Oops I was wrong, I realized I miss spoke on the Red Cabernet. Its actually a hybrid as well. Which I didn't realize since Ive grown it for 3 years and never thought to look into it. I have grown the flat of Italy, and also Austrian brown which are both heirlooms. Either way, doesn't change the fact Ive giving it a shot for 3 years and I still don't like growing it.
Wow! You should be proud! Thanks for sharing! You are an amazing gardener!
Such an inspiration, ty for sharing your knowledge, experiences & your amazing garden! Your videos are incredibly well done Bre
Thank you so much!
Thank you!! Here is Arizona I actually start my seeds in the next month. I grew a handful of onions this year, and I really want to get them bigger. I appreciate this!
I was so excited to see this video. I am absolutely terrible at growing onions
That was a harvest to be proud of. You're so personable, and your voice... You sound exactly like my daughter. lol.
Bre, I just found your channel and I love your style! Clear, concise instructions. I've been gardening off and on for...... 40 years. I'm still learning. I have never had success with onions. Hopefully, with your tips, that will change! I learned a trick from Becky Jones on Acre Homestead. Dice up a zip lock bag of onions and pop in the freezer. They are ready to go in a second for whatever you want. It's so convenient to have them already cut up. I freeze dry diced and sliced onions too. I am now subscribed and look forward to learning more from you. This summer was a bust for me with all of this heat! 2 days ago the heat index was 112 here! That's too hot for humans and veggies. I'm looking forward to fall gardening! Thank you for sharing your gardening and preserving journey. Your garden is amazing!
Thank you for share this very, very good video! Congratulations🎉 of your beautiful harvest! I live in Texas and this is my first time plant oñions this is Dicember 14, 2023 Acording what you said, seeds need to be planting by January and thansplant 2 weeks after the frost. Hope doing good like you! Have a blessed day😊💐
Wow! Just wow! Thanks for sharing. I am definitely going to use you growing tips next year.
We freeze uncooked and chopped it’s so flavoursome my abs so handy to chuck into almost any dish
My husband even eats it in the form daily for health benefits
Saving for next year as inspo. Am I the only planning 2024 already?? 😂
Never to early to plan the following years garden!!! Always taking notes!
Nope! Me too 😂
I am planning 2024 also!!!
I thought the same thing!

I planted half of my set onions today 👍
Thanks for sharing these tips.
Keep up the great work! 💖
Thanks for your honesty. I also want to grow onions and garlic and its my second year, and its pretty discouraging, even when I obey all the 'rules' about cboice of daylength, timing and watering. You have inspired me to carry on.
Well your hubby is a keeper for sure, this is something that would happen to me as well 😆
I absolutely love your content! ❤️
Thank you so much!
Beautiful Harvest.
I was going to attempt overwintering onions for next year's harvest but I never actually considered starting them earlier(I usually start my seeds in late February.) Definitely takes away the worry of them not making it through the weird winters we've been having.
Yes our winters have been all over the place. I would love to try a winter sowing though!
Beautiful onions! So hugh! Congratulations! Have you done a video on someone of your favorite sources or resources for information on gardening? If not would you consider doing one?
Love that idea, thanks for the suggestion!
Salotta bulbs.👍👍
Good
Wow nice harvest. Here in Hawaii it is so hard to grow onions.
Brie,
Thanks for this video! I'm already a couple of weeks late on the getting mine started from seed - also just this week I found out (using the USDA map) that here (St. Louis area) I'm actually 7a and not 6b! I've always known that St.L (maybe because of the river?) is a strip of 6b surrounded by 6a, but my actual area is 7a! (I know it's all just averages.) Anyway, I've never planted out much earlier than 1-2 weeks before last frost, and am learning what a mistake that is. Thanks for reinforcing this information and making me feel better about it! Also love the info about growing fewer seeds per cell - going to give that a try when I start my seeds tomorrow.
