Growing Onions Made Easy! Onions are hardy, low-maintenance plants that require very little for such a big burst of flavor. Unfortunately, they can give you trouble when I comes to getting actually bulbs at harvest time.
Well, until now. In this video, I'll show you the 3 ways to plant Onions, including an in-depth tutorial on how I've been planting my Onions no-till and no-dig for the last 10 years. Timing and variety is everything, and by the end you'll be an Onion Master, harvesting giant bulbs like its nothing! :-)
2021 is the Year of the Garden! We deserve it after the last little while, and growing our own food and self sufficiency is just the reward we need to get back on track!

@matrixdecoded4226 2 года назад

I am wanting to grow onions from seed. A number of people have commented that onions are biennial. Others don't mention it. This in itself is confusing. My impression is if they are biennial they take two seasons (years) to fully mature. Is this correct? What do you do after the first year? Do you harvest and store them through winter for replanting or leave them in the ground?

How do you store your homegrown onion sets?

@Ed19601 Год назад

As short day onions bulb at 10-12 hrs daylight, there is nothing stopping them from doing that at higher latitudes, they will do fine at 14-16 hrs as well. The 'problem' as i understand it is that say at 52 degrees latitude, we hit 10 hrs of daylight already mid februari, when it is still freezing even. As we typically sow onions in end-december/januri, the onion hasn't really had time yet to develop leaves, before it starts bulbing, leading to a small bulb. So I tried sowing short day onions (nameless red onion seeds from philippines) at 52 degrees latitude. Before the winter, so they had some more time to grow. That gave me quite decent bulbs

That was a fantastic amount of worthwhile info. Thanks for that!. Do you ever trim the tops on your onions so that the bulbs grow larger?

@TheRipeTomatoFarms 3 года назад

@loristrout4741 2 года назад

I cut and freeze tops as pieces get top heavy. I keep my onions in the ground for 2 years as I live in Tennessee. I have short raised beds. 6 inches or shorter. Last year's plants are giving me next year's seeds. I did 50 new plants from sets that will stay in the ground until next year's harvest and seeds. I probably will not do Broccoli next year as it has lots of leaves but the heads came up no larger than my thumb print and go right to seed. Not even enough for a mouthful. Cauliflower heads have a slightly bigger head but the Earwigs loved the Cheddar one and my white ones are turning purple. Cabbage hopefully are doing good but next year will use bug covers as they are after the outer leaves. Pak Choy got all ate up and then went to seed. First tomatoes got eaten by something as my husband did not pick them as I asked. I had a back operation and he is now in charge.

So your last frost date is around mid march? Lucky bastard

@TheRipeTomatoFarms 3 года назад

Usually....its very very mild here....so we have an elongated summer into fall...and then the same elongated spring. So sometimes after January, we won't get another frost. Other times, we've had snow in April. But generally....mid to late March is safe! :-)

I'm wondering which onion is for Australia? Amazing and informative videos. Thankyou

Watched a time laps video. Where you could watch the roots The roots grew down to a good 9 inches. Your soil may for some reason maybe compacted. I live right at the transition from Short to medium day. Any tips for my situation. In my area. Dixondale. Usually their onions are about 50/50 some larger some small. Have heard other You tuber talking about how small they are this season. They are the size of a small drinking straw.

I live in Chicago area. When should I start my onion seeds indoors? When should I plant the plants outside? My last killing frost is May 15. Thank you!

@He4vyD 3 года назад

Hi Jeff, love the vids! But can you please include the metric values for temp and size? Your European viewers will be grateful!

@TheRipeTomatoFarms 3 года назад

For sure..I always try for the temps....did I miss one? For size I definitely need to include them more....I normally work in metric anyways! LOL

Just a question: The only mulch I have available is grass clippings. Do I need the clippings to dry out before putting them on top of soil? Thanks! 💚

@TheRipeTomatoFarms Год назад

Not at all. I use green grass as a mulch all the time!

Hi! This is really helpful. I just started to plant onion and I’d like to ask how often do you water the onions?

@wendyburston3132 3 года назад

Do you have to trim them if they fall over,?

@TheRipeTomatoFarms 3 года назад

Probably not HAVE to...but its nice so that the leaves don't rot, get disease, cause the bulbs to grow sideways, etc etc. If they aren't flopping over leave them be....if they are, trim! :-)

Super helpful video. I planted my first onion and garlic sets last fall (zone 8 Oregon) and kept under a row cover. Everything is looking fantastic. Long green leaves 2+ feet. Flower stalks on a few but not many. I pulled a couple to check and they just look like leeks. No bulbs forming (yet). Will the bulbs form? Do I need to wait longer or will the plants just bolt?

@TheRipeTomatoFarms 2 года назад

Cheers Kris! The onions definitely shouldn't be flowering. They are biennial and flower in their 2nd year of growth, which is WELL after we'd harvest the bulbs. Garlic does flower, its called the scape. They are TASTY! But they do need to be removed because they are a drain on the plant.
