I just ordered a gallon of each and there was no place to put my lazydogfarm discount so I did not receive the discount. It said it would be applied at purchase put I hit pay with pay pal and no discount. Help! :(
Planting my watermelon plants tonight. Had 100% germination on abt 36 watermelon seeds thanks to your videos!!!
Awesome!
Those red onions are beautiful!!
This is my 2nd year trying to grow onions. Already better than last year.
Those ducks are waiting/drooling.
My Chiantis were massive! And this was the first year I planted a bed of onions that I started myself.
Good timing, Watermelon is next on my list to plant. Thanks.
Those red onions are gorgeous!
Them onions are gorgeous ! Love me some red onions especially with my fried fish.
Nice vid buddy great job.
I planted Sangria water melon transplants on July 11 last year and had a wonderful crop. 18 to 23 pounders and boy howdy sweety. I'm in metro Atlanta.
Those Chianti (sp?) red onions were a beautiful harvest! We have similar climate on the other side of the state, so need to go back and look at your timeline for planting and such as we look ahead to next year! Wow. Just wow...and they did so well even with the strange weather patterns the Lord has given us temperature and moisture wise. Thanks for sharing.
You nailed the spelling!
In Illinois we put 5 seeds on a hilled mound. Put the mounds about two feet apart. They like friends.
"Legacy" is a seeded watermelon that has a Brix of 12. They are so sweet that they put me to sleep after I eat some. Great for watermelon wine.
There are VERY few of my seeds that are germinating this year, I think my soil is too heavy. I’m going to try again, though, thank you for the motivation!!
I enjoy your honesty.
GREAT job on those red onions!
Garden is looking good
Hi there, You all came up in my recommended today. I just cane in from working to cool off so I am going to watch this video for tips and tricks. I am planting my watermelons tonight or tomorrow. God bless y'all.
Dude. Thank you for your content.
Your onions are awe-inspiring ❤
HUGE red onions. World records! Reds are usually smaller too. They have peppery and tearful bite to them. I'm long day in Michigan, so I just watch what you do. Not so much which ones you grow. I'm looking for Vidalia onions ready to hit the stores right about now. I found they were juicy and had a bite to them relative to the sweet onions I usually buy.
🐝 Thanks for the great video 💚
So glad you are in South GA 😅 GO DAWGS🎉
Nice onions!!❤
Hey Trav, make sure you bend at the knees when lifting something heavy, ie those MONSTER ONIONS!
Wonderfully huge red onions😊
Chicken’ the winner of Chinese Cabbage😢👍
Also those Chinese cabbage have protein (worms/bugs) so really good as a chicken feed alternative!
Nice onions!!
Your chickens eat gooood!
We live up North New York And we we have a hard job Trying to grow watermelon it just don't seem to work out that good I was gonna try it again this year and see what happens The onions you got beautiful look at onions So we'll get you on some more we're new Subscriber I'll be watching one stay safe my friend
Closing the loop on a farm is wonderful! Zero waste is what we all strive for. It's amazing what chicken's can so for farming. No wonder they are the gateway animal. We're in north Georgia and I don't know if it's too much clay, not enough sand but our onion's look more like ping ball size. Tried for year's to grow them with no success so now I but mine at a farmer's market. I would absolutely support you guys if we lived closer. Thank you for your videos, giving us hints on how to improve.
Too early, can't type...need more coffee!!😂
Try intermediate day onions. I'm in upstate South Carolina and they do a lot better than the short day onions Travis grows. My onions are just now beginning to form bulbs. Intermediate day onions begin bulb swell when the days are about 13-14 hours long, which allows more time for the onion foliage to grow. The more foliage, the bigger the bulbs, in general.
@@dvrmte oh my goodness I've never heard of this onion. I will look them up. Thank you so much!!! When do you plant your onion's?
@@donnacochran3335 I set out transplants in early-mid March. Candy is a good yellow intermediate day variety with large bulbs. There are many others. Johnny's Seeds has a pretty good selection. I start my seeds indoors around mid November. There are several online sources for transplants.
So far I have NOT got a single harvest of Chinese cabbage but did know they were notorious for being a delicacy of any/every pest you can think of and bolting just as it’s heading up!!!
That’s why they’re used as a trap crop.
Travis can you tell me how much Micro Boost do I use in a gallon watering can ,learning so much from your videos thanks for sharing.
