Do not trim the onions until after the stems dry completely and then trim to 2 inches. I loved this year in review video. I look forward to your 2025 garden! In my garden I plant my onions with my tomatoes. The tomatoes serve as wind block. I grow the tomatoes on a cattle panel. My beds are 4ft wide and I get two rows of tomatoes and 4 rows of onions.
Question: Do you think the foliar feed had anything to do with the mold on the onions? Like the feed + the wind damage? Them getting soaked in the same spot that the mold is was what made me think of it. Just something to think about since it was also a new thing you did for your onions this year.
re: strawberries - why don't yoy get some greenstalks and plant strawberries in those? you can buy covers to go on them for frost/bugs, and it would give you a spare bed! xx
Your garden did amazing this year! I wish you many more successful seasons. ❤ It’s cold here too, so I’m snuggled up underneath my heated blanket watching your vlog. My favorite part of your season is the epiphany you had by using the loofas for your chicken laying boxes.
Congrats on a great gardening year! Can u plz put a list of the seed varieties that u loved this year? Love ur videos. They’ve helped me learn so much.
i'm pretty confident that you're right about the onions & frost fabric. if it hadn't flown off, they probably would have been fine. I planted my onions on St. Patrick's day weekend this year, and had no issues despite a couple nights down to -8ºC , but they were under a medium-weight fleece row-cover.
There are a ton of fruit trees that do well in containers! Peaches and apples are my first go-to for containers you can do fun espalier ones that can even go in ground along your fencing, they take up so little space. Our fave strawberry varieties are hoeneye and seascape!
I have no idea how my algorithm brought your channel across my feed, but man am I happy it did! I’m pretty green, if you will, with gardening. This was my 4th season & I need all the help, tips & tricks I can get!! I really appreciate this recap video, I have made notes & instantly followed your channel! 🥒🥕🌽🥬 Thank you!
Favorite ztrawberry is Eversweet!!!! it is an everbearing variety huge sweet strawv berries that hold up well after picking. i get berries June through the end of September on the same plant. Loved the year end review.
Maybe get a GreenStalk for your strawberries. Then you would have the strawberry bed free up and you can leave your perennial stuff. I love growing strawberries in my green stalks. I have 4 just for them.
Im looking to put my order in at hoss and southern seed exchange just to see how different they perform compared to what i used my first year of gardening ( this past year) cant wait to see the results this video came right on time for me
So organized!!!😃 You do help inspire my garden journey - Thank You💚 I think possiblely the rain had more to do with your onion mold issue - they grow fields and fields here in windy Idaho. I’d try a different variety resistant to mold & maybe an organic fungal powder or spray to sprinkle on if you have another rainy season - sprinkle on after they’ve dried from a rain storm to kill any spores that may grow mold later. 🤷🏻♀
Great recap of your garden year. I am going to try the single onion seedling per plug as I spent a lot of time untangling multiple starts per plug. For me in zone 5b WI my big successes were root crops ,hot peppers, and for the first time, melons. My green peppers did very poorly. My nemesis continues to be slugs .
I have enjoyed watching you and your garden this year. For dwarf fruit trees, you can grow them in large planters, there are many varieties of genetic dwarf fruit trees, ( I am in CA in zone 9B and find them available in my nurseries) A suggestion for your strawberries might be to try a couple of vertical planters, that would free up a bed for other garden crops.
A thought about the snacking peppers: are the orange peppers yellow before they turn orange? Do they turn red if you leave them on the plant long enough? Is it possible they are harvesting all three colors from the same plant, but at different stages of readiness?
Great video. I started keeping a garden journal, but fell off. I will definitely be more consistent next growing season. You talk about some of your favorite varieties, will you list them please?
Any type of netting will help with the onions. A freak storm wiped mine out in February. Cold temps and crazy winds and didn't have a way to protect them. One or the other and they would have been fine. A calculated risk that was incorrect planting that early. 7A in Virginia
I'm so glad you did this video Bre, I'm planning to filter out my hose too, we have hard water and I think it's the culprit why my soil ph is always high. May I know which filter do you use? Also, I grew my corn in raised bed as well but caged it, I got scared the squirrels & deers around us will graze on them, I found a 7ft netting cage at temu which is convertible to half of its size if needed, it also unintentionally helped my corn to catched most of the pollens & protected the plant in strong wind. I just thought it will work well with protecting your onions from the wind. I bought the Calibra variety for the next growing season, I had a success this fall for Belstar because of your recommendation, you are so inspiring & very helpful:)
Bre, love watching your videos! Thank you for this info! I live in Missouri and it great to see when you start your seeds! QUESTION: what seed starting mix do you use? I’m afraid of bringing in my outdoor mix because of the bugs in the soil🙂
Can you put your echinacea and yarrow in the front of your house or some of the other flowers at least keep a lot in the vegetable garden but some of the herbs in front of your house near the road if allowed
Check out the GreenStalk vertical planters for your strawberries! I grow Albion strawberries and love them….but I think they were bred for my area in Sacramento, CA…zone 9a/b.
Love your videos, I'm from all the way up at 63* North, Norway. Hungarian is Magyar in Hungarian. So when you say Hungarian Magyars it's like saying Hungarian Hungarian. Do you have a more accurate name for it? There are a lot of types of hot peppers from Hungary.

