Are these green onions the same as chives in UK?
No,Chives are different
@@doreenbucheler2746
Thank you.
@@bernadettenightingale4495 No. These are larger and more tender.
I dry my green tops and process them through the coffee grinder. This makes onion powder, useful in everything. I do the same with celery tops. No waste at all and gives immune health when sprinkled in savoury dishes. You must remember that 1 tspn of dried or dehydrated powder is worth 4 bunching onion stems or 2 celery stems, very potent stuff.
I have celery that is "regrown" from the bottom of used celery. I wasn't sure what to do with the resulting plants. They tend to be tough because of the heat. This sounds like a great way to be sure to use the stems.
Oh the voice of cock crow makes me remember my childhood in countryside of Vietnam! They wake me up for school, walking a mile away. After school, I work on my family garden. Now I live in San Diego with little back yard as retiree after 45 years working in USA.Thank you for the tips and the noise of chicken. Thank you people of USA.
Thank you for your kind words.
I am from Michigan and I have winter onions from my great grandmother to grandmother to me. I know they are at least 150 years old. They come up in the fall and die off, com3 back in the spring and if it was a hard winter, they re the mildest things you ever ate!
Amazing! Thanks for sharing!
May i have some that can plant it in my garden , love family history that is what have ❤️.
@@anitasantos7198 send me your address and I will mail you some when they go to seed.
wow, that is so cool!
My mother-in-law had some of these. They were so big, that we thought they might be leeks.
A neighbor gave me some green onions to plant in my garden. I have a squirrel problem because another neighbor keeps feeding them walnuts and they come into my yard and dig up my lawn and garden burying the nuts. I marveled that they can smell where they planted the walnuts so I thought, boy they must have a REAL good sense of smell. I decided to take some of the onions that my neighbor gave me and chop them up and strew them through the yard. OMG! It was like all the squirrels left town! My yard is eerily void of squirrels. When they get their nuts from my neighbor, instead of walking along my fence, they go up the telephone pole and walk past my yard on the wires! They want nothing to do with my yard. Now I will be planting them for a free repellent also.
WOW!!! Thanks for sharing. Come to think of it, they don't go in the barrels that have onions....looks like you are on to something!
I hope this works for possums.
@@mclanaford2957 I doubt it. They are pretty strong. I have a video about how we take care of possums. We've relocated quite a few.
I would've dug up the walnuts and used them
@@trkstatrksta8410That's mean.
My parents moved a lot but my dad always brought his multiplying onions with him.
You can do this with the tips of the onions you get at the grocery store, just plant the last 3/4 inch of your green onions and just go out and chop off what you need as you go.
Yup yup….first I started them in water saw those roots planted them go to my balcony garden to get green onions for dinner
I've had good luck planting green onions from the grocery store. Works great for cut and come again "greens."
Yes!! You can also plant the bottom slice of an onion too. I did a long video that shows how to do that and a short video about regrowing veggies. Maybe you can check it out and grow onions like you do your green onions. Love your input.
@debbiesorganicgarden 🙂👍
This works if you havean organic romaine lettuce and also celery too. Just cut off the end and stick it root side down and try will grow if you keep them watered.
@@gloryb5513 I'm trying that! 🙂
@@debbiesorganicgarden D you have a link to the video? "long video that shows how to do"
I had a nursery and propagated
The reason you cut back the greens or the flower on any plant is to give the roots more nutrition instead of sending it up through the stock
The reason to cut back plants you are propagating is to reduce water loss through the leaves via transpiration. There is no “nutrition for roots without leaves to photosynthesize.
So, if you let the "green" onion seed, it will use up it's bulb and NOT come back up the following year?
What a huge garden she have. She dun need farmer market, its in her backyard. 🥰
Watching how you use your spade to cut the he roots of the weeds and unwanted plants.
No one ever taught me this and I have just learned a new skill. My husband keeps buying green onions and I keep forgetting to use them. If I planted some, I could have them more often as I’d plant them and remember I did that.
Thank you so much
It comes natural after so many years of gardening. I never even thought about it when I made the video so thank you so much for the kind words.
I took my store bought green onions, cut the tops and stuck the bulbs in my Aero Garden. They have been growing for months. You don't get any new bulbs, but there is a plethora of greens to use in cooking and salads.
Thanks for sharing.
