VIDEO: Harvesting Onions & How To Tell When They Are Ready To Be Harvested


We are picking some early onions today from the garden. They are
looking great and although they could be bigger i am not complaining! I
also get asked all the time when you can tell if the onion is ready to
be picked.

  1. I purchased your trifecta fertilizer. When I set up beds I did not have triifecta so I did bone meal, blood meal, lime, boron, epsom salt and chicken hummus,compost, perilite. My question is We have had so much rain, my butternut squash do not look dark green. We are expecting another week of rain so I took my trifecta and gave each plant a tablespoon. I noticed it says only once a year? Do you think I am over doing fertilizer? I have been using a liquid chicken fertilizer. My first raised garden with more than just a few plants. Live in Rainey EAst Texas.

  2. You're always a great home gardening resource, Luke! One question: How will I know when my overwintered onions are ready to harvest? Do they also follow this wilting-stem pattern, or not?

  3. Thank you! I have never heard anyone explain when to harvest your onions so easily! This was my first time planting onions! You explained it so simply and straight to the point it was easy to only harvest the ones that were ready! So glad I found your video!

  4. Ty so much buddy. First year for me and my first garden. The onions are growing outstanding and now I know their not quite ready yet. Straight forward and to the point.

  5. Why dont they grow big? I am asking cause mine are not. I will see if they are limp at the necks like you said tomorrow. One was pulled today some how and my so strong smelling…not sure why or if that is normal.

  6. That’s easier than I expected! A few months back I went to an oriental market, bought these what I though were regular green onions, went home cut off the root, stuck then outside in a flower pot, those bad boys grew into monsters, I wonder what kind they were, they are beautiful the stalk is thick and multi layers like a palm tree. Anyhoo, I get excited at new growing thank you for sharing knowledge
