Only 10 and get a pin? Puh-lease. Step it up, guys. Travis, you and a couple local friends have taught me more about gardening the past few years then I could ever want. Thank you.
The multiplying onions are truly generational. My family in 4th generation growing same unbroken line since early 40s. They are survivors as cold and bugs don't affect them. We use mostly as green tops thru winter and cook with bulbs and in pickles late spring. They once were staple in southern farm gardens.
Larry Gaskamp, yes, absolutely. I just ordered what I believed to be bulbs and I'm not sure what I got. So, if you are able to part with some I too would love to buy some from you. Please let me know. Thank you.
SUPER SUPER STOKED ABOUT YOUR RAISED BED VENTURE! I asked for more raised bed content and Hot Dang.....it's coming. I'd be happy to send a little something. If everyone just did a little! Hell, I feel I owe for all the free content you've already provided. Come on Fam. Let's make this happen.
I finally found some multiplying onions and got them planted a couple of weeks ago. They have taken off and are already multiplying! I got them here in Texas from Serenity Ag. They were his Grandpa's onions.
I start seeds on my covered patio all the time with no issues. I started my 2nd round of tomatoes in July and now I have cabbage, pole beans and pickling cucumbers in 6 cell trays.
Travis I have grown them for a long time. It took me forever to figure them out….but…..I love them…they are hardy and if you add them to any southern pea when you are cooking them it adds so much flavor to your peas. My favorite way to preserve is freeze drying.
It'll be fun to watch those multiply onions and how they grow compared to walking onions. I did start some lettuces for fall last weekend. They are in the shade, on the back deck. Once sprouted, they will get sun, but be protected if we get another round of hot weather.
The idea of a whole raised bed plot is awesome. I have built a few of them around my property with lumber and it’s fun growing that way. I have several with fruit trees I keep small and add annual veggies around the trees in spring. They dry out really fast so they almost have to have automatic water in summer, but other than that they’re great.
I put my puh cons in a pea can.🤠 I'm starting brassicas and sunflowers on the patio here in central Texas, 8b. Gotta bring them in when it rains, or you'll have perlite everywhere. I'm thankful I'm having to do that now.
On the topic of seed starting outside for fall crops, that’s what I did last year in zone 8a north Texas. I was very successful under some trees on a table. They got plenty of sun to grow well. They got good morning sun, but as the day progressed they got spotty sun in the heat of the day. As they grew I slowly moved them closer to full sun.
Fall starts are easy here in NC. I usually just plant and then sit the trays out on the porch. I water daily and the natural sunlight does its job. If expecting heavy rain, I will bring inside because I do not want the wind and heavy rain to hurt the plants. Once a little more established then I may leave them on a gentle rainy day. Once true leaves and little growth, out in the garden they go.
Travis, southerners pronounce it "puh-kahn". Travis you are a natural on youtube. You give concise information on growing things and to the point. Keep it up, I sent my donation through paypal. Thanks again for all you do.
My broccoli, cauliflower and Brussels sprouts are being grown on a covered patio here in Tennessee, morning sun. Getting ready to plant them. I grow bunching onions love them. Have a great evening.
Those multipliers are called Welsh Onions. I have grown them for 15 years. They will provide green onions from August until February. They send flower stalks up in late winter/early spring. They do not set seed but the bees love the flowers. They also become tough. When they die back, I dig them, separate, and replant every 4-6" in August. Eat half or more of them because they are prolific multipliers and nearly impossible to kill!
Do you leave the mother bulbs in the ground? Or pull those and plant fresh bulblets each fall? I have walking onions, still learning the best way to manage them. I don't have space to let them walk wherever they please. 🤣
I planted some squash,tomatoes,and orka seeds. It has been cloudy and rainy all week here in Jesup Georgia. All plants are doing well except the squash they are real leggy. I do think it works well if you have plenty of sunshine.
From what I understand, these are different than walking onions. They don't form bulbs on the top of the greenery and "walk." They just multiply in the ground.