I do have a question: you said that your onions survived -19? A quick google search says they don't like under 32 (?) or were you talking in Centigrade? Anyway, I'm trying an experiment right now - I left the small onions from last year in the ground to see if they can overwinter - it's been consistent 0-10 degrees for about 2 weeks, but since it snowed as well, I didn't cover them (counting on the snow to do the insulation...)
Hey there fellow grower if have not dried your onions as of yet you will learn very quickly that you do not get a huge return on them at all after drying and grinding into power . Although very good tasting for sure … Pete from Pete’s Patch Farms keep it going great video…
رائع
Can I ask where did you buy raised beds really like your video learned a lot thank you for your time 👍👍 👍
💐💝 all love
This was an amazing harvest! Good job. I actually took notes during your video to help me do better next year.
Thank you so much! Hope it helps!1 Wishing you a great 2024 harvest!
Great
Karen-Aussie--U are wrong about red onions as we call them Spanish Onions great in salads mild to taste for you...U can eat then raw to cooked to your meals big time enjoy big time.❤😂❤😂❤
What did you feed the seeds inside and once you planted them out? My leaves on most my onions seem to be not as green and thriving as some. Not sure if I should use a more all purpose fertilizer or nitrogen specific maybe? Curious what you used 🙂
I used a all purpose fertilizer inside. Next year my plan is to try kept fertilizer while all my plants are inside. As far as outside goes that depended on my soil test. My soil was lacking a lot of nitrogen so that's typically what my plants got fed with. Some blood meal in the beginning and worm castings later on.
Nice
Large onion 🌰harvesting,very interesting.bangladesh💙💥💢🤝
I love you.
What zone are you in ?
Someone is always trying to twist my onions
Where did you get those huge red bowls you use for your preservation recipes? Thanks 😊
Off amazon! They are the tupperwear brand. They are linked in my store front under kitchen favorites!

ممتاز
Should I soil test my raised bed soil. I just put it in a few months ago from bag soil. I’m so nervous about!!!!!
Never hurts. Give you a better idea of what it could be lacking. Out of my 6 years gardening this was my first season soil testing and I can tell such a difference in the health of my plants!
👍👍

Omg now I’m worried. Some of the tips of my onions were flopping over so I figured I would grab them and dehydrate them. Now I’m worried I will get small or moldy onions 😳😳😳. Now I know not to touch the others.
Im sure a few doesn't hurt, but It would be something I wouldn't do often. My harvest last year was terrible by cutting the tops. A few days after doing so all my onions were wiped. Wishing you a great harvest this season!

I love your growing garden, not grass
Thanks. I hope you've cut the hair by now.
Thanks for sharing these tips.
Keep up the great work! 💖
Onions have been good to me but last year like you i did things a little different and as you said more space apart was a big difference someone said 3 inches apart and i got ok onions with that space but last year i did 6 inches and wow i had some big onions there were some smaller ones but funny those were the ones i put here and there where there was space but i had some with some pepper plants they were the same size nice and big.
Like you i do mess around with hybrids even though i know i cant keep the seeds but i just dont have the energy to fight all the bugs and disease i try to keep a routine on my sprays and fertilizing but im 55 with a bad back sovyeah that im so happy to see your harvest and see how happy you are and that you learned something that will bring you success in the future because i learn something new every year so good some not so good. Another thing is grow what you eat you only have so much room and it get expensive to garden when you dont have animals and space to really compost.i have it bad with that one because no one in my family eat tomatoes but myself o can make sauce with them but i was growing 8-12 tomato plants every year and tomatoes are easy to start but so many disease ugh so im gonna cut back on them b cuz hibbys job was getting all them. Sorry this so long understand if you dont get to read the whole thing but you got me so excited and just wanted to share as well i guess so if you get this far my question is does it cost to have them test your soil and where did you say to take it again lol. Be blessed and i hope you have a awesome growing season this 2024 year.❤
Bre, I'm feeling like a proud mother/granny right now haha. Firstly, I started serious vegetable gardening three years ago and even though this was my best onion year, it still was disappointing especially after seeing yours. I love all your pointers and realize what mistakes I've been making, We are in Zone 8 here in north Texas and I will most likely try all seeds this winter starting in late December instead of buying bulbs. Thanks for all the tips and great videos that you put out...your style is very precise, well thought out, tidy and your love for gardening (and chickens) shines brightly, love that! p.s. Since our tomato harvest was insane this year, we ordered your exact tomato press machine and love it. Happy Gardening!
