be a successful harvest when they are ready! We are also planting sweet corn, watched the 3 part video, and can’t wait to watch the corn grow, praying for a good harvest. We love watching your videos and look forward to each new episode! We live on a lake in northwest Louisiana and love your fishing videos as well! We thank our Father for you both and pray for His continued blessings of love, health and happiness in your beautiful home. Thank you again. ~Blessings. Sammi L.

[@HadassahHaman]

Thank you for another excellent video!!!!❤

[@kindnessconnection6836]

You and Nancy are a blessing!

[@deanbarr5740]

Mr. Hollis, Miss Nancy those were really nice onions. My wife and I love onions. Whether in a salad, on a sandwich, in meatloaf, or fried taters and onions they just taste better. Here in West Virginia we can't grow onions as nice as yours. We even like em green, right outta the garden. Appreciate your generosity you and Nancy are very kind people.

[@roncarlson228]

Absolutely beautiful crop of onions.

[@DonnyLisa1]

Have a blessed Resurrection Day! I appreciate your videos, prayers, kind hearts and encouragement! May the Lord meet you in your garden!

[@michealinak]

I cannot do these without you knowledged of gardening.

[@auntiepam5649]

Bless you and Nancy for thinking of others. It is true by His hands we all are fed.

[@catracampolieto8989]

Huge onions!!! Thank you so much for showing us how to cure them.

[@rockyusa2012]

Onion results are fantastic 👏

[@mikehorton3664]

Hi Hollis and Nancy, Wonderful video! This Spring 2022, I purchased 12 bundles of Dixondale Onions. Planted them 3 weeks ago, they have went thru snow, wind, rain, even low 30 degree weather, nothing bothers them - Illinois Zone 5b weather is brutal sometimes. I had been searching for the Texas Sweet 1015 plants for a long time! Thank you for letting me know Dixondale had them. Really appreicate the Storing information, looking forward to keeping these all winter. God Bless!!!

[@homesteadlady3acrehomestead]

Nancy and her Mama are precious

[@sueievers8700]

Once dried we plait the dried stems and hang them up in a dry ventilated outdoor area. This takes up less space too. Garlic treated this way too. Still eating them from last autumn and in excellent condition.

[@amadahyrose]

I just asked about this. Good to know as I'm limited on space! :) Thanks.

[@zahirsalaamah5290]

What a kind hearted person .

[@kele1264]

5:43 Hi Nancy, Hi Nancy's Mom !!! So good to see you happy and healthy!

[@tiachandler5350]

You guys are just truly amazing humans nice caring loving people and that's hard to find these days I mean helping people out then donating so many of the things you guys grow yall are absolutely incredible people you truly are ....I adore you guys

[@davideaves4035]

We don't have a lot of space, and so far we're doing Bush Beans, Butternut Squash, and Snow Peas. We have a bit of space under a tree - onions might work there - thanks for the valuable tips.

[@joytoyouandme4593]

Perhaps check to see if there is any community garden space in your area. It’s often a good option.

[@jdp6ofus]

Onions do ok in containers as long as you fertilize them regularly and keep the soil moist. I grow them by our steps and driveway in large pots sometimes. Bonus by doing that is I can snip a few greens occasionally to use, also.

[@Lved6]

If you haven't seen them, check out Hollis' older videos from Virginia. He had a smaller urban homestead and still grew a ton.

[@nahnisjourney1406]

Everyone has provided you with some great tips. Have you thought about doing some vertical growing? You can double your harvest by doing vertical gardening in small spaces. Best wishes and happy gardening. 👩‍🌾

[@terry902]

I was able to go to a physical therapist who got me up and moving and gave me some stretches to do before I garden. Worth every penny. I’m not perfect but the good Lord helps me get through the day. All my plants are in pots and containers and I am able to grow enough for me, and to share with family, friends, neighbors and my exercise class. I planted some Dixondale onions on your recommendations this year and just ringed them. Hoping to get a good harvest and will see if I can make some last into next year! As I was ringing, I thought, “By His hands we are fed!” I may not have the set up you do, but I manage. However I do want to make a small processing table like you had at your last place. That is my goal this year. Love your video! God Bless you both and your families! 🙏💕

[@Elsa-it9ct]

I learned about everything I need to know about onions from you guys. You have definitely blessed me with your knowledge. Lots of joy watching you two harvest, process and store onions! 🧅

[@r.g8649]

That’s a huge nice looking onion🧅! I like onions 🧅 and garlic 🧄 in just about everything I cook & raw in my salads. 🥗 they are good for you too 👍🏽 😋. I’m trying to grow a garden 🪴 like many people this year onions 🧅 & garlic 🧄 are definitely on the growing list 😊