I start many of my seeds year-round in a 40 gal animal trough in semi shaded area off my patio. Simply spoon out and move seedlings as needed. No special soil, no trays.
I have Dutch Shallots and Potato Onions which are 3 times bigger than these onions.Even my Tree Onions are bigger than those onions, although one only eats them as a big green onion.
I am going to start lettuce transplants on labour day. I already have kale, cabbage,cauliflower,broccoli and swiss chard tranpalnts most of them germinated started them the 17th.
My broccoli, cauliflower, kale, and spinach all germinated just fine on the porch last week. The broccoli, cauliflower, and lettuce I had under grow lights inside didn't do anything. I just moved them to the porch so we'll see.
I just started multiplying onions this year. They are in cups and not in the garden yet. They will be put in as soon as i get two or three dry days in a row. It is raining almost every day here.
I think I might have over done the cabbage. The seeds were from a new source for me and I wasn't sure on the germination. I have onions, broccoli, collards, choi, and two kinds of cabbage. I've already put some in the ground and thinking I'll plant some around the first of September to stagger the harvest. I'm determined to get some huge onions this coming year. Travis it doesn't have to be hot where you and I live to feel hot because of the humidity. I always look forward to fall because of the lower humidity.
I thought so too when I was editing the video. Must have just been the way the light was hitting it. Because I went back to the greenhouse and looked and didn't see it.
Cool about the raised beds. Would you accept mail donations? If so tell us how. My seedling philosophy is that you have to be tough to grow in Florida. As soon as they are germinated plant guys have to face the elements. The thing I must protect seedlings from are the dreaded squirrels. I make chicken mesh covers and set the seed trays out on the garden bench. Sunlight is so much better, and easier, than grow lights.
I had sent you a message about some onions I had you responded they look like the onions you got from Cajun B they do if they are and they will die off in the summer and will re-sprout in the fall
I completely understand the cost I'm currently buying 15 of the 32in tall Vego Beds, the price stings bad. However right now they have a summer sale on them and on each $1000 order they take of $150. And if you sign up for the Loyalty Rewards before placing the order you accumulate cash back rewards on every purchase for future purchases. So far I've ordered 6. 4 the first order 2 on the second but with the summer sale and rewards points I only paid for 5. The trick to it is to not order much over $1000 on each order and get both their summer sale discount and you can use your cash back also towards each purchase after the first.
If you hugelkultur those future raised beds, it significantly brings down the cost of filling them and pays off big time in the long run for water retention and fungal support. I'm talking about the deep beds, mine are about waist high. I think I watered my deep raised beds once or twice this year in the spring when it was dry...come June rain is enough as the rotten wood base acts like a sponge. It takes several years to realize this benefit. Untill then, water as needed. I used live oak logs and sticks in mine...worked great gg
I think I've found a good (and free) source for filling them mostly, but I have to go look at it. A friend whose dad is in the logging industry says he has a huge pile of composted wood chips.
@@LazyDogFarm Not sure how those chips would work, could be good. I know for sure the logs and sticks work like a champ. Good luck with it and...you will get spoiled not having to bend over lol. My logs were free...free is a good price gg
Hi, I think the raised beds are a great idea. Are you the same guy that used to do the Hoss Tool videos with his Father? If so welcome back! Really miss the old channel 🙂
I’ve never tried multiplying or bunching onions, something on my to do list, I love onions and.garlic as you know.😉 Oh the chickens love Sunflower seeds too...😀🇦🇺 Nice idea with the Raised Bed Garden 💡😁
I’ve got a onion my Pawpaw gave me in 2011 and they grow the onion on the tops instead of seeds. They do great here but don’t get really big but that could be something I’m doing wrong. I like them though cause you don’t have to start from seed! Them sunflowers should do good now that it’s not as hot down there but the day length may hurt you a bit. Hopefully you can grow one 15’-20’!!
That sounds like an Egyptian Walking Onion. They form bulbs on the tops and spread that way. I know I'm probably pressing my luck with the sunflowers, but it's worth a shot.