So excited to hear about your great tomato harvest!!! That tomato press works some wonders on preserving day! So glad you like it!! Wishing you a great 2024 onion harvest!!
What zone are you in I'm in the fraser valley bc zone 7
Got it
Oh how I’d love a freeze dryer
Beautiful onions, amazing, but please consider showing us the actual harvest, that's the fun part and we missed it.
I wish I would have gotten more footage! With all the back and forth trying to figure it out last minute I unfortunately didn’t get much of it filmed. I was going to scrap the whole thing but wanted to sit down and chat about it! Hopefully next year this harvest will go a lot smoother now that I’ve experienced such a great harvest!
Thank you for creating this amazing video, I really enjoyed it!
I think I’m in love…….
With those beautiful looking onions. Great video!
Excellent video. I've grown short day onions for 30 years... from transplants. I haven't had success with growing from seed. You've inspired me to try again this Fall.
I was surprised at how comprehensive your video was. It took me years to learn what you shared.
Not as criticism, but since you desire to learn...
2 things.
I've found it's important to mulch the transplants as soon as they perk up in their new home. It helps moderate both water and soil temp. Here, I put down about an inch of loose wood mulch. We typically get half inch to inch of rain at a time. If you get more rain typically, then a deeper mulch may work better.
Also, loved the rack your husband made for drying. For storage, I suggest using stacking milk crates. I put down newspaper at the bottom. Then arrange a single layer. Then stack another crate. A cheaper option is nursery flats that the big box stores discard. Their disadvantage is the depth. They can't be stacked, so you need more shelves. Finally, I usually keep them in the garage. Don't do that if you have a gas lawn mower or other chemical odors in the garage.
Thank you so much for sharing your experience and tips!! Appreciate it so much!
Thanks for the tip on the milk crates. Good idea. 👍
ممتاز
Hey Bre! Wow!! Beautiful harvest. In my second year growing onions and they were larger than last year, but not as big as I would have liked, but nonetheless I am thankful. I have to do some research so my onions can grow better next year. Hopefully, I'll have that 3rd year boom like you.
Keep it up!!! You will totally get it figured out!! I was hyped needless to say considering it took me so many chances.

Beautiful onions! I grow onions almost every year. I grow heirlooms, NonGMO, so I can save seed. I’m a high advocate of seed saving non gmo seeds
How hot do your temperatures get in the summer?
🎉 excellent
The dream garden of many people. Beautiful
what is the name this onion?
Salut tout le monde
If you like white ones I planted the blanca ones and they lasted through the winter perfectly
Thanks for the suggestion!
I plant out onion seedlings as soon as the garden soil is workable. That date will be different each year.
Yes! Honestly I should have probably gotten them into the ground even sooner this winter but I was worried about a cold snap. Whens the earliest you have planted before your last average frost?
@@itsbreellis 3.5 weeks before last frost was the earliest. 2 weeks before average last frost was the latest.

Hi Bre I have a 100 gallon grow bag and I was wondering if I could plant onions and garlic together in the same bag?
I would think that would work!
@@itsbreellis thanks Bre 😊🙏
Beautifully bounty! You should be proud!🎉
Thank you!
I was hoping you would mention the exact type of fertilizer/NPK you used at each stage of the growing process. I need to know so I can try it exactly like you did. Haven't had great success with my onions. Appreciate it if you would let me know. Thanks!