Great harvest what kind of squash is those have a safe trip.
Newbie ❤
Travis with a cabbage full of worms you didn't need the sausage 😂
Haha!
How many acres do you have? I love your set up, we were looking at property in Georgia and almost moved there

If at first you don't succeed, try, try, again.
Travis can you make a video on pickling your onions??
We did it on a video several years ago, but can't remember which one. Here's the recipe on our blog: lazydogfarm.com/blogs/recipes/pickled-red-onions
❤
Travis where do you buy the DP Sweet onion seeds. I know it's to late for this year but id like to try them for the next season. Thanks in advance.
Got them from NE Seeds online.
I've got watermelon seedlings that are almost ready to put in the ground
Travis
If you sprayed Bt on your cabbage would it have taken care of the worm problem?
Did you think about getting a Tilmor E-Ox that might uproot your onion weeds using Hoss cultivator teeth?
Bt would have definitely helped. Those Tilmor walk-behind tractors are nice, but hard to justify one unless you have long rows.
How much water should a watermelon get per week? I have never been sure about this, after all they are like 97% water. I believe this was why I had that Blssom Rot issue last year. Not do to poor soil but, lack of water, as some times I would wait a few days to water because to me the ground seemed at time not hot, and still some what moist. As in North Dakota had crazy foggy summer days last year. super dense and super wet.
I water mine with drip every other day assuming no rainfall.
@LazyDogFarm this is good advice.
Question you know of those Burpee Watering Trays? I believe they hold 2 litter worth of water in them.
If a guy used something like that, would you use it 3 or 4 times a week?
❤🍉
I live in central Oklahoma. Should I grow short day or intermediate day onions?
You could probably grow both do a trial of both to see what your microclimate works best with, I'm in NE OK and I usually grow short day. Usually transplant in ground by Mar 1st, This fall I'm going to do a Nov planting and try overwintering to see if I get better results than a spring planting.
How deep did you transplant them? They looked long and leggy...
They were a little. I don't plant them super deep because they're going to crawl and vine anyways.
You grow the largest onions I’ve ever seen!
Like ya AO cap (Home town)
If do enjoy a good cold watermelon in the summer heat.
Dang I wish I was your neighbor !! I’d come help do everything and supply some fish , while learning and hopefully reap the benefits ! 😂🤣.
Good mentors are hard to find
Travis if you have small shallots do you still cure them??
I would assume so, but I've never had much luck growing shallots down here.
Y would you plant gmo seedless watermelon s sir
Why do you leave the tops on onions and garlic?
Can you plant 2 types of watermelon plants together
As long as you're not trying to save the seeds, yes. Cross pollination won't affect the fruit -- only the seeds.
Birds at my entire 150 foot row of contender snaps, any suggestions? North eastern NC
Get some cats. lol
How do you stop ants and rolly pollies?
Not sure about "rolly pollies," but ants are usually deterred by disturbance. Scratch around in the soil every few days and they'll tend to move to an area of lesser disturbance.
What kind of red onions did you grow here? I’m in southwest Missouri and I can’t get my onions to bulb? I’d like to try your red verity but idk what kind they are?
We grow a short-day variety called Chianti. Probably wouldn't do well in Missouri though. You'd want an intermediate-day variety there.
@@LazyDogFarm thank you when do you think I should plant them outside in February or March and is April too late? Also, do you think having our back porch lights on where our garden is will mess with the onions cycle and cause them not too bulb? I don’t know how light sensitive they are.
Hi. What was the red onion breed please that is slow to bolt?
Chianti
Where do you get your onion seeds from?
NE Seeds online
i would put a fan to help the onions dry faster and keep the air flowing so you dont get mold
Have u stopped using the liquid fertilizer in the injector completely? Just remembered u saying u were fertilizing with the spray nozzle instead of the injector. Wondering because I broke my injector last winter & trying to decide to buy an another one…or not. I always had a lot of problems with my old one. I thought it was because there was a long distance between my garden & my faucet…about 100+ ft. But it looks like ur garden is a long way from ur facet also. So maybe it was just me. I use weed barrier clothe in my garden so it is very hard to fertilize with the pellets like u do. Liquid fertilizer is the the best way to go for me. Is there any other way to use liquid fertilizer …my garden is too large to do it by hand & im too old 🥴
I still use it a lot. I use it to inject through a hand watering nozzle, an overhead sprinkler, and through the drip system.
how can you havest more seeds from seedless watermelons if they do not have seeds?