@@LazyDogFarm I’ll look those up Pawpaw always called them winter onions but you know how things are people call it one thing but it turns out to be another so Id say you’re right on what they are! I don’t see any issues growing the sunflowers except day length but that could prove to be in your favor and cause them to bolt and get tall so they can produce seeds!
Hi Travis! Thanks so much for all your videos. Your neighbor's ducks crack me up! Are they perplexed or pissed off that you ran out of free watermelon for them? Do they still consider you as a friend to visit? Do they tend to come over to your house at about the same time everyday? Animals sure do like routine, don't they? Good Job Sir! Chuck in Jensen Beach.
They're usually here in the morning when we walk out the door. Sometimes they'll go back across the street in the middle of the day, the come back in the afternoon. They've been eating mostly figs and muscadines that have fallen on the ground since we no longer have watermelon for them.
I have cabbage and collards that I am growing on my front porch. They sprouted in no time. Problem is that we have had rain or the threat of rain every day since they sprouted. I guess you know where this is going - they are all leggy because I have to keep them further under the porch roof so rain won't knock them out of the trays. Some of the collards are over 3 inches tall and haven't put out true leaves yet.
Travis, do you think that Cajun B (?) Would have any multiplying onions to sell? I ordered some online and I expected bulbs but not sue what I got. (?) Thank you.
A bunching onion (aka spring onion) is a small onion where the seeds are planted really dense and harvested in "bunches" by reaching down and grabbing a bunch at the time. Multiplying onions are little bulbs that you plant and they multiply as they grow.
I don’t see any blue dot slider thing to increase the amount to $20. Perhaps that option isn’t available on the app? Regardless, thanks for all that you do Travis, here’s another $10! I’m looking forward to seeing all of your raised bed content and hoping you cover drip irrigation :)
So I do a lot of my seed starting outside and our screened in patio, only problem this year is white flies. So I might do them inside. I planted some multiplying onions about five months ago and they have not done much a lot of the tops actually had fallen over and they look like they’re dying off not sure why? Maybe you need more fertilizing to those. Or it’s just been too hot
Might be that it was too hot for them. Seems like someone else said they're usually done come summer. That's when you harvest and split them for fall planting.
Travis, I have been looking into getting the olle beds, but have been cautious because the lack of bracing. I have some large wooden beds I built that bowed and didn't want it to happen with the more expensive metal ones. Are you going to add bracing or any supports?
A neighbor gave me some multiplying onions but I have not been able to store them from year to year. Either I put them in the closet with my hot water heater and they dry out to the point of being no good, or they freeze. Not sure how to keep them year to year.
They usually store pretty easily, but you shouldn't have to store them for very long. From what I understand, you harvest them in the early summer and then replant again in the fall.
I have a question about the blue stuff. I mixed up a 5 gallon bucket of it for my siphon mixer well i didnt get to use it because it started raining on me. So i put the lid on the mixture and went inside. Today the blue stuff is purple. I have never seen it do that before. Is it still ok to use? And what would turn it purple?
I bought Multiplier sets earlier this year, and now they're going seed. Why is this happening? Should I pull them all, out? Are they woody now since they bloomed?
I saw the Helena measuring jug. I went to work for Helena in late 1976 at Statesboro. It was owned by people from the USA. In the 80s, the people sold out to German Bayer, AG who in turn sold out to the Japanese marketing firm Marubeni. I gracefully quit in the 80s after 10 years. I do get a retirement check of 109.00 per month. Helena never had giveaways. hahaha. Eaglegards... P.S. The history of Bayer during WW II was they made the nerve gas for the chambers. Bayer's property was confiscated after the war and divided up. Truman's democrat pal, the Sterling drug family got the logo rights for the USA and the rights to sell aspirin. During the 90s, Sterling sold the rights back to Bayer for 1 billion dollars. It's hidden about the property confiscated after both WW I and II.
Not sure of anywhere that sells these. I know Baker Creek used to carry some strain of multiplying onion at one time, but seems like it was different than this one.
