I've never had luck, until this year. I saw a video where the man cut 50% of the green tops when they reached about 10 inches tall. He said by doing that the energy is directed to the bulbs. He came back and had a second cut the same way. Eat the top greens. Sooo I did this and I can say that my onions are actually growing and not wanting to bolt!!
I did that too but only once. Guess I need to go clip them again
Nice tip - thanks for sharing it!
I seen where a lady took n cut the tops, washed them n dried them then cut them in bite size pieces then placed them in a water bottle and put them in the freezer and when cooking just shook out what she needed. I did the same thing what a great way to preserve n use onions.
Thanks for the shoutout. Your onion harvest is beautiful. I will be making and canning more caramelized onion again from my recent harvest. Kindest Regards, Lady Cheryl ♥️
I’m headed over to your channel, right now, because I’d love to learn to caramelize and can onions!
Thanks @@NubianP6 ♥️
Even though my garden is tiny I learn so much from you and am improv every day. Thank you so much. Have a blessed day
It's my first year with onions in what I'm calling my trial and error garden still need to learn a ton, I'm grateful that you share your time and knowledge with your gardening experiences, and enjoy reading all the advice and suggestions from the Homestead Heart Family.
Me too. I haven’t gardening in years bc of caring for Mom. But, after she past I still didn’t. I got lazy. But this year, bc of my age, I’ve done bucket gardening. I just can’t dig in the earth anymore. But so far so good! But I don’t have onions like hers….but I got onions! Lol……I’m dehydrating them all. 😄✝️. Happy gardening AkitaLove….
@@cbass2755 congratulations and good for you. I'm also growing a bucket Garden. Haven't Garden in a long time. Everything's looking pretty good but I kind of got a late start on a bunch of it
Our red were slow to grow but got good size. But they didn't produce half as good as the yellow onions. We ring ours. Made a big difference. You have some nice onions in your harvest.
Are you talking about ringing the dirt?
@@jocummings2765 tes
Take your finger and remove some of the dirt from around the onion bulb
@Deep South Homestead I did ring them last year but I really wanted to see what would happen if I didn't. Now I have oblong onions😁 still tasty though.
GIIIRRRRRLLLL....U A H KNOW YALL MASTER GARDENERS.....ONE DAY...I MEAN MANNN,ONE DAY IMA BE AS GREAT AS U ARE
Good lord that's a blessing of a harvest! Your hard work! You rock it every single time!
The heat is getting to all our plants here in South Mississippi. I tell my kids. “ This is Gods garden he provided it for me.” Big or small bugs or not. I did ok on my onions but I planted in the ground and they are smaller. And I had trouble with weeds. Im going to try again in raised beds.
Biloxi Mississippi here our garden is struggling too no rain very hot.
@@magnoliahomesteadwithannie6300 I’m in Saucier too
@@shirleysunshine3319 I’m not to far north of Biloxi I’m in Saucier about 25 min North
Baldwin County AL and yep - its been so hot and dry
I've planted red onion " starts" from Tractor Supply a couple of years ago. I planted them in a galvanized 100 gallon water trough filled with my own year old compost. I didn't sift it first. They grew great as well as the yellows. They grew about your baseball sized. Which is the size I usually buy. I didn't add any fertilizer. The compst was made from hardwood leaves, pine needles, horse manure, and kitchen scraps mixed with our very sandy soil. I'm in South Central Texas, zone 8b an hour South of Austin.
Stay hydrated! 😎👍 ☕
Hello, neighbor ... I'm somewhere closely (near Seguin)
@@lauriivey7801 we are very close neighbors! I am too! Just south of Seguin. Nice to meet you!!🥰😇
@@lilblackduc7312 I'm living on Propel at the moment! I'm sweating so bad, that if I don't drink it I get cramps. 😎
@@cindyjohnson5242 and you!!
You are one hard working and amazing lady. My wife and I look forward to watching your canning videos when your garden starts coming in. Those are some beautiful onions. You should be very proud of them. Blessings 🙌
I just wanted to say "thank you" for sharing your journey. I got the courage to can through watching and learning from you. I live in central New York and organic gardening season is very SHORT. Now that I am retired, my husband and I are turning our yard into a garden and learning from great teachers, like yourself.
I freeze onions to use later if I feel they will go bad before I can use them up. I cut them in strips or dice them ..spread them out on a cookie sheet lined with parchment paper freeze for a few hours then put them in freezer zip lock bag's . I do this with pepper's too.
Why didn't I think of this!? Thank you for sharing!💗
The one who sent the carts, that's a true Angel ... not looking for praise, just doing something to help someone
You are blessed and a blessing.