I do the same with the root end of sweet and red onions from the store, it does the same thing, except the greens of the onions do not stay thin.
I love nature and its drive to survive.
All these years I've been growing green onions and didn't know this. Thank you! Much appreciated.
I'm not sure it's true of ALL green onions but it sure would be worth the try. These are slightly different from the ones in the grocery store. If you succeed, I would sure love to hear back from you!
@@debbiesorganicgarden✝️
You missed the perfect chance to say, "Give it a green thumbs up!" 😁 Great video. Thanks.
haha, I certainly could have!
I was just gifted about seven of these walking onions. I had no idea I needed to cut them back. Thanks for the tip !
Yay! Great gift and I'm glad you now know how to keep them multiplying.
I had no idea it was “one or the other”. Thanks for this!
I'm glad you were helped!
Green onions have gotten so expensive at the store I have stopped buying them. I will get some bunching onions most definitely. I love to use them in fried rice by the fistfuls and in my scrambled eggs.
Chives in scrambled eggs are better😋
I overwintered onions for the first time and wondered how to maintain them. This was really helpful ~ thank you!💚
Thanks for making this informative video! You taught me something that I'll do for the rest of my life! You'll keep me knee-deep and green onions until the day I drop dead of old age! Green onions will help to extend a guy's life by keeping his insides clean !!;
I sow a packed of bunching onion seeds about 4 years ago. This year i gave a few pots as birthday gift to my cousin.
You are a good friend! Where did you get your seeds? The seeds that come from my bunching onions don't make good bunching onions. Just the scrawny ones you see near the end of the video.
@@debbiesorganicgarden hi
I live in Malaysia, during lockup i managed to get new stock of bunching onion seeds from one of Malaysia well known seed company. Nowadays, with people working, they no longer have new seeds, just selling old onion and chives seed stocks. My chives and bunching onion never bolted, maybe because i always harvest the leaves, cleaned and freeze them. We don't have winter here and my chives and spring onion self divided themselves 3 times a year so my supply so far is constant.
@@80sforever3 very cool. Thanks for sharing.
How do you overwinter them? Or are you in the South? Ohio is warming, as is the rest of the planet. But it is not yet warm enough to harvest onions through the winter months.
@@thisbushnell2012 Malaysia has a tropical rainforest climate with a monsoon spike in rainfall. "Winter" is just the time it's slightly cooler. Still hot and wet
Thank you. I have a tub of onions that I haven't replanted in about 4 years. I don't dig up the bulb ever, but I constantly go to it and cut the green tops off and use them. Yes, I get seed heads, but I haven't worried about them. My onion plants are huge. The green tips are iften an inch or wider. It's awesome! But... I so appreciate your video and learning new ways. I see your success in replanting. I do wish you'd update and show us how your new replanting is doing! Happy gardening!
Thanks for sharing.
I watched this a couple of times. I went out and bought some green onions at the market, and planted them two per pot. I’ll let you know what happens! Thank you!!
Yes, please let me know!
this is one of the only things I can actually grow in my yard without frickin bears tearing them up, it's nice to see how to grow them in profusion. thanks for the video!
Wow! I guess it would be hard to keep bears out of a garden!
Grow more spring onions, around the perimetre, or/and some mastard))They might not like the smell...
My chives are growing blooms. You helped me see that I need to cut them down!
I was going to ask, all of this applies to chives too?
@@tessjuel I cut my chives back, and they already grew back!!
Only need to cut them down if you don't want seeds
Thanks for the tips on growing green onions. I have a batch of them, and I always cut them back because I use so many of them. I didn't realize that cutting them back is what was helping them spread so abundantly. I haven't seen any seed buds until this year. I cut them off, figuring they might spread to areas where I don't want them. I'll make sure I keep a close eye on my onions, now that I have more than I can actually use, to make sure they don't seed on me.
Thanks for sharing!
I bought some green onions at the store a couple of years ago, used the tops in a salad and planted the bottom two inches in the community garden. This is Texas, and they get two or three feet high. And they have survived the abuse by the people who have appointed themselves to over-water and turn the garden into a mudpit every day. I cut off some tops whenever I need them. They flower, but I haven't seen them divide. Onions are tough.
Thanks for sharing! Sounds like they are a very hardy plant!
thank you for the info, very nice of you to share for the betterment of humanity! nice to know some people still care! God bless you!
