[@celestejohnson9227]

I brought mine back from a great aunts garden in Virginia. She recently passed at the age of 96. I cherish these onions.

[@frederickwarrick1294]

i brought mine back from NY from my mom to here in Va - she passed away a few years ago at 92

Hi Robbie, I just ordered some walking onions from your link. I am in the Gulf Coast area of Texas so will be able to get them outside fairly soon. I am so excited to get them started. I began gardening using your tote and kitchen scrap composting method last year in my front yard. My purple and green tree collards are doing great. My fall lettuce is so good. I have learned so much from you and Gary. Thank you for all you do!

[@marilynleiby7530]

I received a clump of walking onions over 30 years ago from a coworker, plopped them in the ground and they've been prolific in my zone 5 Mich garden. I've given tons away to anyone who asks. I am able to pick either the initial green stalks in the spring or later the cute bulbets in summer and put them on everything from scrambled eggs,salads, soups, tacos and casserole topping. I also find they're a deer repellent so I plant them around hostas and flowers

[@JosefinaBridges-ic7dj]

I bought some after I learned about them from you. I didn't buy any more these past years, even sold a full pot for $10 in a yard sale years ago. They're all over my yard. Thank you, Robbie.

Your teaching us about walking onions was very interesting! I really enjoyed seeing how you make your cucumber salad. I use purple onions and I add a little sugar. I had never thought about adding onion blades, but I will this year. I have never added them to my potato salad either, but I will try it now. Your food looked so good! ❤😊😊❤

I just purchased my first ever walking onions from the link you provided...I'm zone 8b. Baby steps here....thank you robbie...I feel like your right down the road....Mississippi here

[@debbrown5648]

Thank you for this video! I will find a container to "start" mine in tomorrow. I was going to wait. Ooops! 😮

[@RobbieAndGaryGardeningEasy]

No, get a container and get them started now 😊❤️

[@jujubee7351]

Thank you so much for posting this video ! I have my walking onion bulbs from eBay you recommended on my counter ,after work I’m going to put them in a lil pot with soil to keep so they don’t dry out like you said. ❤Thank you , I could have lost 20 bulbs because I would have stored them in an envelope ;) Just to let you know it looks like they are spouting already

[@maggiecimba7390]

I had them for years, and I get them 2 times a year, and I'm in zone 5. I've near got flower that I noticed my onion have been in the ground for over 9 years. The greens are really strong tasting. I live your videos

[@RobbieAndGaryGardeningEasy]

Thanks 😊

[@patkrueger7353]

I have never grown them ir seen them in our area. Would like to try them

[@lindy5884]

I'm in 9b and rarely get frost. I have 1 tub of them (I got 3 bulbs just year, and got bulblets on all!)

[@alicianneboyle2443]

Hi Robbie. It's raining here in Western Pennsylvania a good amount of rain actually where we are suppose to get snow ❄️ What's difference between walking onions and salad onions or wild onions???

[@frederickwarrick1294]

my maternal grandparents were sharecroppers in upstate NY during the depression. My grandmother grew walking onions. When they left the farm our "aunt" took some of them to grow... 90 plus years later i am using the same strain here in Va. a hundred year old strain....... I vacuum freeze the onion bulb for winter stew as a pearl onion and replant the pods

[@RobbieAndGaryGardeningEasy]

This is a fascinating story, thank you for sharing all this❤️😊

[@earlscott2065]

We love onions..so thank you for all the helpful information!

Hello Robbie

Hello Debbie 😊

[@tiger1554]

I'm in zone 7B, Maryland. I got my walking onion bulbs in early March 2024 and started them in solo cups. I transplanted my walking onions into the ground around April and now in June they already have started to "walk" and plant themselves. At this rate my plants might walk twice once in the spring and once in the fall :) Ah I miss being in CA it's so easy to garden there minus the water issue.

[@RobbieAndGaryGardeningEasy]

It sounds like you are doing great with your walking onions, and I do agree it sounds like they will walk again in the fall. And Maryland , I’m sure is very nice, as California is just too expensive these days, and it has its own issues. 😊❤️

[@par4451]

Thank you for sharing, I'm going to get some soon.

[@RobbieAndGaryGardeningEasy]

You should! They are great 😊

Hello from Maine ..

Hello 😊❤️

[@dhaniaboodoo7042]

I planted my in November, now they are covered in snow. I’m zone 7b. Hoping for the best results. Thank you Robbi.

[@RobbieAndGaryGardeningEasy]

I will hope for you, as I know if they are established with a good root system they will be fine, as long as they don’t dry out.

[@dhaniaboodoo7042]

Hi Robbi, you were right, I planted my in the fall and they don’t survive the winter.

