- Onions are easy to grow in the garden and easy to start from seed. They do require advance planning to choose the right onion variety and when to begin. Knowing when to start onions from seed is one of the topics Gardener Scott discusses as he shows how to sow onion seeds and prepare the seedlings. (Video #337)

You're like the Bob Ross of gardening. :)

So true! "A pretty little onion over here."
Dead on 🤣
I find him both calming and insightful
Nailed it.
So, a few weeks ago I started rosemary in a cardboard egg carton and some onion seeds in a plastic egg carton. I've kept the seeds moist, in the sun, but uncovered. After watching your video I slid the cartons into a clear plastic bag and viola' today SPROUTS appeared.
I won't be using the egg cartons to start my tomatoes and peppers, instead I'll use yogurt cups, but covering the moist seeds to keep the humidity in was the trick I missed previously! Thank you!!!
Oh, I'm at 48° N latitude, and so close to Canada that I say "A" involuntarily...
Thank you for explaining about onions I wish most gardening channels will apply the knowledge obtain this is why I like the history lesson more then just Garden and I love the road trips you take us on
Such a timely video for me. I wanted to try growing onions from seed this year so purchased a couple of different packets. Now I have to check what I bought and get planting. Had no idea about the time frame needed or the short/medium/long day thing. Goodness, have been gardening for years and there is always a ton more to learn!
I feel the same. Love onions wanted to grow them, but had no idea what it took. This video was very helpful.
I guess you have to ask what kind they are at the store.. cuz i dont know what i got either. 🤔. The little sets at the feed store don't have any info on them.
I started onions from seed last season for the first time. I direct sowed the seeds. I really didn't think they would grow. But they did. We only have a solid 3 months to count on here in NNY Zone 4a. They were not big, a little bigger than my thumb. But my wife was happy because it was the right size to put in the freezer. I'm going to try it again this year. Enjoyed, take care!
This video popped up in my feed - glad it did! I need to get my onions started and I didn’t know what to do - love your teaching style - thank you !
This was such a good video, not boring at all and so informative! I’m excited to grow my own organic onions this year. We used sets last year and half of them grew almost no bulbs, while some grew ridiculously large, even though I live in Alberta Canada and have long days.
Nicely done Scott. Those cells seem deep enough to grow the plants out until transplant time. I grew 2 varieties of onions in a 10x20 tray last year and that worked pretty well.
Thank You Gardener Scott for the great onion planting information! You explained the process perfectly.
Thank you! Just started onion seeds for the first time.
I saw this video yesterday night and came right back to it and I am ready to plant my onion seeds. I have exactly 16 weeks left before my estimated first frost. Thanks again for another great tutorial.
Very timely video. Planted mine few weeks back and just started seeing little sprouts. Trying shallots & sweet yellow. Excited to see them coming up
Do you want a cute story about onions in my family? They are one of the reasons I started gardening. I knew my family liked onions. I bought a packet of our favorite onion seeds to put in my garden, thinking a hundred or so onions would last us a year. I also realized it would take 6 months for the 100 onions that I planted to bear fruit. I started thinking about how often I use onions every month. I realized 100 would never last me a year. I went to the store and I bought 64 more onion sets. Then I started thinking about all the alternative ways we use onions, - onion powder, onion salt, onion dip, sour cream and onion popcorn, onion cough remedy, etc. I'm thinking I'll be planting 100 every three months!
That's a good story. I'm planning pickled onions for one of my options.
My story isn't so cute. I grew onions from seed for the first time last year. They did so well I didn't know what to do with all of them. I pickled all of the red onions ending up with about 7 quarts in the refrigerator. I loved them - a little too much. I got really sick, ending up in the emergency room with extreme abdominal pain. My intestines were swollen and inflamed. It took over a month to get better. Once I started eating again I slowly added in different foods and found out the raw pickled onions were the culprit. Turns out my brother can't eat raw onions either. He has the same reaction. I'm only growing a few yellow onions this year to use in cooking.
That is a funny story (after you recovered)! I guess it shows how much our intestines like the cooked vegetables more (partially broken down). Sad to know that you cant eat so much of something you love.
I have a friend allergic to alliums,very allergic. Onions, garlic, peppers too. She is okay with denatured onion and garlic powder, though something changes. Sorry you got so sick.
@@karinchristensen220 Are you allergic
I grew up just a short drive from Walla Walla Washington, where those onions are from. It’s a cute little town! They grow some good wine grapes there too.
I always now put vermiculite over my seeds- saved my marriage! When one year I didn't, and I watered too much and fungal gnats were EVERYWHERE. Last year I added the vermiculite and NO GNATS! (Happy non-gardening husband= relieved Master Gardener wife!)
@Becky Pererson, I saw in another channel some bacteria to discuss the planting hole with to prevent fungus gnats. Can't find it. Do you know if this is advisable? Will try vermiculite cover if I can get it... World wide shortage of coarse, at least.
Excellent podcast on starting onions from seed. Thanks again you are the best Scott !
I'm glad I watched this because I was going to say nvm because I'm about a month behind but now I'm going to start them!
