Whelp, you've sold me. I would love to have an onion I can grow through summer (Houston Tx). I do not much care for green onions but I love to use the white parts in cooking these look like they could fill that need perfectly. I'll be growing full bulb onions too but those are more time sensitive (and I loved your video on that subject as well). Bless you for your good videos and your willingness to share knowledge.

@GrowingInTheGarden 11 месяцев назад

@southafricanrhino 11 месяцев назад

Wow I will buy some now! Thank you for the great video. I was wondering if you have noticed why some bulbs are larger than others (besides good soil and water) would planting bigger bulbs results in more big bulbs like garlic?

@GrowingInTheGarden 11 месяцев назад

I'm sure that is the case, yes. More energy = larger bulbs

@jill7972 11 месяцев назад

With multiplier potato onions, planting a big one results in numerous smaller ones, whereas planting a small one results in a larger bulb. I wonder if it might be the same with these.

If you’re in mesa you might be in a warm enough climate to grow myr or whatever. The three wisemen gave Jesus gold, and myr or however you spell it. I remember reading a guy in phoenix owns and imported all the species before the federal government and UN imposed tons of laws that prevent trade of seeds. So this guy has every endangered and non endangered species but I think cause it’s from Yemen and Africa that only a few parts of Arizona have a similar climate.
