VIDEO: How to Grow This Amazing Crop For FREE Every Year!
We grow a crop of green onions every year and it’s totally free because we let them self seed. In this episode, I will show you how we keep them contained, healthy, and producing. 
I planted some green onions in the beginning of the year. im glad i just left them, i hope to get more and more onions!!!
THANKS LUKE‼️I LOVE your channel❗️You guys may think I’m a strange hippy gardener, but I harvest the Dandelions as they come up in my garden. Yes, they’re heavy feeders with a long root searching for nutrients deep in the soil, however, this makes them an extremely nutritious green. Some call Dandelion a superfood & it’s said to be more nutritious than kale or spinach, yet requires little to NO CARE. With recent drought in New England I never once had to water Dandelions. If you don’t like it raw in salad, it can be dehydrated on a low temp to maintain enzymes & keep it a living food, then store leaves for winter soup OR ground into green powder & added to soup broth or smoothies for added nutrition. Sorry for the rant.
Obviously, you do not pick first year… and/or second year if you want seed. So then do you harvest third year only…?
Been pulling up those 'baby's' for years thinking they were weeds… DOH!
It's alright, hope you didn't put the government nanochip in your body falsely named faxxine
Pawesome! I have some out there going dormant 🙂
Always caught off guard by y'all's vegetable prices in the north and Canada. In any case, green onions are such an easy crop to grow. Very much worth it to have a small patch of them.
So, do they die during frost?
Or are there precautions that you have to take?
Very interesting! I’d love to try it!
Love them and chives too
I'd also put cilantro in this category. Let a few flower and you'll have Cilantro from May to December every year.
Thank you Mr. and Mrs. MIG.
So cool!!! Anything to make the garden more productive and less labor intensive is a win in my book!
Thanks I love your videos keep up the great work your awesome thanks for your help I did not know that about green onions
I love green onions! Great to know they grow like this!
I hope my green onions last through the Canadian winter! I love having a constant source of fresh green onion.
Wow in Canada that package of green onions would darn neer 5 bucks
I didn't even buy my first round of green onion seed – I planted the chopped off root ends from a bunch we bought from the store and ate, and they all grew huge and went to seed the next spring.
I have a patch with 6-10 onion plants that I never planted nor have any clue where they came from since I never had onions other than some green onions in a different area. I plan to let them go through the cycle and see what happens.
I thought scallions / bunching onions were perennial, or at least the variety I've been growing is supposed to be perennial. I suppose it depends whether you let them go to seed, as this takes a lot of energy out of the plant.
I have garlic chives that are prolific something like the green onion
Thank you for the information!

We do the same thing for chives. Some of those young 1yr old green onions that you are thinning should be cut up and put into the dehydrator for use in the dead of winter when you cannot go out and harvest from the garden. I give excess fresh and dried to neighbors. We also use a bit of colored string tied lightly around the stalks of the plants that we want to harvest the seed pods. The seed is then given as gifts at Christmas to fellow gardeners or new beginners. Thanks for your channel!
Wow Luke.. thank you! I planted them in July.. I am still harvesting.. so I will let some grow on! Very cool.
I have a small patch of green onions and I never do anything, I only water them in the summer
Which point to you havest some onions?
BACK in the day they used the extra seed to grow close and make onions sets..aka tiny bulbs..to plant next year..i got a bowl full waiting to out out next week….
Why would you thin them like that so early rather than wait till they got bigger and then thinned them for friends or better still eat them and space out the rest.
