    For the garlic scapes. If you have too many and don't know what to do with them. You can place them in water till they flower. Once they go to seed you can plant the seeds right away and in a few weeks you can harvest them as garlic chives

At which my ancestor will nod knowingly - perfectly understanding that this is why humans invented the moving picture machine.

    1. If i planted onions in early march, why aren't mine bulbing yet? Lots of green onions to cut, but no bulb. Do you have a video for this?
    2. His do you make them last for months instead of jusr a couple weeks. I store in a basket and feel i lose store bought ones quickly.
    3. Do you have build plans for the cure table?! I love it!!!
    ...nay gave forgotten one. That's all for now...
    Unrelated, do you know how to make onion or garluc powder?

    What do you do if it's going to rain before the onions are done curing? I'm curing my onions now (for the first time) and it's been raining almost every day so I've had them in the house but taking them outside on sunny days. Will this work? I'm in N. MS, zone 8.

  • @bublhed
    @bublhed 6 месяцев назад

    So this is the first year - in my many failed attempts to grow onions - that my sprouts look somewhat promising. I think they still have about another month of growing, (previously zone 5b, now 6a). All the videos show perfectly formed onion bulbs above the soil. Did you need to spoon them or did they grow that way? Mine are all still green and not showing any signs of bulbs.

      @misstweetypie1 6 месяцев назад

      If you haven’t yet, check your onion sun hours. It’s how much sun they need per day to bulb. I didn’t realize it was necessary, and I definitely put them in the wrong spot, lol.

    I was somewhere around a month late transplanting my onions into the ground, do I have much a hope in getting a decent harvest? Or what could I do to help them out? Luckily I planted a lot of them, and some seem to be growing really quickly, but others have barely grown in the couple weeks since I put them in the ground and don’t look like much more than blades of grass

    • @jacquesinthegarden
      @jacquesinthegarden  6 месяцев назад

      It is hard to say for sure but we have seen them grow year round with any issue. You can fertilize if the bulbs are small but once they really start forming it is best to cut fertilizer.
