Near the end Laura wants to show us the topiaries and apologizes because she’s showing us one more thing! 😂 Does she even know us? We are all dying for the camera to pan all over the greenhouse, and have a peek at the projects that we have watched her do! So excited for the new gardening season!
I was actually trying to figure out what those plants were before she showed us.
Love her videos
❤
Good morning all!
Good morning!
I always love when Laura says, “we’ll be heading down to the garden center”! ROAD TRIP! ❤❤😂😂
Every single season, I look at the teeny tiny seeds and am awed by what they grow into - nature IS simply amazing!
We are supposed to have our first 40° day in Minnesota today! (Last week barely made it above zero!) All the snow will be melting and added a lot of moisture to the soil. One day closer to playing in the garden!♡
Mpls. Suburb here. Just remember it’s only February! There’s lots of winter weather yet. But it’s been a great reprieve. December really did me in.
@@bridgeth7961 here in mid Ohio we has one sub zero week ... that killed me.
Sat in the sunshine for 10 minutes. It was lovely! Sunshine-starved. Bloomington; MN. 💕Jennifer
Mpls suburbs: yeah, this has been a tough one! Taking vitamin d, but I need to be out in the sun!
MI also melted, long walk and saw robins eating crabapples!
I am also amazed by nature. I have noticed that we as gardeners often forget that what we’re doing isn’t just an art-form, it’s science too, and I think that’s pretty neat.
Your enthusiasm is so contagious ! ❤❤❤ Love it !
OK, onion planting time. I will do it this weekend. But I planted shallot bulbs in the ground in the fall around the time I planted my garlic, the variety I grow will form multiple bulbs around the bulb i planted, and when ready to harvest, they literally push themselves out of the ground. I love Shallots. I have learned so much from you on growing my own food, and I'm not a beginner. Thank you!
Would you please give the shallot variety name? They sound right up my alley! Thanks!
Variety? I’m interested
My shallots are Yellow Moon.
Nature is amazing in every way. The world of Flowers, the world of trees, the world of gemstones, such different terrain, on and on. It points to how beautiful and amazing the CREATOR is.
I live for these onion starting videos. And garlic planting. I just love having them in real time to make sure we’re on track.
So excited seed starting season is here! You're weather is about two weeks ahead of mine. I'm trying so hard this year to not start everything too early especially the veges. But I'm ready to go!
Im subscribed, love your videos
I usually start too early as well, then they're too big when the weather finally changes.
Im here for it!
Lol I’m the same. I keep jumping the gun because Laura is showing it so I think I should do it and she and I aren’t in the same zones and don’t have the same infrastructure 😂
Me too. I'm chomping at the bit!!
Thanks Laura!🤗💞🤗
Greetings, Laura, from Windermere, Florida zone 9b USA 🇺🇸 🧅🇺🇸
We look for Vidalia onions at the grocery store because they are so mild. But I do grow Walla Walla onions 🌰
We are enjoying a beautiful day ahead 🌞 80° Happy Gardening Everyone 👩🌾👍
Thanks for another informative video.....From Walla Walla...yes love our onions 😁
This puts my Spring Fever into serious overdrive!
Beautiful content as usual!
Blessings from 7a, NE Georgia! First year doing raised beds this year and I am itching with getting food production. Just purchased 2 apple trees, a pear tree, apricot tree and a few more edibles 😁😁
Ambitious! Happy gardening! I hope you have a great growing season this year.
@@cynthiarafferty7662 Ambitious for sure! While I love the beauty of my gardens I'd like to see more purpose/function. With the trend of life and littles our family has always thought about self reliance, so more food production is the goals for 2023 garden and on.
It’s interesting that we’re in the same 7a zone and I’m in NJ.
I grew Walla Walla onions for the first time last year because of you Laura and they are now one of my favourite varieties! I have always preferred red onions so that says something about how good Walla Walla's are
Thanks , Laura! You've inspired me to go to the garden center and look at seeds!
Oh yeah love lots of onions. God Bless.
I really appreciated the #shorts you made on the ranunculus. That would be a great way to quickly update us on one planting at a time.
Great video. You inspire us to get started planting. Have a blessed day
Thanks!
Laura I love all your videos, I watch them over and over! Your so gifted and talented ! ❤🎉
Amazing video Laura!! I’m so fascinated to see your growth and your amazing garden! I absolutely love what you do!! Your amazing Laura!! You have inspired a lot of people including me and I’m only 16!And I’ve being gardening since I saw your planting bulbs in December video!! And now I teach others how to grow their own food on my channel Ultimate Gardening! Keep yo the great work and never stop!💚
That’s so great that you’ve started gardening at 16! I hope you consider gardening or horticulture as a career🌱🌼
@@angelaengler2387 I most definitely am! My dream is to own my own Nursery or become a plant breeder!😊🧑🏽🌾
So appreciate the update on the topiaries and ranunculus! Can't wait to get my onions started.
Nature really is amazing! Love the promise of beauty in every seed.❤️
Thank you for reminding us of those air pockets. Loved watching.
You're such a wonderful resource of information blended with first hand experience. Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge!