Hollis and Nancy (the Black Kow king & queen) have a great video on growing onions in the south, and they get Huge onions. I'm in the north. I use cow manure compost, blood and bone meal, at planting. I fertalize at 30 days, and again at 45 days. That's it. They grow so easy in the north.
Onions look good to me. I can only pray mine are half that when I pull them. Always wonderful to see a video. God bless you and yours.
Mrs. H, it's skeeter season here in the deep South. Please grow some beauty berry to rub the leaves on your skin to repel the blood suckers. Dog fennel works, too. They grow wild with abandon. You can even eat the beauty berries!
Your onions look great to me. Non GMO and all natural👍🏼
So proud of you! Good job. Hard work always pays off.
I’ve been watching y’all for a long time and have just loved your RUclips channel. I had originally started watching it because of the canning, which I still do. But then, when I found out you guys had a lot of property and you were growing stuff well that just made it even more interesting. I live over here in Oregon in a Apartment, in fact a studio apartment. I’ve been here 12 years. I started growing veggies in pots. Tomatoes, zucchini, bell peppers and carrots. When the Covid hit I was told I couldn’t grow anything! Are you kidding me. Didn’t make sense to me when they were letting people grow flowers in pots. The fear that was put into people over this stuff is ridiculous. Whoever sent you those wagons that was awesome. If I had a big garden I would be using a wagon just like it. Blessings to you and your husband and thank you for sharing your knowledge in your pressure canning and with your gardening you have a blessed weekend and a great week moving forward.🙏🏼♥️
I hope this new way works out for you. Keep us updated. Learning so much from you.
Gnats...I flagged on the highways for sometime, and found putting a dryer sheet in my hard hat helped them from getting in my face.. Just tuck one in your head scarf close to your face, after you rub it on your scarf and shirt...the little buggers!!!
That's so generous of folks to send you your little cart wagons. You deserve such a nice gift, God bless them that sent it and your family as well. I love mine, for garden and hauling firewood.
I love your little black cat, company during your busy day
I planted onions in a container this year first time. So far they're still alive. A couple had dies, but the rest are going strong.
I tried the same thing this year. We shall see!
I have one of those carts & I use it everyday, for everything! I’ve had mine about 10 years , I only had to replace the tires , but other than that , it’s great ! ♥️
That was quite a gift. I have one and it relieved me from trying to get the wheel barrow around. It is probably one of the most useful thing on the farm
Your onion harvest is beautiful, I never had good luck with growing onions, I'm going to try it again this year. Thank you for sharing I love your videos, peace and love to you and your family 💜
Seeing those long onion gardens helps me envision how to have hope of growing something close to enough onions for our family.
Thank you for sharing your harvest, I took my first harvest of garlic up today and I am so proud of myself they turned out great
Congratulations on your garlic! I planted cloves that sprouted in my pantry. All but one died. We just ate that one a couple weeks ago. Yummy! But very small.
You’re videos are just getting better and better! ♥️
Wow...nice crop... love onions and good for my heart 💜 Waynesville NC 🇺🇸 Veteran
Peace and Love 💘💕
HAPPY Father's DAY ENJOY your DAY
Wow great harvest
The garden carts are a blessing. That is a wonderful useful gift. I kept seeing a commercial on facebook about a cart like that. I paid for it and they never sent it, I was scammed. I was so upset. I know you probably use it everyday.
Beautiful onions girl you guys got it!! Not large but perfect
I’m quite impressed by your channel and farming skills. I found you through your brother in law. He’s funny. We started growing food too but nothing on your scale. Somehow, we have oats growing in our garden. We didn’t plant them and neither did anyone around us. I don’t think I live in the nest climate for oats. Lol. I want to be a poor-gardener like you but I’m terrified of snakes. My husband and sons do it all. I love it though. Beautiful garden and blessings to you and your family.
I agree that your yellow onions look to be the perfect size. Your onions are goals for my little garden. ❤️
Your onions are beautiful! You must be doing something right.😊
Sorry you are having a difficult season. Just had to tell you today I canned for the very first time. I canned ground turkey in my Presto canner. Thank you for your guidance through your videos. 83 and still learning!!!
Mrs. H, your onions are lookin' good! This is my first year planting starts from Dixondale Farms. Red candy and a yellow and a white. The reds are done and bulbed very well, most of the yellows are done and the whites are still going. Most are large! All indeterminate. Not for long storage. I followed the instructions from Dixondale. Garlic was so-so. I so appreciate your kindness and knowledge. God bless.
