We tried something this past year with our green onions that an old timer told me to do. Between our tomato plants we planted a set of onions. And let me tell ya we didn’t have near the issue with bugs that we normally do. It may have been a one time thing but I’ll definitely be doing it again this coming spring.
I separated my shallots and have doubled the amount of plants already (I didn't buy them that long ago!). We ate our first one in with some squash from the garden last night and are happy with the taste. Since there is only the two of us, we were wasting the large onions we bought at the store because we just didn't get them eaten before they went bad. These shallots are just the right size and they multiply so fast that I don't see us ever needing to buy onions again.
The best channel out there for grow vegetables thank you for all the information. Grew them giant butternut squash seeds I bought from you up here in Minnesota the biggest was 38 pounds haven’t tried eating one yet though.
TRAV!!!!! The carrot tops you give to your chickens can be rinsed then dried and used as a culinary herb!!!! ❤ Share some with the girls but dry some to enjoy with your meals! Another great video! 😊
For carrots, plant the Imperator variety. These are the kind that are in grocery stores and produce a very long, medium-width carrot that usually grows very straight as well. I would say twice as much overall carrot volume as other varieties and they just come out looking really nice as well. I think thinning is very important when they are at a size when you can tell the difference between carrot and weeds. This year, my onions grew to 3 times bigger than ever before and the only thing I did different this year was to just keep every weed out of the patch. Seemed to make all the difference.
Might be time to thin the multiplying onions with some harvesting. 😀 Just ordered my onion and carrot seeds today. (zone 5) Will start the onion seeds between Christmas and New Years.
I have some Louisiana Evergreen growing that I planted in September. They took off and then slowed down with the recent subfreezing temps. Now, they're taking off again. As far as what to do with all those rapidly multiplying onions, good luck. LOL I think we'll see a lot less flowers next Summer and a lot more onions.
Time for us to fertilize our carrots. Hoping that we do not get to hard of a frost before they are ready to harvest. As always Thank You for another fun and informative video!
I have so many walking onions that I've decided to reduce them. I found a recipe to pickle the babies on the top of the plant and will try doing that next year.
I don't know that we'll see a ton of difference in taste. Maybe some will have more "bite" than others, but we'll be sure to share that info when we can make some conclusions.
Good luck on the thickly planted carrots in a container. I have found that too many in a container will shade each other out and results in a small harvest. Planting in rows is different as the space between rows allows more sunlight. I am looking forward to your results.
Wow Travis you're certainly the onion guru. My evergreen shallots, my brown bunching shallots and my Egyptian walking onions don't look anything like yours. I'm using the Argo thrive and have some good raised bed soil, so what am I doing wrong? I cut mine and separated them just as you showed and mine is taking forever to bounce back, they have just started putting on new leaves a few days ago. They sat there like a stump for what seemed like a month. I'm happy to see they are showing some new life but they should look like yours if you are only feeding Argo thrive.
I can't think of anything I'm doing different. We are running the drip for several hours every other day. They can drink up the water like you won't believe.
I grow a lot of carrots. This fall I have planted out five 50ftx3ft beds of multiple varieties of carrots. For fertilizer I use a 4-12-4 mix from Miracle Grow called Quick Start. It is formulated for transplants to target root growth, and since I am growing carrots that is what I want. I've used multiple types of of fertilizers such as bone meal, feather meal, 10-10-10, etc. The best results come from the Quick Start solution. I recommend not using any type of fertilizer when you prepare the beds, aside from some compost, of which I only use Black Kow. I don't trust smaller distributers to have product that isn't tainted.
One of the biggest carrot growers in the country (Grimmway Farms) not too far from us uses a 10-2-8 formulation on theirs. Nature Safe makes it for them in a liquid formulation.
@@LazyDogFarm That is wild. 10-2-8 seems like too much nitrogen and too little phosphorous? I'm baffled. I simply don't believe they use a 10-2-8. 5-15-15 or 0-10-10 are commercial standards for carrots, last I checked.
@@AnenLaylle7023 It's true. Supposedly phosphorous is not an issue where they grow them. They grow them organically with the 10-2-8. I was given some in a granular form a couple years ago and it worked very well, but hard to find it.
@@ouch65 They're filled mostly with some 13+ yr old composted wood chips that we found from a local sawmill. Then topped with bagged potting soil and mushroom compost.
I have a question for you Travis, I'm running out of space in my garden, can I plant my bulbing onions in between the kale or broccoli plants? I hear onions are good for repelling pests. This is the first time I've used agro thrive. So far I really like it, especially because it doesn't smell like fish emulsion. I got both types. Thanks.
I planted some Savannah mustard greens in my garden container as well. But I planted mine thicker than you did. They’re not as tall as yours yet but I wonder if I need to thin them out?
Travis, off topic for today. How did you tie you metal rod onto the Tpost. I originally had pvc, whick warped in the sun. Your trellis looks so tidy and secure? Ps i bought a dog bucket and it does make my plants happy.
Those perennial onions can be tough to find, but that's the way to go. We should have more of the LA Evergreen Shallot bulbs on our site late next summer.
You mentioned separating some of the vigorous growing Evergreen onions to in ground next year. As hearty as this variety seems do you think they would survive transplanting this late in the year should you need to?
Will carrots germinate if it gets in the upper eighties? I planted mine over three weeks ago and not one came up. If eighties is too hot, will they germinate later when it cools off (hopefully) or are those seeds dead now? I’ve kept them watered and they have not ever dried out.
I would think they would, but I guess it depends on what your nighttime temps are. We've been getting in the 80s during the day, but 50s at night. So I'm assuming our soil temps are still in the 70s.
@@LazyDogFarm in the upper sixties. I’m in zone 10a southwest Florida. I just bought more seeds in case they don’t germinate, but I hope they do. I’m still watering them every day. I took off the cardboard thinking maybe they needed sun.