So helpful!! I gotta try to grow some!! As I think I’ve mastered French onion soup that both of my boys actually love ❣️
I love the trim the floppy onion growth! Thank you so much for the trick!❤❤❤❤❤
Hi, sissy!🥰 Green onions are my favorite onion to cook with.👍🏾💯
“Nature is amazing and that’s why we garden” - Laura
I learned so much about onions today 🧅!! That’s what’s so great about GA - learning things we never imagined.
I’ve recently moved and my patio faces north, so no direct sunlight 😔 Gonna miss not planting veggies this year.
Enjoy your day GA community! 🌞
Oh you are going to love those Zebrune shallots! I grew them last year, very pretty braided storing great and so sweet.
Good morning! 🌻🐝
Thank you for going step by step for this new gardener 😊
Good morning Laura and Aaron!! Hugs from N.C..❤️
I'm so excited to see how the shallots turn out for you. I grew onions from seed for the very first time last year (inspired by you) and they turned out great. Now I want to try shallots. But will use up the onion seeds I have first.
Looove when you seed!!! Thank you Laura!!!🥰😘
Merci beaucoup Laura, I love your video you are my sunshine!
Very inspiring video! Thanks Laura.
I grew Walla Walla onions last year. I was giving some away. This year I am going to dehydrate some and freeze some. I don’t have any place to store them except my fridge
Hello Denise how are you doing,
where are you from?
You said it! “Nature is amazing, that’s why we garden!”❤
Hi Laura! Thanks for sharing!
Good morning 🌱☕
I have been growing shallots from seed for several years now. Johnny's has great selection of different varieties. So far Matador and Conservador have stored the longest for me. I store them in the basement and last summer I ate the last one from the year before on the same day I harvested my first batch of new season!
Thanks for sharing
Seeing so many onions brings a tear to my eye! 😁😁
😂😂😂
good morning!🥀
The flavor of home grown shallots is unbeatable.
Hi Laura’s, I ordered some of the geraniums from swallow tail nursery, the maverick scarlet. They have all germinated in 5 days and are standing up about an inch with 2 leaves. Thanks for the tip, I am anxious to have them in the spring. We are in Michigan, so it is nice to see a little life growing. I really enjoy your videos.
So informative!!! Thank you
YES! The season kick off!
Harvest time will be awesome!
Hello Wanda how are you doing,
where are you from?
Laura, thanks for the great video! Shallot is an amazing plant😘💛💙
Good morning, Laura ☕️ I too love onions and I have never planted any 🤷♀️ Perhaps I’ll try winter sowing now here in Boston, zone 6. Have a Blessed Day 😊🐈
Good morning from Maryland. Going up to 60 degrees today 🌞
Isn’t Nature amazing? That’s why we garden, right? Right! 😚😚😚
Hey Laura. Do have any tips or videos on grapevine pruning for the winter? Love your videos, found them after I took over my family home and my grandmother’s garden thank you for helping me find my new passion 🫶🏽
I was glad when I saw those topiaries in the background that you provided an update on them. They are very cool.
Those onions look amazing! We love onions! I didn’t realize they could be grown from seed!
Ready to start mine too. A exciting time to get ready for the garden. Thanks Laura.
I've grown the Zerbrune shallots for several years. Love cooking with them. Fine flavor and they store pretty well.
I started my onion seeds a few days ago. Very exciting stuff! I'm hoping for a better crop this year.
Perfect timing. I am starting my green onions today. Thank you Laura.
Can’t wait to grow onions.
Thank you so very much for this video. You answered so many of my questions regarding starting onion 🧅 seeds. I’m looking forward to the follow up video where you plant them. 😊
Do try the red onions in cooking, especially raw foods like salads both leaf and cabbage salads. I've seen chopped onions rinsed in cooking shows, to cut the flavor. I JUST PAID 2$ PER 1 single RED ONION AT SAFEWAY. I'm growing onions this garden year!.
Wow beautiful video🌹🌹
I got some shallot sets from Andrews two years ago and plant them at the same time as my garlic. Haven’t tried the seed but I guess that’s a new thing to try. Shallots are a great cross between onion and garlic in cooking.
I never have success with planting onion bulbs- I am totally going to do seeds this year! Thanks Laura for the info!
Hi Laura and Aaron! I love your channel and it is so full of information. I am starting my seeds and was wondering if you could go over watering? How do you know when a cell is to dry or wet? I have one cell that is dry on top but seems moist underneath the surface? Using the self watering trays from Gardeners supply is great…but I am afraid that my seedlings would dampen off when the surface stays wet. Any helpful tips would be awesome!! Thanks again for inspiring us everyday!!
Good Morning! 🌞 I remember the Wall of Seeds! Anxious to watch the growing process of the onions! 🙂🧅🌿
Who else wants Laura to share her meal plan ❤?!
I’ll be starting mine tday! Thanks for the video!