Great job! i just brought in my onions and garlic this week. White onions did OK, but the red ones only so,so. Garlic is way more than I'm going to use, but I'm sure I will find someone that needs it, plus save some to plant next year. God bless y'all and keep on growing. P.S. I think the best onions I have grown here in TN, red or white, were when I grew the "Candy" onions and will go back to them next year, I just tried something different this year to see what I would get.
Cousin, our onions and garlic this season was sprase. I know the weather played a major role in this. We've got a lot to make up for. It does my heart good to see y'all abundance. Great growing 😊
HELLO MY FRIEND 👋❣️ HOW ARE YOU DOING TODAY ⁉️ GLAD TO SEE YOU GUYS ⁉️👏👏👏🙏❣️ WHAT A BLESSING TO WATCH YOU IN YOUR GARDEN ☺️❣️ LOVE IT 💕🙏🙏🙏💕 THANKS FOR ALL OF YOUR TIME 💕🙏🥰
Great job.
Good Harvest 🌅
You have made me hungry.😘 Be careful in the heat and try to stay cool. Blessings ✌🏾💕🙏🏾
Your onions look awesome. God bless you and your family ❤️
Peace and blessings to Homestead Heart 💜❤️
Great haul! IMHO. Love the little board planting method.
Those carts are so great! I use them for everything but mainly hauling water to chickens, chukar birds and quail!
These onions look great!!
I cannot tell ya why your red onion ain't getting as big. But, I can tell any of ya growing onions at home, you'll never want another store bought onion after eating one you grew yourself. They take on the characteristics of your soil and taste amazing! Thank you, Mrs. H, for sharing and God Bless you both.
I grow onions because ithat works where I am. I have a french onion soup recipe down to memory now!🥣
Your onions look great. Thanks for sharing.
Homemade onion powder....YUM!!!
Oh my goodness! Knowing that someone sect you a blessing w/o letting you know who they were made my eyes water! I know there is a verse in the Bible that says to do things w/o letting people know! So I love that someone did that. Blessings!
Never had any luck with red either. We need intermediate onions here in Missouri. Your idea on nitrogen is perfect. I raise candy onions the size of softballs doing that very thing!
Grew my first onions this year and plan to grow more. I keep them chopped and frozen for quick access use during the winter when my time is limited. I cut up the onions and put each in a separate sandwich bag then put multiple bags in a freezer bag to keep them protected. Spring and summer I use fresh.
That’s so awesome! Sweet to send you the carts❤️. I have a Gorilla dump cart. Couldn’t function without it.
I love your introduction song and I know just how much time I have to get back in front of the screen to see your video 😊
Great content!
Living in Georgia I am surprised you aren’t growing Vidalia onions. They are great microwaved in a bowl with a little water in the bottom and chicken bouillon in a scooped out hollow in top of onion. Oh yummy!
Beautiful onions. Birds stole all! My onions bulbs & all grrrr lol
That is a great harvest Mrs. H! Funny you said not enough onions, I was thinking the same thing about myself the other day, LOL. I tried just a few red onions this year and they all turned out small like green onions, but the yellows did fine. I’m growing from seed this year. While we put them out in October every year, I’m going to start a group from seed and plant in September and see if that makes a difference.
I was just thinking that I'm going to try from seed this year too. No matter who I buy the bulbs from, they're not getting big. Their just ok. I'm grateful, but I'd like to try everything by my own hand so I can know for sure why they don't get big.
@@Shortcake39553 I used to plant bulbs, & they were always small. I now plant onion sets. The bundle of small onions that look 1/2 dead 😉. Having much better luck & usually get a decent crop
Please remember to post your results next year when they mature.
That is a really nice harvest of onions and I understand how you can run out of onions because I love onions as well.
So beautiful! I bet the flavor is amazing!
Great harvest...Happy Father's day Mr. H
Mr. Cliff at Castle Hill Garden has some excellent videos on stringing up his onions. Not braiding... the onion blades are trimmed to about 6 inches and they are placed into 4 strings hung from a nail. Easy and super neat. I have used his way for years. Makes it so easy to hang them and get good airflow, preventing rotting. Looks like how its done in Italy.
Thanks, I went over to the channel and watched (and subscribed). Good video!
You should be proud beautiful harvest👍🏽
They turned out beautiful.
Thank you .. . .more ammunition for me! My red clay still needs work.....that makes sense that the beautiful onion bulbs NEED room to grow round!
I like onions that size not too big not too small 👍😊just perfect 🥰💖💖
Thank you for sharing how you plant your onions. 511 is awesome!
We’re glad that we found your channel! Your videos are awesome. You have a lot of creative ideas and we want to share them with our customers. We sell land close to rural areas. And we’re always on the lookout for channels like yours where we can send our customers to get awesome ideas for their own homesteading journey.
