I just want to say THANK YOU for such a great video! I get frustrated with some gardening videos because people don't take the time to film the whole process, they just film the beginning and talk about the rest. This is literally one of the best informative gardening videos I've watched.

[@JoeandZachSurvival]

Thank you Lindsay for this great comment. I am right now during this growing season filming "The life cycle of a potato" I hope it helps people as much as this video has. Thanks again. Joe

[@lb3724]

JoeandZachSurvival OMG NICE!!! I am hoping to do purple potatoes (although I think its too late in the season to start them now). It would be useful if you included in your video how much time between planting and harvesting. I dont think it was clear from the video how long they were in the ground for. Here's to hoping my onions survived my recent squirrel attack and I have SOMETHING to harvest at the end of the season! lol

[@RoselinWhite]

I agree with her comment completely! Good job and keep going! Waiting to see more ... SUBSCRIBED! ;-)

[@xx00sam00xx14]

I agree! Thanks a bunch!!!

[@zakariyachotia9270]

Hi, when do I stop watering them? Do I stop watering them for the two weeks before I pull them out?

[@ricpar61711]

This is my first year that I'm planting onions, your video gave me all the information I needed to plant and harvest them. Thanks!

[@272attwell]

I dry my onions by hanging them on a length of chain link fencing nailed up in my fire wood shed. I just thread their leaves through each hole in the fence and fold them back. I can dry around 300 onions doing this and they all get a good flow of air around them.

[@agwrangler]

I do the same!

[@rcolinares68]

What's with the thumbs down folks? This video is very informative and helpful. Thanks so much for making and sharing it.

[@Nelson4207]

Robert Colinares I think some ppl just can't stand to watch anything longer than a 2 - 3 min video without thinking someone is dragginggg onnn... personally I enjoyed it, but I think that is why he has so many thumbs down on this one. 😉

[@Vector_Ze]

Robert Colinares: At the moment, there are over 4100 views for each down vote. That's a VERY low percentage compared to lots of other videos at 0.024%. In fact, it is so low that it's a safe assumption that a good chunk of them were accidental. In a city of a half million people (# of views) how many accidently drive their cars into the curb in 4.5 years (duration to date)? I assure you, it happens more than 117 times (number of down-votes to date).

[@sporto100]

Lol. All I can think is they don't like onions?!

[@DS-kn4bs]

Robert Colinares hater I suppose.

[@cukka99]

Perhaps someone came here looking for advice on growing onions from seed as well as from sets and was disappointed.

[@vonsquirrel8378]

I have watched TONS of videos on onions and I got to say your video is by far THE BEST !! I have renewed faith now in planting onions. Thanks so much.

[@JoeandZachSurvival]

Thank you Von.

[@pearlyq3560]

Great presentation, you are clear, concise and get to the point -- good teacher. Thanks very much, I had no idea what to do with the onions I planted and this video has it all in one. Very useful, thank you for taking the time.

[@JoeandZachSurvival]

Thank you for the nice comment. I was hoping it would help people and am glad it is.

[@hollynelson543]

Thank you

[@calbinoIa]

Thanks. I have gardened for years and do all this as needed, but you really helped me just put it in a clear step by step order and organized it for me and others! Cal

[@fredpetrovich8803]

Thanks so much! Planted onions for the first time this year and had no idea when they were ready to harvest and knew nothing about storage. This video was a great help!

[@sevesheldon]

Please more of these videos! They’re extremely helpful!

[@artravision]

[@debpratt52]

Thank you! This is my first year growing onions instead of scallions, and this is the best video I've come across.

[@lolalandmark6133]

You answered every question I had about growing onions. Thanks!

[@VoiceBio]

Thoroughly enjoyed the video. Not too long, all the information I wanted & needed, right to the point. Thank you!

[@thomaslangley967]

Great video! Thanks for the info!

[@ModernPioneers]

Thanks for this video - I'll keep watching my onions through each process.

[@elsitabebe]

Thank you SO MUCH. I've planted many store bought onions that began to sprout and have gotten them to grow large stalks, but haven't had much luck in getting them to go to bulbs. Last year was the first time I harvested some small red onions and will replant the ones that resprouted. My other onions have given to flower, to seed and new shoots but I've watched many videos saying that from seed it takes up to 2 years to actually get a bulb, so I just leave them in the grow, use the green tops as needed, but I sure would love to have some bulbs. I have mine in smart lots and don't see the bulb above ground, only when I dig about half inch I see the bulbs, so maybe I just need to keep at it and hopefully once these stalks fall over l'll get a harvest. I'm going to cry with joy because it's been a long journey with mine.

[@crismusgrove5604]

Thank you so much !!! I can now teach my kids how to grow and store Onions. Have a Blessed day...

Thank you for this video. This is my first time trying Onions. I really needed these harvest tips. Glad I found your channel.

[@CodyCole80]

When did you plant your sets?

[@escapefromny2012]

Great information, thanks!

[@technonurseedu]

Thank you so much for this free and valuable onion planting lesson.

[@colenehenley9454]

Boil the tops for just a little while and then let it sit overnight and the water will turn dark and it's the best fertilizer

[@suemeeks1229]

Beautiful stash of onions for the winter! Thank you for the video!

[@PsychoPlantLady]

Thank you so much. This is my 1st year growing onions.