[@diannawilliams761]

Thankyou so much! You two bring joy to my heart. God bless. So great to see a couple work together in Gods love. You've taught me so much

[@speaklifegardenhomesteadpe8783]

Man those onions are beautiful!! ❣️🌱🧅🌱❣️

[@abeautifulnest]

My hands smell like onions just from watching this video! Love y’all so much! 🌱🧅

[@HollisNancysHomestead]

🧅✋🧅✋🧅✋😂😂😂

[@brownjoela]

Great to see Nancy's mom! ♥️

[@briantruth1463]

Soup kitchen story made my day. I wouldn’t sell my stuff I love to give it away as well. May let the kids sell something at the end of the driveway if they helped grow it.

[@wherami]

I started a lot of onions this year

[@nomathembazwedala7704]

Lucky you, you produce a lot of onions and they are big and beautiful too. I always not having lucky to grow onions I don't know what I do wrong, but I am not going to despair. Thanks guys.

[@mollycatcolorado9252]

Bless you for sharing your harvest with those in need! I’m sure they are so appreciative of the fresh produce.

[@malinadarling]

I’m new to your channel and just subscribed last week. I am learning so much! You are the sweetest couple. Thank you for sharing your knowledge. I am new to gardening and starting everything from seed right now. I’m praying for a bountiful harvest even though I’m a newbie. 🙏🏼😁💖

[@loriirons9503]

Amen prayers that your harvest will be plentiful! You can do all things in Christ who strengthens you!!

[@malinadarling]

@@loriirons9503 Thank you Lori! God bless you sister! 💕

[@Liwayputi]

Praise God for His abundance!!

[@HollisNancysHomestead]

❤️

[@boysrus61]

I love the smell of onions on my hands! When my kids were all young and at home I would make a roast every Sunday for after church. While sitting at church, I would smell my fingers and the delightful smell of the earlier cut onions. Weird I know, but onions smell like Sunday morning and family meals!

[@HollisNancysHomestead]

I definitely get it👍

[@marktoldgardengnome4110]

We use your methods and our onions store very nicely. This will be our third year growing from seed and it's saving us a lot of money. Start then indoors in small (5"w x 12"l x 5"d) plastic storage tubs we got at the dollar store, first of March. We use pelleted seed from Johnny's and much easier to plant and know how many. About 126 per container. Also only about $8 for 1000 seeds. Yeah, I'm a little OCD. We did use Dixondale for about 3 years before planting by seed and I have to say they are top notch folks, with generous discounts on bulk orders and a great selection of product. But we tried from seed one year, it worked, and no looking back. Another quick tip, plant your extras amongst your brassicas. Cabbage moths hate the smell of onions, and consider those your bunching onions. The ones you trim greens from. When cut the odor they give off intensifies. They won't grow a very large onion because of being shaded, but you'll have NO damage to your brassicas. 😊 TYFS Hollis, Nancy, and Mom PS, The OCD thing extends on to the planting templates you built. Thanks for that too my friend.

[@kele1264]

I'm so glad Nancy didn't let Bing Bing eat an onion, and that she knows they're toxic to dogs (and cats). Sweet cutie Bing Bing!

[@lucymarinmejia2205]

That’s the great Texan heart. Learning from you’ll. God bless you! 😊 thank you.

[@libbyleatherwood6940]

Beautiful onions!

[@DC-rd6oq]

I'm in the FL Panhandle. I grew the Short Day Sampler Pack from Dixondale (Texas Super Sweet, Texas Early White, and Red Creole). All did well, but the Super Sweet were the best by far.

[@w.bevans5454]

Always a pleasure to watch your videos Hollis!

[@rebeccaplumlee9601]

So happy I came across ur channel. I used to put my surplus onions in pantyhose, knot between & hang in pantry. I could cut out 1s that I would use or any getting soft. Was not as effective with potatoes & never had that many old hosiery. Blessings to u & urs

[@sweatfocusrepeatbelieve952]

Y'all are truly inspiring!!

[@TUKByV]

Living my dream! Even that part of the state. I always loved the pine and palmetto and reindeer moss. I may end up around Interlachen.

Thanks for the tips! I started gardening and following your channel because of the coming food shortages (and prices). A lot of my onions don't make it, but some do great. Got to keep on it... got about 50 started from seed.

[@tammynau1395]

I love your videos. They break everything down so nicely and in an inspiring way. Nancy, you won my heart today!! I will always share my seat with my dogs too! Of course mine are not as small but hey, we do what we do because we love them so much!! Anyways, wishing you both much love and success in your 2022 gardens! Can't wait to see more!
