Thank you for all the information. Really appreciate watching how you divided and planted the freshly uprooted onions. I thought I had to store them before replanting. Subscribed😎
If you're in Tucson and need more seed please come by the community food bank garden on Saturday from 6:30-9:30 I have tons and i'd be happy to give you some if you'd like. :)
@@SouthwestVictoryGardens oh cool!!! I would love to take you up on that . I'll look up the location of the community food bank garden and would probably get there around 9/ 915 ish .
I love my Walking Onions, shallots(currently Dutch Red) and Potato Onions. All of are quite a bit bigger than yours, but I'm not sure mine would grow down there.
I'm in southern New Mexico, Las Cruces, and am trying to adapt to desert life. Grew up in Midwest and this is different. Love your series and revel in your experience
@@SouthwestVictoryGardens Yeah. Its pretty rocky and lots of smaller gravel around Vegas, Henderson, searchlight. My boys and I are in a valley, right in the middle of two mountain ranges, about 70 miles southeast of Vegas. While its a bit dryer and windier here then Vegas, the soil is almost nothing but sold sand and silt. Of course, like almost any part of the Mojave, its also very alkaline.
we have them available locally year round, if you're in the US I can ship you some seed onions in the summer when they are available so check back then and let me know!
Super great video with easy to understand "how to"s about multiplying onions. I bought "multiplying onions" from my local feed and seed store and was not given much more info than "plant em in Oct/Nov and dig em up around May/June". I understood that mine were grown locally to me (zone8b, deep south MS) and the bulb end of mine are solid white with no reddish/purplish colorations. I wonder if the ones I have are off-shoots of the I'itois ??? As I understand it, quite a few of these multipliers are long ago heirlooms. Very interesting and thanks for this wonderful video.
Hi Brandon, I've been trying to propagate different succulents, what kind of soil should I use? Send me some onions and other veggies too,please! I love you mijo!
Chives will grow well from seed or from store bought plants, but try and plant them in the cooler months to get them established before the summer. October is usually a good time to plant chives, green bunching onion seed (Scallions), and Garlic
I like to listen to birds and wind, music is intrusive. Can you explain why alfalfa hay is better than straw? I know alfalfa has lots of nitrogen, Iadd pellets to my garden, but hay has seeds.
Hi Laurie! Fresh cut hay shouldn't have seeds, it's typically harvested before the alfalfa goes to flower so seeds should not be an issue. Straw on the other hand has lots of seeds because it is baled at the end of the season after the crops have gone to seed. Sorry about the music, I'm sure you'll find other videos out there that are less offensive. Happy Gardening!
@@SouthwestVictoryGardens, offensive? What do you mean? I simply mentioned I prefer the natural sounds around me to music when I am working outdoors. I don't know how you would think that was an expression of offense.

San Xavier Co-Op off of I-19, best mulch in the gulch!

Thanks this is helpful. Can I’itios be grown in containers?
Yes, absolutely! They do very well in containers
Can you provide options of where to get starts for these in Phoenix? Thanks for you amazing videos
@@KButleraz You can try crooked sky farms
Yup, I grow them in large diameter Mexican pottery. My wife loves them.

Great to see a video all about this special onion!

I bet they would do very well here in the high valley of the Mojave desert about 70 miles south of Vegas.
It's pretty hot up their in "the strip", but I bet these would do great.

They are very healthy say again where you get them to buy i would like to plant some
if you can come by the community food bank here in Tucson I can give you some.
Love how you called bermuda a 'seasonal weed'! I call that Weed From Hell. Thanks for all this info. I'll try to find these in ABQ NM.
Thankfully for us it stops growing vigorously for a few months in the winter
Hello- great video. Do you still have available quantities to sell? Would love to have it in the garden this year. Thanks in advance.
we have them available locally year round, if you're in the US I can ship you some seed onions in the summer when they are available so check back then and let me know!
I live in the south could get them in the mail

They might be, I'd be interested in finding out about other varieties of multiplier onions :)
@@SouthwestVictoryGardens Me too - thanks for your reply.