My onions have been growing for years. Great information here. Thank you, FJB... FJB... FJB... !
Thanks for sharing! What is fjb?
@@debbiesorganicgarden Probably something political, related to (and opposing) the current president of the US. If I am right, it probably stands for "[expletive verb in the imperative tense deleted] Joseph Biden". I am not going to say whether I agree - depending on your orientation, that's not to be discussed in RUclips comments.
@@ellenorbjornsdottir1166 thank you for explaining.
@@ellenorbjornsdottir1166 Your wrong, this is exactly what we need to discuss or our Country will no longer be free
Awesome. I grew both welsh bunching onions and red bunching onions from seed a few years ago. Im almost at the stage of needing to divide do this was very helpful thank you.
That's amazing that you were successful in growing them from seed! Yes, divide and keep them going!
I found this video so helpful. Grow bunching onions, chop them off, don't let them go to seed, and divide them when necessary. Now, I need to find bunching onions.
Thanks for your input. I appreciate it. Try the source for the seeds in the first comment where I provide a link.
I initially clicked on this video because I was curious about how to grow a green onion. But what struck me the most is how pretty your hair is lol!
Haha, well that was a good hair day! Thank you! I hated it when I was a child during a time when the style was long and straight.
In South Africa we call them Spring onions Have become very expensive
Same in New Zealand.WE call them the "spring onions".
Up North they are called scallions.
What a delightful video!
I've been poking the root part of green onions in the ground for years because they give me the green tops for garnishes, but I had no idea they'd multiply like this. That said, I threw some garlic out into the yard and the garlic has formed a big clump. It's time for me to dig down and find out what's under the ground.
The ones in the video are specifically, "bunching onions". I don't know if green onions from the grocery store will do the same.
@@debbiesorganicgarden my understanding is that many green onions are fistulosum.
@@ellenorbjornsdottir1166 that word is a new one for me but, by golly, you are spot on!
Love green onions
Excellent video! Thank you 😃
Very informative. Thanks.
Thank you! I wish fruitfulness to your garden! Love!
Great info. Thanks very much.
Wonderful video. Thank you.
Thanks this was really helpful I am newly growing green onions and will def give this a try.
Just came across your video. I love green onions! I have learned so much from your video. I have subscribed to your station. Ty and God bless ✝️💗
Thanks so much for this!
Thank you, this was what we needed to know.
Great lesson, thank you!
My pleasure!
Thank you for the video 🫶(from Belgium)
I’ve been growing onion greens on my countertop. Just by leaving onions there in a glass bowl. Thankyou for the video, now I will try planting some outside!
They may not be the "bunching" kind but I always say to experiment. It would be very cool if they did divide.
That was the best video I’ve ever seen of all my videos, watching dividing a bunch of earnings
thank you!
This was so helpful. Thank you!
I love learning something new!!!!! God bless you!!!!
And may God bless you as well.
Super informative! Thanks for sharing your experience with growing them, too. It’s little tidbits and notes like that that are helpful
Glad it was helpful!.
I just went thro' my frig. & planted green onions & celery that had lots of roots starting.
Thank you from Australia.
Yes, you can do that with regular onions too! See my short video about that!
Egyptian walking onions, they don't make seeds, but instead little bulblettes on top you can cut/pinch off and plant wherever. Much easier to control.
I have seen that too. My onions do both, oddly. I've never tried to plant them. I will try that when I see it again. Thanks!
I have those too. Planted several years ago & they are walking around my garden. ❤them
Yes, that's what I grow
@@debbiesorganicgarden🦾✝️
I have both bunching and egyptian. I find the egyptian onions are not as tender as the bunching. Good for soup stock though.
Thank you
Thank you.
Thank you for sharing this ✌️✌️
Thank you! I have not been gardening very long. This information was so clear and easy to understand, helping me to take another baby step in the right direction (per FLY LADY).
I love your intro and exit music!! It made my day. ❤❤❤🙏🙏🙏🙌🙌🙌
I had green tails, but not bunching onions 2 years ago.
Thank you so much. Yes, take those baby steps. You'll want to keep growing:)
Debbie, so glad I discovered you. Miss my garden so much as we are
in an apartment now. Thank you again, Lawrie in NW Philadelphia.