[@TruthAndLight4995]

New subscriber here. I’m enjoying your channel. I ❤ my walking onions. Thanks for letting me know the ground should be damp when the new bulbs bend over and touch down.

[@carrolljohnson9179]

I had that in my onions.. 😅 I didn't know what to do with them 😐 I, was just learning. 😂

[@JudyShrouds]

I just saw, that southern Cal just had an earthquake. Are you OK? I pray that it didn't come close to your area. Blessing to you, Gary and tiny fur baby.

[@RobbieAndGaryGardeningEasy]

Yes, I felt it, Gary did not feel it, Zoe felt it, but we are completely fine. Thank you so much ❤️💕

[@lyndasimpson4085]

Hi Robbie today is January 25th 2004 I went online to purchase some walking onions but their sold out. Thank you so much for the videos

[@RobbieAndGaryGardeningEasy]

I saw this morning she had a couple left, so I reposted the link, there are other people on eBay with them, they’re just a little more money

I was given these onions by an 85yr old woman 5 yrs ago. I am in zone 5b. Mine grow babies twice a yr. BUT I throw the babies in the ground actually now, in June, July, and then in fall October November. So actually IDK . I use the older plants to grow babies and I replant and share them. And I kinda use the babies for fresher tender onions. I pull up the old bulbs as onions leaving half still to keep making babies. My son started growing these 4yrs ago from me and hasnt bought onions or chives since. He digs them up, continues to cultivate and uses the bulbs greens, and all.

[@gibsongirl6816]

sry, one thing, NO they will not grow if dry.

[@sylviakust7999]

Do you put holes in the container? I feel stupid asking this question. Thank you.

[@ChrisJohnson-pd4hh]

What would happen if you did not put holes in the container? They could become waterlogged of course. The holes are for drainage. If the plant becomes waterlogged the roots are starved of oxygen and they will suffer, maybe die.

[@lyndasimpson4085]

Thank you ❤

[@RobbieAndGaryGardeningEasy]

No question is stupid. All my containers have holes, sometimes the holes are on the bottom, sometimes the holes are on the side, sometimes the holes are 2 inches up from the bottom. You have to put the holes in where it will work for your gardening Container❤️

Can u do a video on how to get Moringa to germinate ?

[@billk3230]

Hi Robbie, I live in central Florida zone 9B. My walking onions do not reproduce. I don't think it gets cold enough. I have had them for two years now and they do not get the baby onions on top. It's a bummer because my wife loves onions. I got the Texas multiplying onions and they multiply like crazy but my wife doesn't like them. Go figure.

[@WanderingWinds]

This is my first time growing walking onion, they didn’t seed out this year and are dying back, idk if I did something wrong. Am I supposed to spoon the bulbs like regular onions or keep them covered in the dirt?

[@inharmonywithearth9982]

I've got two kinds of reddish ones. Does anyone know the name of the big white ones shown here?

[@RobbieAndGaryGardeningEasy]

Mine here are called Walking Onions, they do not produce a flowers.

[@buddycarroll9641]

Can you please help me with this question? I just picked some bulblets from a friends garden. My question is, can I plant then while they're still green or do I have to let them dry, then plant?

[@Laura_B__]

What I am wondering is, if I cut the top bulbs and green stalks off, will it grow again? Or is it necessary to pull up the bulb(s) in the ground also when using the tops?

[@DandLwelcomehome]

Can you dig up a big walking onion and transfer it to another place?

[@RS-we7lx]

I did not get my onions in soil for a week. Did I ruin my baby bulbs?

[@RobbieAndGaryGardeningEasy]

No, a week is no big deal, if they’re not completely brown and gone, you should be fine

Absolutely loved this video, thank you for clarifying all of this! 🤩👏🧅today I will be purchasing my first walking onion bulb through your link, when I tried with the last video, they ran out, glad to know they are back in stock so I will try again today! I love the cooking vids, because it keeps me motivated! I get so excited when I grab ingredients from the garden, even if it’s only a bit, ( I don’t have much right now) feels good 😊 Thank you for everything I’m in 10a here on the central coast of California glad to know I’ll get 2 crops🙌💓🧅

[@RobbieAndGaryGardeningEasy]

If she runs out, there are others selling on eBay, should be listed under her ad, they are good too but a bit higher in price. Walking onions only produce so much, not like seeds. Sounds like you are doing great ❤️ Happy Gardening

[@RobbieAndGaryGardeningEasy]

Thanks 😊

[@mamabearthrives7815]

@@RobbieAndGaryGardeningEasy I bought a different one but then I looked in my cart and had the onions from your link in the cart and she had some back in stock for $10 free shipping, HECK I bought that one also! 😆💁‍♀️🧅 thanks again Robbie