That not exactly how it's done. Here's a video where we explain how seedless watermelon seeds are created: ruclips.net/video/dcRFdOZZ3rI/видео.html
lppks to me like it would be hard to see/ hold the invisible seed, LOL
How in the world did you get such huge onions?
You still using Hoss tools?
Do you give your watermelons calcium nitrate to help with blossom end rot?
That Nature Safe 8-5-5 has 4.5% Calcium in it. Good for my tomatoes too.
I don't. AgroThrive and Nature Safe both have calcium, so we haven't found a need to supplement.
@@LazyDogFarm ok I didn’t know that. So you just use the agrothrive for all your fruits and vegetables?
@@Shawn15Kirkpatrick We use Nature Safe too, but everything gets a little AgroThrive.
we have been growing seedless watermelons for 10yrs and I still believe seeded watermelons out preform and taste much better, What do you think?
The seedless we've grown taste pretty dang good. I prefer the newer hybrids (seeded or seedless) to the older varieties because the fruit size is so much more consistent. I've trialed quite a few of the older, heirloom varieties and they're just inconsistent and lack vigor IMO.
@@LazyDogFarm Travis have you tried the Jubilee watermelon?It's very vigorous, very productive, I got about 13 15 lb watermelons and some smaller ones from a 6' by 6' plot.They taste really good, very sweet, very crisp very juicy, and not too many seeds, but the seeds are quite large.
Where can I get those red onion seeds?
NE seeds online
So I have 2 more years of fine tooning my seedless germination as I tried twice (with the same batch of seeds) and probably didn't get 30% germination, and the 2nd time I used the saran wrap over the tray on the heat map after 14 days I finally gave up with only 4 out of 18 germinating. I think next year I'm going to top my seed trays with Vermiculite instead of Perlite as I've seen alot of commercial guys doing it.
I'm not sure that vermiculite vs perlite is going to make a huge difference. I think the trick is heat and minimal watering. My germ mat thermostat read 105+ several times throughout the few days mine were germinating. I thought that might be too hot for them, but didn't seem to bother them.
@@LazyDogFarm I had my tray on a 5 tier rack with a heat mat under the tray and another heat meat on the shelf above limiting the heat escape, both mats were set to max temp. Trays was pretty moist when first seeding, wrapped in saran wrap and didn't touch it or water it for 14 days, finally took the wrap off after 3 seedlings were getting somewhat big. Figured if those 3 were up the rest just wasn't going to sprout.
Pickled onion recipe please or a video?

Hey Travis. Who makes a good wheel hoe?
Why is it that red watermelon seeds germinate faster than yellow watermelon seeds
2 for one worms and veg for the chickens 😅
Please help me to get my watermelon seeds to germinate. I can not for the life of me understand why they are not germinating.
I just found my tomato seeds weren't germinating in a small green house outside. I brought them into the house, and boom, they geminated. Then put them back outside. We're sometimes still in the 40's at night here in Michigan yet. Temperature might be important. Or maybe soak them in water until the seeds open.
They like consistently warm temps. Try the saran wrap trick we did. It works well, you just have to keep a close eye on the tray and remove the wrap as soon as they start popping through the soil.
Do you have a seed warming mat? If not they make a big difference.
@@autohelix I don’t but I think I should get one. What brand do you recommend?
@@caroleferreira2846 My Wife got it off amzon. They sell them in many different sizes. We have ours hooked up to the grow light timer, so about 14 hours a day. They really do make a huge difference.
Hi I've been watching you about 3 months now. I watched one that you drove to get your fertilizer. Can I get the address please. Thank you
I'm guessing you're referring to the video when I got a big load of compost? That came from The Cotton Gin in Lenox, GA. It's right off I-75.
It's your fertilizer 8-5-5
@@LazyDogFarm no you drove to buy fertilizers.
@@lisagrimsley6929 Oh that was Graco Fertilizer in Cairo, GA.
where are the watermellons?
I keep having fungus on plants
Biggest red onion I have ever seen .
Yeah. He's messing with us. He knows they're huge too. Did he grow them from seed or slips? I just got mine in 3 weeks ago. I'll show him!

But don't go to other channels for their tricks because that is just anecdotal, you can't trust their results, they didn't run tests and they can't tell you why it works for them lol