Welcome! Pennsylvania is beautiful!
I live in an apartment in the center of a large Southern city, and I am growing carrots, basil, tomatoes, sage, chives, basil, and tons of mint & catnip - in buckets on my balcony! My carrots are huge, and everyone comments on my giant "ferns" (which are just the fluffy green carrot tops!) I love it! ❤❤❤
Thanks I just started using bunching onions and watched your video as a refresher...
Glad it was helpful.
Thanks for great information ❤
Excellent. Thank you.🎉
Excellent very informative well presented video. Thank you ever so much .
I LOVE onions! Thank you. I will be doing this soon!
Yay!
Great info! Thank you.
I have been enjoying regrowing the green onions from the grocers. This year one of my friends gave me a bunch of Egyptian Walking Onions. This will be a treat. Thank you for your explanations about the seeds and pots.
You're welcome!
Loved your video!!
Thanks for sharing
Thank you great GREAT video!
Thank u. I have learnt a lot
Thank you, I loved this video: very clear, very well explained, and very useful.
You're very welcome.
Thank U much🎉from Atlanta Ga ❤

I love your garden
I use a lot of onion for my cooking
I am learning all the ways that I can use green onions instead of sweet onions in my recipes. They are really good in soup and in fresh salads, including potato salad!
Thank you for this information. I cut back some I have in a pot and didn't know I was doing the right thing.
Happy little mistakes! I'm glad it was a good one!
I just bought seedlings and juat transplanted here in Ohio. My first try and cant wait. Great information, thanks for sharing.
I hope they do well for you.
I just subscribe to your channel... I love the way you explain everything!!! Thanks for sharing ❤
Nice video, thank you. I didn't know that the grocer's is this very plant. I'll definitely buy some for my garden today.
Honestly, I've never replanted green onions from the store. Def worth the try if you can't find a source for bunching onions. These are slightly different from green onions from the store.
Much appreciated. Thank you 😊
You are so welcome.
Good info. Thanks for sharing 🧅
Thank you for this video.
Thanks.
Wow great info, thanks!!
Thank you helps a lot.
GREAT video. thank you
Thank you sooo much! I hope you stick around. Maybe there's more for you too:)
thank you
Great tips! I love green onions! Thank you🌿
You are so welcome!
Love it, thanks for sharing! We also do this with hard neck garlic- let some go to seed and cut them for 'green garlic'. They seem to come back forever, too ♥
really? I wonder if they will grow in my zone. Thanks for sharing.
I can smell it from here in my kitchen garden
Thank you and be blessed
and you as well:)
thank you 🌺👍♥️
I never understood this, but you certainly showed me how this works.
Glad it was helpful.
Thank you very much ma'am!
Most welcome 😊
Thank you so much for this info. I didnt know about how to let them bunch.❤
You are so welcome!
Ordered seed. Thank you!
i'm disabled and can't plant outside, is sure wish i could grow that inside here in DFW TX area...i just love scallions!!!
Do you have a sunny window? I wish you could grow them too. Thanks for watching. Maybe you can enjoy gardening with me as I keep posting videos.
Thank you! I never knew!
Green onions get so expensive, some stores sell them a dollar for a bunch
In Tofino,BC,Canada last week green onions were 2.49 a bunch!
Pitt Meadows $2.89
If people stop buying them they will have to lower the price.
Thank you so very much for s beautiful and informative video. I'm inspired. Greetings and blessings from South Africa 😊❤
Thank you and many blessings to you too.
Very helpful, thank you!
Glad it was helpful!
My bunching onions are surviving winters in New Jersey. I don't even cover them anymore. I let my seed heads develop so the pollinators have some early flowers. I have seed heads on my chives right now, and the bunching onions are getting close to working on seeds. I also have my chives and bunching onions a few pots with Alpine strawberries.
The onions/chives I have in full sun are enormous. The plants in partial shade have spread out more and faster.
Interesting! Shade causes them to spread out more. That's probably why the ones in my barrels did better than the ones in the garden. So, do you allow your bunching onions to make seeds? Do you replant them?
@@debbiesorganicgarden I just let them grow where they are. I don't move anything. The chives spread faster, I just pull them out and use them. The onions spread faster in pots. Not sure if rabbits are eating the onion sprouts in the ground, they're not touching the chives.
I see. Thank you! 🙂👍