(Zone 6b) For the first two years I grew onions and I did the cut back the leaves which resulted in small bulb size. Some of the information I took were from some famous youtube gardeners. However this year I started seeds in Mid January and planted them out kinda of late in early May (ground was barely workable) but I didn't cut the leaves and they are doing great! Next year I'll plant them early as I can.
Hope you have a great harvest this season!! I bet I could have gotten mine in the ground even sooner this year but I was worried about a potential cold snap that never ended up happening!
@@itsbreellis Thank you! This season has just been too weird to be honest. Who knows what may happen for next year. Just hope for the best! I like your content!
You should be proud, great accomplishment. Here in southern Idaho we have two onion pests, thrips and root grubs. For the first neem oil applied every other day works and for the grubs I use Sevin. For the organic gardener Sevin may not be in the game plan but it fixes the problem and I apply it in the last six weeks of growth once a week to the base of the onion bulb. Again, great onions.
Good morning.
Just a cool idea you can do when your potatoes come out for drying them/curing them and doesn't take up too much room. You can go to your local grocery store and ask them to save you strawberry boxes or grape boxes. Grape ones are more steady but either will work. They do reall good because they can be stacked about 10 to 12 high and most have multiple holes in them for air circulation. I got mine from my local publix after i asked the produce manager to save them for me.
This video is great, because I’m at the same level of knowledge of gardening. I think that you’re going to get me as a subscriber.
I'm new to your channel and I'm planning on buying the beds you have listed but I'd really love to know exactly what soil you use. Ik it depends on where you live but still knowing what you use I could get an idea. I've watched several videos but can't seem to know exactly what you use to get started.
O MY GOSH! I'm thought the ROOF HAPPY for you GAL! What a HUGE accomplishment! Last yr was my first year growing onions and it was not a complete failure but NOTHING like what you have done. In fact as my daughter says "I'm Jelly". LOL it's the word for Jealous, she makes me laugh so hard. Your a TRUE ONION grower now and I'm going to TAKE YOUR ADVICE and work on my skills more. Thank you THANK YOU And THANK U for all your info and what a grand harvest! :) GREAT JOB. From a Michigan Mama
I really enjoyed your video it was extremely detailed and informative thank you for sharing your zone and dates of planting l am zone 7a and we have similar frost dates or close by...your harvest was just stunning...what beautiful onions enjoy them in good health so bravo l hope to try this year...hope l get some good harvest this year ❤😂 and great tip on testing soil!
appreaciate this informational video. if you could. would you do an update video on how this onion variety made it this past 7 months. thank you in advance. i am going to have to follow to see what awesome stuff gets planted this spring. :)
I had full on given up on growing onions for next season because I can't get my onion game up to par. However, you have given us some good tips so I am going to give them a whirl next season. Thanks!
Hope this isn't to inappropriate..having a green thumb an beautiful smile and a gorgeous tight build ..makes you my fav . New subscriptions.. impressed by the onion grow..
I am your new subscriber thanks to this specific video. This was my first year trying to grow a dozen of onions from seedlings that I bought. I wanted to find out when is the right time to harvest them. I am saving this video for future reference. Next year, I will try to grow onions from seeds. I am in zone 5. So, the dates for me will be different from yours. Also, my choice of onions will be more limited due to my northerly location, where we have longer daylight than where you are. I plan to watch more of your existing videos and look forward to your future ones. Congratulations on your amazing 2023 onion harvest.
Such an inspiration, ty for sharing your knowledge, experiences & your amazing garden! Your videos are incredibly well done Bre
You had me until you shared that these are all hybrid.😔 don’t give up on the heirloom!🥰🥳🥰
Nice work! I prune some tops off (not tight to the bulb so they dry well) after harvest and dry them. I then powder them for winter use.
Thanks for sharing these tips.
Keep up the great work! 💖
