This is a very helpful video, not just for overwinter tips but also for the great info on storage of onions. You provided better details than I have found elsewhere. Territorial is one of my go-to seed sources. Thanks for the email pointing me to this video. I have now subscribed and hope to see more like this in the future.
They were planted about 1-2 inches deep, and we didn't mulch them. Depending upon where you are and how cold it gets in the winter will dictate whether mulch is needed or if you should plant them under the protection of a cold frame or low tunnel. What zone are you located in?
The presenter makes the claim that trimming the leaves helps them produce better root systems. Might be really cool to see some academic sources to validate that assertion, maybe?? I haven't been able to find any... I'll keep looking.
I Googled "Does trimming the leaves of onions make the bulb bigger", and got TONS of info. My takeaway is that it's all in the timing. It works, as advertised in this video, with seedlings at planting time. It does NOT work with older established onions. It's also, as shown in the video, important to cut back a bit of the leaves....not the whole thing. It's seems like an easy enough thing to do at transplanting time...I'm going to give it a try. It helps that I have always found information from Territorial Seeds to be reliable. ❤❤❤

Love watching videos about gardening. I learned a lot from Territorial 😊
Excellent video! Glad to see that Territorial has a RUclips channel.
Im zone 5 and I over winter onions in my unheated greenhouse. Informative vodeo. Thx
I am Zone 5 and just got a greenhouse. Would like to try overwintering onions. When should I start them for our Zone?
@@shandastitchinginidaho I have to wait until my peppers and tomatoes are done, around mid sept
I do this every year. I am surprised that other gardeners aren't doing the same.
Thank you! This is so useful. I’ve left some onions in the ground for winter, just to experiment and see what happens ☺️
Beautiful onions, great information, thank-you 😊
Thanks for the informative video! You mention 5 seeds in each cell but at planting and harvesting, I only see 1 plant per hole. What Iam I missing? :)
Wow that info was really helpful. Laid out really well. Thank you!
Thank you, good video with excellent, clear information.
Those onions look very well fed, can you describe how you prepared your bed? how often did you fertilize and with that? thank you!
Very informative. Thanks!
Very good information. Thank you.
Thanks!! Will give this a try. 😎
How deep do you plant them in the field in Oct? How deeply should they be mulched in order to overwinter?
They were planted about 1-2 inches deep, and we didn't mulch them. Depending upon where you are and how cold it gets in the winter will dictate whether mulch is needed or if you should plant them under the protection of a cold frame or low tunnel. What zone are you located in?
Awesome! You think this could be done with direct sowing instead of transplanting?
It is possible, but it's our experience that you'll have better success with overwintering onions if you start them indoors & transplant out.
Can Patterson onions be overwintered?
It’s been a year and my onions haven’t turn brown or fell over is that a good thing
What is the variety of onion seeds you recommended
What is the variety that you recommend?
follow the link in the video description for our recommended varieties!
Will this work in mid Michigan?
It depends on your zone - you could probably overwinter down to zone 6 with protection.
