      I failed to grow onions for 2 years. Felt like an onion murderer. This year magically, all methods worked. I just wish I had planted more. My secret? Start zero indoors. They did much better direct seeded way before I planted anything else. Both seeds and starts.

      If you are asking about the seedlings, 4-6 hours of early morning sunlight will work. Only if night temperatures drop below 40-45F, bring them inside at night, otherwise they will be ok. Happy growing and thank you for visiting!

      I will try to do a video on sweet potatoes too. If you mean 15 gallon grow bags, plants slips 8"to10" apart, so about 5-6 slips per 15 gallon bag. Wider spacing will produce larger potatoes. happy growing and thank you for visiting.

    Is it normal for the onions to be flopping over before they've bulbed? I'm wondering if its the wind or something

    • @TowardGarden
      @TowardGarden  11 месяцев назад +1

      For seedlings and newly transplanted plants that is normal since they don't have the strength yet. But for mature ones, there can be many reasons for top leaves to drop early. One of them is wind. Strong winds can cause tops to become weak and fall over. The other reasons are mainly due to fungal or pest disease. Also overwatering can be another cause for them to flop over. If you don't notice any major problem with leaves and the plants, then it is definitely the wind. Protecting them from strong winds and providing some support will help them grow normal. hope this helps and thank you for visiting!

    Once cured where do you keep stored in Florida?

    • @TowardGarden
      @TowardGarden  10 месяцев назад

      I am not sure how the weather is in your area in Florida, but general rule is to store them in a cool and dry area. Use onion bags or shallow boxes and place them in a well ventilated place such as cellar, pantry, or even a garage (away from direct sunlight and with 65-70% humidity). If it is too humid, place Silica Gel moisture absorber packs around them. Hope this helps and thank you for visiting!

      It is better to keep them while drying. If you cut them before bulbs are cured, bacteria and fungi will reach to bulbs and lead to bulb rots. It basically helps to store them longer. Hope this helps and thank you for visiting!