@@LazyDogFarm Most of us down here call them Shallots. Not sure if they technically are one. I buy sacks of them from gardeners in my area to plant on my farm. Check out this PDF: www.lsuagcenter.com/NR/rdonlyres/9E30F191-2704-4BB9-A051-7A3FF7D9715E/44481/pub2318AlliumCropsLOWRES.pdf
@@charlieloup5186 I have these onions. My Cajun son-in-law’s grandfather down in Choupic, LA gave me a handful in 2016. He called them Shallots also. He said pull em up then replant in fall. You can’t kill these things, even if you ignore them. Very prolific.
So fun story these are not actually onions these are a variety of Shallot people need to stop calling them onions its like Yams vs. Sweet Potatoes. Shallots grow differently than onions. I bought some, and mine are doing great, but I almost lost it when they started flowering. I got worried, so I pulled them all out of the ground. Had to do research and found out what a shallot scape was. Now I wish I had known to cut the scape early to promote bigger bulbs. I ended up letting mine bloom. I still have giant bulbs but I wonder how much bigger they could have gotten had I known. Anyways happy gardening all
These aren't walking onions. They don't "walk." They just multiply in the ground. They don't form little bulbs on top of the greenery like walking onions do.
@@LazyDogFarm they are phenomenal. Bought them for my dad. Two years ago and he's got them in the thousands now. Rugged plant. Survived and thrived in the freeze of 2021.
Only 10 and get a pin? Puh-lease. Step it up, guys. Travis, you and a couple local friends have taught me more about gardening the past few years then I could ever want. Thank you.
How did you do $20? I don't see the option.

Very interesting! Enjoy learning more varieties to try in the future! Thanks.

@@CynthiaHollenberger I leave the big bulb in the ground

Not sure if he sells any or not.
what is the diffence between bunching onion andmultipling onion
A bunching onion (aka spring onion) is a small onion where the seeds are planted really dense and harvested in "bunches" by reaching down and grabbing a bunch at the time. Multiplying onions are little bulbs that you plant and they multiply as they grow.
Where to get those multiplying onions?
Good morning. Do you have any multiplying onions for sale. I live in GA. Thanks
We don't. This is my first year growing them and we just have a small raised bed of them.

Travis, I have been looking into getting the olle beds, but have been cautious because the lack of bracing. I have some large wooden beds I built that bowed and didn't want it to happen with the more expensive metal ones. Are you going to add bracing or any supports?
I wasn't planning on adding any bracing. Seems like once they're full of soil, the soil should support them well enough.
A neighbor gave me some multiplying onions but I have not been able to store them from year to year. Either I put them in the closet with my hot water heater and they dry out to the point of being no good, or they freeze. Not sure how to keep them year to year.
They usually store pretty easily, but you shouldn't have to store them for very long. From what I understand, you harvest them in the early summer and then replant again in the fall.
If your ground freezes (like in Maine) can you dry the Cajun onions and save for the spring?
Yes, they will store very well in a root cellar or something like that. Then you can just replant when it's warm enough.
What is this rain you talk of kemosabe? Asking on behalf of Pulaski county.
It's this stuff that comes from the sky every few days around here.
I have a question about the blue stuff. I mixed up a 5 gallon bucket of it for my siphon mixer well i didnt get to use it because it started raining on me. So i put the lid on the mixture and went inside. Today the blue stuff is purple. I have never seen it do that before. Is it still ok to use? And what would turn it purple?
It should be just fine. Just swirl around the bucket with the nozzle to give it a good mix before watering it.
Does cajun B sell those?
I think he sells some locally in Louisiana, but I don't know if he sells them online.
Hey Travis can i mail you a check? what date do you plan to start the Savanna Mustard and Bok Choi ? I'm in zone 8 B to.
Sure. Our PO Box is in the video description. Thanks in advance! I'll be starting the mustard and pak choi in another week or so.
How are the peas doing today
Doing well. We'll have an update on Wednesday's video.