She let them dry for 4 weeks. They were crispy dry when she cut them back which is when she found all the mold.
Don’t the tomatoes shade the onions too much?
So awesome! Amazing job, thank you for the video! This should have 1m + likes

Glad you had a good year. I did too, here in Ohio. I still have peppers growing. In mid-November!
I absolutely love your channel and your garden! Can‘t wait for 2025! 🎉
My 2024 garden also was my best so far 🤩

Ok your most gorgeous cover photo to date. What a great season!
I have thoroughly enjoyed all of your videos and have learned so much! I'm also a Kansas gardener (NCK).

Congratulations, great video!
Please share the tomato 🍅 variety that you use they look so good. Thank you ❤❤
Love the recap. Big Question: Would be extremely helpful to know where you get your seeds? In particular Onions, Broccoli, Cantelope
You could try greenstalk (vertical gardening) for strawberries. I haven't tried it personally but I've heard others live it.

I’m also in CA zone 9B, what nurseries do you recommend getting fruit trees from?
I am in the San Jose area, Yamagami is a family owned nursery in Cupertino.
A thought about the snacking peppers: are the orange peppers yellow before they turn orange? Do they turn red if you leave them on the plant long enough? Is it possible they are harvesting all three colors from the same plant, but at different stages of readiness?
Great video.
I started keeping a garden journal, but fell off. I will definitely be more consistent next growing season. You talk about some of your favorite varieties, will you list them please?
Maybe a roll of green or black snow fence to use as a wind break? You could cut it to size easily and store it annually.

Can you make a hoop house over your onions with insect netting to block the wind??

How many cantaloupe plants did you have in 2024? Did you do much succession planting?
when is the best time to start the seeds in my house? i am so excited for next year i want to start now but is it way too early?
It depends on what the seeds are and where you live. It’s definitely too early to start anything now.
When did you start your snapdragons
Check out the GreenStalk vertical planters for your strawberries! I grow Albion strawberries and love them….but I think they were bred for my area in Sacramento, CA…zone 9a/b.
They usually have a great sale right before Mothers Day too!
Albion is my favorite tasting strawberry for fresh eating! Zone 9b CA central coast (FOG!)
Excited to try corn next year! What variety did you grow?
What hose filter do you use? Great video
What is the name of the Hibiscus you grew?
❤❤❤
Where did you get your snacking peppers seeds?
I actually saved my seeds from the ones I got from the store. I have no idea if they will sprout, but I'm willing to try next year. ❤
Love your videos, I'm from all the way up at 63* North, Norway.
Hungarian is Magyar in Hungarian. So when you say Hungarian Magyars it's like saying Hungarian Hungarian. Do you have a more accurate name for it? There are a lot of types of hot peppers from Hungary.
