Thanks for the great info. Will try some Redwings for next year.
I grew red onions this year in my raised beds. I also did them in bunches and they all grew beautifully.
So nice
Yay. A video where you talk about gardening instead of ranting against the Canadian government, 5G, or the stupid liberals. How refreshing!
I live in the hills of Santa Cruz….Is it to late to start onions?
what is interesting is all the news about onions being responsible to salmonella, this year …you said you were planting onions I decided to plant them too, thank God we have worry free onions!
What variety are these? Sorry, mau have missed it. My onion crop the last couple years has been pathetic! Also, could not get red onion this year at ALL! Sold out everywhere!
Thank you, Curtis. Loved this video. Loved the braiding. and The root cellar at I think U said 10C. hmm still learning.
We have had great luck with copra onions
With Covid and cooking full meals for my family of 10 we use almost 4 onions a day 😉
How can you tell when they’re cured?
I use the green tige to
I cut it small piece for salad, I put some in dehydrated and I put some in ziploc and freeze it
During winter it will go in soup
A family of three, we could easily cook up one onion a day, if you consider preserving salsa and making stock and such. Plus red onion pickle, OMG. I think I could personally eat one onion all by myself every day.
Great Video
Haha.. I just came into my house for a cuppa after sowing a new tray of onion seeds and I see this. I like to have onions in my garden year round. Given onions are daylength sensitive there are friends closer to the equator who are not able to grow onion bulbs and make do with just long onions. Just as good in my opinion. I agree on the space advantages in growing them, as well as the ease of having plenty of them for fresh eating and/or storage. I'm lucky enough to be able to grow both storage onions and spring onions with little effort and the weather here allows me to have spring onions all year round. I have a few spots I like to transfer or plant a selected type in to in order to save seeds too, meaning I can also easily collect plenty of fresh seeds from their abundant and beautiful round flower heads, which the bees love, for new crops for the next few years and also delicious onion sprouts. Yum.
Btw, you have a beautiful garden and a beautiful family.
How do you keep weeds out of those onions? I have so many weeds with mine.
When I search online for red wing onion seed I see a variety of options; hybrid non gmo, F1, etc which one do I want? Do you sell these seeds and if so can you post a link? Or a link to where you buy them? Thanks
There are lots of fruits/veggies that will store for a year. There is an apple tree that if the apples are stored correctly on the homestead will last one year before degrading. Many root crops can be stored in the ground over winter.
What planet has 56 weeks in a year ? Is he gardening on Mars ?
2 onion
s a week?? 12 comes closer
Luke from MIGardener mentioned you in one of his videos and I'm so glad he did. My husband and I have been considering homesteading and I like your approach.
I have onions still trying to grow. It just snowed, i brought in the container they are growing inside. Now, that the weather has turned to 40 f highs, should i try to havd them finish growing inside under a grow light?
Hi Curtis/ fellow backyard gardeners. I have a question. I tryed two times sowing onions and all end up with no to very small bulbs. What did I do wrong? Any help will be appreciated. Btw I live in Toronto.
2:22 in a Slavic part of Europe, we would eat that whole bed in a week;) anyways, great content Curtis,love ur videos
Thank you for keeping these videos available.
There are 52 weeks in a year
I think you said 56 twice
I don't know a lot about growing onions, so I found this video informative. Especially your approach for using the "clumping" method. As you described, your approach is to remove the largest onions from each clump to free up room for the rest of the clump to bulb out. My limited understanding for harvesting onions (for best storage) is to harvest the bulbs when the leaves fall over and start drying out. With the clumping method, you recommend removing bulbs before the tops fall over. Doesn't this affect the long-term storage of the bulbs that you harvest early?
And thanks for posting. Cheers.