I think that is wonderful. Your sending them to the right place for sure to get ideas on how to live off your land. Plant gardens, raise chickens, canning and so much more.
Hello guys I hope you guys used the hugelkulter system, with all the branches and tree limbs you have been cutting down.
I had the best luck ever growing white, yellow & red onion 's this year I planted bulbs 1/2 inch deep on March 17th then covered with about 4 inches of straw . I sprinkled 13 13 13 fertilizer.. after they started bulbing I watered them every day . We harvesting them now. We are located in central Missouri.
I was about to say they look big enough to me🤗
Yeah, the nitrogen will do it. The number of your leaves equates to the onion layers that the bulb will contain. As you know, it does this way early before bulb set. A lot of leaves? Gonna be a big onion provided the conditions, food and day lengths are timed appropriate for the variety you're growing.
Sandy conditions are best, but if you have heavier soils, gently loosen the soil around the bulb during bulb setting to encourage it to expand rather than condense tighter.
Last winter one large white one grew on my compost. I went out to add more fruit & veggies scraps we collected and saw log green stems. I pulled them out. Bam one big white onion. Maybe put lots veggie scrapes under you soil. Compost in place. Later i learned that from Robbie bd Gary's RUclips Channel!
Hello, hello, hello. So glad to see you two ☺️.
Omg what a huge bounty of beautiful onions.
Also, all these onions regardless of color or size make one heck of a French onion soup!!!
I live in the mile high New Mexican desert. Our onions are always small, even with sand we have been trying to make into dirt every year. Our reds are tiny, the others are medium small. Last year we left harvesting way too late and we couldn’t find them. This year the ones that escaped harvest last year tried to flower, but I nipped off the flower and the bulbs developed into the size of yellow onions. Our reds now are medium small. I may try to do that same method next year, leave the small ones behind and remove the flower stalk next year.
Thanks for the information
I grow purple onions and they are big. We live in south texas and my trick is 1 part mushroom dirt 1 part hog manure Mix the 2 together and put it 2” thick down the row and tiller it. Then plant onions. My hog manure is a year old before I use it. Makes for big onions. especially purple
Fine red onions perfect size nice harvest
I wish these folks were my neighbors
Yes cutting the top off and ringing them and doing the fish fertilizer should do the job. And use the tops to make pesto with. Good luck
My first year doing onions, so I don't have any tips for you. But that is a nice crop of onions.
i plant my red onions in big pots and buckets Never had any luck planting them in the garden beds. 🙏❤️
Your onions look great. I hope my onions grow that good.
my onions so close together- in clay soil-Now I know !! thank you for sharing this!
I would be very happy to have my onions grow as large as yours, mine just don't get big. However, they are mine and no matter the size I'm thrilled! We also never grow enough. It seems that the more I grow the more we use ! lol I love your videos.
I just moved to Florida from Michigan in November of 2021. I garden in collapsibled us felt bags. I Rv full time and space is of the essence. I planted yellow onion’s for the first time and from what I can tell are doing fine. The tops I have cut off and use like green onions. I plan on dehydrating some before they dry. Will keep you posted as they come along and so sorry I have no tips (as of yet) to offer. God Bless
I'm learning alot with your videos. Thank you god bless
I am outside of Chattanooga. I usually don't get good size onions. This year, I put bulbs in the ground in November and I didn't fertilize, or water, or anything. I pretty much neglected them the whole time they have been in the ground. Low and behold, they are still kicking in the ground, and they are the absolute biggest onions I have EVER grown. I can't figure it out, but I sure wish I could. The red onions are the biggest of all three, and normally they don't get big for me at all.
THANK YOU!!!
I really like the rolling of the board. Smart. I'm going to have to make some of those up. Beats a tape measure.
I wonder if to get more substantial red onions you might need to adjust the soil profile where you plant them. Comparatively they have a higher mineral content than other onions. Red onion has folate, thiamine, calcium, magnesium, potassium, and manganese, so perhaps remineralizing that soil could be the difference❤️🙏🏼🇺🇸 Good Luck!
That sounds like a great idea. Do you have any ideas on how to get the necessary minerals into the soil? Not many fertilizers have minerals or they don't let them on the packaging. Thanks for sharing
@@Shortcake39553 check out The Mitleider Method. They sell minerals.
@@Shortcake39553 possibilities could be Glacial Rock Dust or Azomite, different but both remineralize. Epsom salts for the magnesium can help, baked and powdered eggs shells are great for calcium, and even adding banana peels (I put mine in a blender) will add potassium.
@@cindyjohnson5242 Thanks for the advice
@@lunayahwitch wow, ok thanks