What a timely video, thanks for the refresher. I plan on starting my onions today , probably one flat 😊. Zone 6
Great job Laura xx
That’s a whole lot of onions , awesome 🌸
My local garden center has a chart of when to plant, start indoors or direct seed, when to transplant outside, row spacing, and plant spacing for our zone for just about any veggie/herb you can imagine planting. I refer to this chart all throughout the seed starting season.
ou are very lucky. Im going to look for that info when I go to the garden center
Last year I attempted growing onions for the first time from seed. I had great success with germination and was so proud of all my healthy little starts with lots of beautiful roots. However, the plants put on very little growth and the bulb part never got bigger than about an inch or 2 in diameter. They were planted in Espoma raised bed mix near my peppers, tomatoes, and beans, which were fertilized (with garden tone) and watered the same amount and did amazing. Where did I go wrong? Do they need more fertilizer and or water than my other veggies? I chose a long day variety which is appropriate for my latitude. Thank you for sharing so much of your knowledge and experience with us. I am the passionate gardener that I am today largely thanks to you. 💕
First time for big onions!! Now I need to find shallots!!!
Now you’re in my wheelhouse. You may remember me saying I grew up near where you are. On a farm outside Nyssa. We grew yellow sweet Spanish onions 🧅 and russet potatoes (some red potatoes, too) my dad was president of Oregon onion growers association years ago. I am an onion snob and hate having to buy onions and potatoes in the grocery stores. I was somewhat instrumental getting a grocery store in Boise to buy more local onions, telling off their produce manager for buying Mexican grown onions - when the best onions in the country were grown 50 miles from them. So if growing your own is possible, I highly recommend it! 💚💚💚
I applaud you in SO many ways. I'm fortunate to live in an area where all of the grocery stores support our growers from veggies to orchards. But I'm sure that is likely because of someone like you who stepped up and used their voice in support of all things local, so thank you!
Kudos to you don't even realize people order produce from far away instead of going local. Go you
You’re right! The ball has started rolling. I’m in SW Ontario and just spotted our daffodils coming up from the ground yesterday. Today we are getting hit with lots of rain and it’s 11C which is crazy high for this time of year.
Am I the only one, but when Laura got blindsided by the shallots I said to myself she’s going to forget the vermiculite, lol. Love the video just wish I could have called and said “don’t forget the vermiculite.🤣 . Thanks for all your help and advice, I think I may try to grow some shallots this year.
Have you ever tried starting the onion seeds in an open flat kind of like sprouts? I start them in open flats, trim them back once , then prick them out and pot them up. It saves a lot of seed starting room. I have even left them close together in the float and them planted them out from there but found they get a bigger if they are potted up first. Also, you had a lot of seed left over. Do you get good germination if you save them for a second year?
I think I might try shallots this year too!
Good morning Laura and family .
I'm not a seed person I tried it once to me its a slow process nope not for me, I do love watching you, planting your seeds.
Thank you for sharing, have a great rest of the day 👋🙂🧅
Hello Jean how are you doing,
where are you from?
Great video! A lot of work done that will pay off this spring!
great video... i'm just now starting to really pay attention to varieties: i usually buy starts but they are so generically marked most of the time, i don't know what variety i'm getting... and there can be a big difference in taste, fer sure! i've not had much luck with seeds, but that seems to be the next step for me!! i'm always learning from you!! and i love that!! 🥰❤thanks for the video!! 🥰❤
This is getting me SO EXCITED for the growing season! I tried growing onions from sets for the first time last year, and unfortunately all my onions had little worms that I think are onion maggots. Does anyone have tips for managing this? I’ve seen some recommend keeping them covered with insect netting?
Well done Laura 🌺. I love it . Have anice day 🌺🌻🌺
Hi Laura! I'm sorry if I missed it, but may I ask what topped your onion seeds with??
You answered my question...it's vermiculite, Do you recommend that for all seeds?
you always inspire me Laura.. following ur schedule though i live in germany
Yummy onion fantastic. Topiaries look great and the ranunculus look so cute. Thank you so very much for sharing this with us.🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦
🎉🎉🎉seed starting time🎉🎉🎉I still have to wait a few weeks to start. Does the soul good starting the day this way with you😊
Good morning Laura Monica Laura's dad I enjoyed onions
Right when I think Laura does everything and she is such a busy bee…she drops the bomb on me and says she cooks dinner every night….?!? Ummmm I can’t even do three nights a week 😂😭 is there anything you can’t or don’t do?! ❤️
Hi Laura! can you explain what makes you choose to use a smaller cell when starting seeds as opposed to the ones that you get from Gardner Supply? I think the GS cells are 3x3"). Thank you, love your work!
Always love to see you planting ONIONS!!! Now......................we need some recipes so we can reap our rewards! mmm!
She shared some exiles from half baked harvest and I just pulled a bunch of recipes from her website last night!
@@amysgardenstead2879 I have all of those and the ones from Averie Cooks. I have a cookbook of all the recipes Laura and her Mom cook. Thanks for helping. Happy Valenine's Day.
Raw shallots through mashed potatoes with salt & butter. .. delicious
I was just getting ready to type out a comment asking how onion are grown and there you go answering it before I can post! 😂 Thanks as always for a fun and informative video!