[@THERUSTEDGARDEN]

Thats was really helpful. Nice to have so much in one video.

[@TomWannamaker]

Wow. Great instructional video, learned how to improve growing my onions. Thanks!

[@TiwanaBentleyTheHomeCookWorks]

Thank you cuz I was never really sure when they were ready. Good video.

[@JoeandZachSurvival]

Thank you, The onions turned out great and I am still eating them. Another month and a half and I get to plant more of them for this year. Glad I could be of some help. Joe

[@dfwquiltr37]

Thank You for this video. I had planted onions one year and really did not have a clue on when to tell they were ready to be picked. And would not have known to dry them out. Just happened by luck I did pick some and now I see it was at the right time. Once I picked them I really did not need them for a while so guess by luck I did it right. But now that I really know the steps to take I will be doing it the right way next time. BTW really like your Garage set up that you used to store the onions on and the way you did your walls. You mentioned a dehydrator what one do you use. Been really thinking of getting one.

[@JoeandZachSurvival]

Tom Wannamaker Here in Minnesota it is almost time to plant my onions again for this year. I hope you all have good luck growing yours. Onions are a coool weather plant so get them in early. The dehydrator I have Deana is an Excalibur but any dehydrator will work including the hot summer sun. Make sure whatever you use you put it outside when doing onions because everyone in the house will be "crying " if you dont lol. Thank you. Joe

[@teargardens]

I love you guys! Thank you for your continued contribution to humanity & nature lovers everywhere. God bless you & yours abundantly!

[@LMGM5]

Hi, thank you for a very informative video. Right now I'm drying my garlic and onions. I was not sure about the drying time. I had them in the patio on full sun. Now I know better, thanks. Blessings Laura M

[@brendamashaw1760]

[@janabandana4240]

I love looking at your onion harvest. Thank you.

[@joeyplunk3009]

Great helped me alot my first year growing enough to harvest and my soil was rich and they are doing great like yours in the video. We didnt know the tops were supposed to fall, we thought animals were pushing them over. That knowledge alone is so helpful. Thank you for sharing!

[@JoeandZachSurvival]

I am very glad the video helped. Thank you.

[@TheBurninator50]

Great video. This is my first year doing onions in my garden here in Missouri, and this was incredibly helpful. Thank you!

[@MrWookie21]

[@yvonnebrownie163]

Thank you, I found the video very helpful!

[@suzanneglover9487]

Thanks for the education. Just the extra info I needed

[@ladyb003]

I haven't planted an abundance of onions because I wasn't sure about how to pull, process and store them. You have explained and shown me how. Thank you for doing this video. It was the most informative I have seen on the subject. Now I can plant onions with confidence. Take care.

[@JoshandMandy]

Great video man. Thanks for taking the time to make this.

[@jonathansgarden9128]

[@johnmitchell6283]

They are BEAUTIFUL!!! OMG I just cannot wait until its time to plant this year 2019. We recently moved so I haven't been able to have a garden for the last 2 seasons. This year is gunna be AWSOME!!!

[@MiWilderness]

nice how to Joe. I'm one of those people that can't grow onions. But, I read a book on it this year and grew some from seed. The book said basically the same as you showed. I was going to push my onions over today. Thanks for sharing!

[@billvanegas]

Thank you so much for going through the whole process. It's my first time growing onions and I had no idea when to pull them, ect. Very helpful.

[@sugarshackseeds9053]

That was a really good video! Thanks for taking the time to put that together. Very helpful!

[@marcnoel147]

This was the first video that I find simple and very informative. Thank you it help me allot. I never grew onions before.

[@daynel12]

Wonderful onions! I planted onions for the first time this year and it was a big failure. I will try again next year. I read a book and it suggested to grow a variety that will grow better in my area (zone 4a). It said that Stuttgarter sets will also do better and it will serve well as a storage onion. Great video!

[@montyollie]

Thanks so much. This is my first year growing onions, very helpful

[@nickglass12]

Good walk through Joe. Thanks.

[@msbutterfly714]

Finally someone telling me when I can pull my onions out , thank you

[@JoeandZachSurvival]

I am glad I could help. Thank you fir commenting.

[@airmanseemann1732]

Living here in Minnesota like you do, its nice to see gardening videos about my area. It gets frustrating when you watch a video from someone from somewhere else in the country and try and do what they are doing and your garden turn to Crap! (which mine did last year, but it was my first year also). I also like how well you explain all the steps that go into each thing your trying to raise. Thanks for the info and I will be giving my garden another try this year. P.S. I just hit the subscribe button! Please keep up the videos, they are very informative.

I planted some onion sets like 4 years ago. They are not in the ground ,I put them in planters. They didn't do well at all. I'm not a farmer in no means. Now I have better idea so will attempt it again. You're awesome. Got to be more attentive this time.

Thank you for the helpful video. It's very useful for a first-time gardener!

[@myocdtv7935]

Thank you for your time and wisdom. I have previously tried to find information on growing and storage of onions without much luck. Your video is wonderfully simple and full of the exact details that I have been looking for . I have my bag of onion sets and am excited to try again this year to grow one of my favorite vegetables. I had previously been told that pantyhose are great for use in the storage of onions. (Put one in, tie a knot, put another one in, tie another knot, and so on, then just hang them on a hook from a rafter in the basement). What do you think of this idea?

[@davidlysohirka798]

Thx for the great video!