Travis, where did you get your
Trays (top and bottom) from? I want to bite the bullet and invest in trays that will be used in years to come. Thanks
Got them from Greenhouse Megastore online. If you search for "Garland trays," you should find them.

I bought Multiplier sets earlier this year, and now they're going seed. Why is this happening? Should I pull them all, out? Are they woody now since they bloomed?
I think you'll want to harvest and split them when they go to seed. They should store just fine so you can replant next year.
do you plant the sunflower seeds in shell or out of shell?
I plant them with the shell
I saw the Helena measuring jug. I went to work for Helena in late 1976 at Statesboro. It was owned by people from the USA. In the 80s, the people sold out to German Bayer, AG who in turn sold out to the Japanese marketing firm Marubeni. I gracefully quit in the 80s after 10 years. I do get a retirement check of 109.00 per month. Helena never had giveaways. hahaha. Eaglegards... P.S. The history of Bayer during WW II was they made the nerve gas for the chambers. Bayer's property was confiscated after the war and divided up. Truman's democrat pal, the Sterling drug family got the logo rights for the USA and the rights to sell aspirin. During the 90s, Sterling sold the rights back to Bayer for 1 billion dollars. It's hidden about the property confiscated after both WW I and II.
Thanks for sharing that history. Helena is big here in cotton and peanut country. A friend gave me some of those Helena mixing jugs.
Did you plant some of those fat okra?
Some of the varieties we planted this year were the "fat" type. They just did okay, but I prefer the varieties that stay tender at longer lengths.
I'm looking for these bulbs. Anyone have a source for them?
Someone in the comments mentioned something about buying some from a place in Texas. Don't remember the name of it though.
tray has 231
We'll do some frost cover stuff when it gets cold. Don't know that I would call it a low tunnel, but it's similar.
Curious about the greenhouse...size and brand?
It's 10x16'. Got it from Atlas Greenhouse which is local to us.
where can i get these cajun onions seeds
Not sure of anywhere that sells these. I know Baker Creek used to carry some strain of multiplying onion at one time, but seems like it was different than this one.
Any garden or hardware store in South Louisiana will have them in the Fall. I doubt anything you find online would be the same.

Most of us down here call them Shallots. Not sure if they technically are one. I buy sacks of them from gardeners in my area to plant on my farm. Check out this PDF:

@@charlieloup5186 I have these onions. My Cajun son-in-law’s grandfather down in Choupic, LA gave me a handful in 2016. He called them Shallots also. He said pull em up then replant in fall. You can’t kill these things, even if you ignore them. Very prolific.
Does anyone know how Brian did $20? I don't see the option.
Hold blue dot below super thanks prompt and slide to the right. Thank you for trying and good luck. 👍🏿
do these have seeds or only clump??
From what I understand, they do flower but they don't have seeds. You have to split the bulbs and replant those.
Are you on cash app? Don’t have PayPal
Unfortunately not. Just Super Thanks on YT and PayPal.
Where can you find seeds for these onions
I don't think they make seeds, just flowers. You have to replant the bulbs.
First?
Congrats!
@@LazyDogFarm Pin it and keep it going.
So fun story these are not actually onions these are a variety of Shallot people need to stop calling them onions its like Yams vs. Sweet Potatoes. Shallots grow differently than onions. I bought some, and mine are doing great, but I almost lost it when they started flowering. I got worried, so I pulled them all out of the ground. Had to do research and found out what a shallot scape was. Now I wish I had known to cut the scape early to promote bigger bulbs. I ended up letting mine bloom. I still have giant bulbs but I wonder how much bigger they could have gotten had I known. Anyways happy gardening all
Hate those walking onion things..
These aren't walking onions. They don't "walk." They just multiply in the ground. They don't form little bulbs on top of the greenery like walking onions do.
Those are great onions. I bought 100 from serenity ag in Texas.
I didn't know anywhere that sold them. Glad you were able to get some!
@@LazyDogFarm they are phenomenal. Bought them for my dad. Two years ago and he's got them in the thousands now. Rugged plant. Survived and thrived in the freeze of 2021.