This was quite helpful information on planting onions. Cheers, Scott!
I used sets last year and had one flower which I seed saved from, and now I have a whole tray waiting to go in the ground at the end of the month which I started on the first of the year. While I am in an intermediate area, the ones I am growing are long day and grew just fine for me as I am close to the long day border area.
I just started a bunch from seed using this method! Thanks as always GS!
OK Scott, I'm going to give this a try... 55 degrees... check
You are my new fav instructor. Well done Sir.
Thrilled to see this video! Got half my onion seeds planted yesterday (2/9) finished the rest today (2/10). My area needs long day. Planted 4 varieties: Walla Walla, Ailsa Craig, Yellow Spanish Sweet, and North Holland Blood Red. For the past 4-1/2 years, I’ve tried to get seeds for Kelsae onions. They keep selling out before I can get any... and WEST COAST SEEDS (Canada) cannot ship to the U.S.
BEST onion content ever! Thanks for conveying the info in a way I finally get it 🤦🏻♀️😁
I loved growing sitting onions last year. Didn't have enough of them though. I grew them from seed and they did great. Thanks for the video. I plan to plant sufficient number of onions this time.
What is a sitting onion? Ty
I also spray the inside of the dome
In Oklahoma. 36 degree latitude.
Long day right? I’m exactly 11 weeks from my last frost date,
So it’s time for onion seeds! I’ve never done this before!!!
Love this channel!!
You're south of the recommended zone for long day. Intermediate day would probably be better.
Thanks so much! Always great info. Can’t wait to get back to Tennessee to start my onion seeds!
I learned some new things today. Thanks.
3rd year of starting onion from seed. I basically do it the same way except I use plastic bins with holes in the bottom. I use about 2" to 3" of home made potting soil so I do not have to transplant before putting out in the garden. Started my onions on Jan 1st this year and are about 5" tall, already on their way to sturdy transplants in March. This is probably the best all around onion starting video I've seen, GREAT job Scott!
This very informative video earned you a supporter. And thank you for sharing your experiences with us.
Thank you for all this valuable information
Thanks Scott, Great show. Cheers
Excellent information throughout this video. I will definitely try the vermiculite to keep the fungus gnats population lower.
Start with dry mix, add boiling water to mix the soil. The boiling water will kill the fungus knats. You can also use vermiculite
Thanks.
thank you for explaining short day/long day. I grow Walla Walla and have been purchasing young plants by the bundle but this year I'll start my own in the house. Latitude 46 or thereabouts
Luv ur videos! I’ve been trying to get larger bulbs for yrs now🤞🏽 hoping ur method works for me. Thk u & happy growing!
Hi from South Africa! Thank you for the very informative videos. I was looking for the follow up video about planting out onion seedlings, but could not find it.
Sadly, I had some problems and wasn't able to complete that video. I do show some of the process in this video: ua-cam.com/video/NmPp3efFydI/v-deo.html
Here's you some good news for today.
I started a new job last week at a Jorgensen log homes.
I started outside peeling the log bark off the logs using a draw knife.
The owner has a mountain of composted wood chips and bark out behind the shop.
I ask him what he does with it?
He said I let it sit and rot. Do you have a use for it?
😲 I've been hauling it in my 16 foot dump trailer since Tuesday. He lets me use the skid loader to load it. He gives it to me free of charge.
I get home and dump it and get another load the next day after work.
I think I've hauled 5 tons total guesstimate so far and I'm going for more.
This stuff is black gold. It's loaded with earth worms and it's moist soft composted wood bark chips and saw dust pine needles.
I've been gardening Eden method for a while now. It was slowly building up the soil. Now it just got kicked into high gear. My chickens are happy little cultivators and spread it out plus are pooping in it adding nitrogen as they go.
I couldn't believe no one else comes and gets this free compost. If I had to guess there's at least 300 semi truck loads out back of the shop. I'm stocking up as much of it as I can. I can mix this with my animal manure, compost it and just keep going.
If you or anyone else has anything to add please comment below. It's always good to hear from you.
That's great! A lot like leaf mold, it is indeed black gold for the garden.
Great video. Topping with vermiculite is a great idea that I’ll try this season. Thank you
Nice video!
Do you use a heating mat under your seedling tray to help germination? Thanks for a great video, love the explanation of latitude/sun day length. I will be starting onions for the first time in a week or so.
I don't use heat mats for onions, but do for others like peppers and tomatoes.
Really useful video, thanks!
I had a nice tray of onion seedlings back in January, but accidentally left them outside after a sunny day and then had a freeze that night and killed the tray. Although they're typically pretty hardy, seedlings in a container should be keep from freezing. Lost them all. :-( Now, I find out April is really too late to start from seed this year in Seattle. So this year, I'll grow from sets or bulbs. I'll try another round of seeds indoors this coming winter. Great video, Scott! Thanks. Just what I was looking for...
Great video- Thanks for posting.
I really enjoy listening to you. You are so detailed, easy to understand. What kind of potting soil do you use when y transplant peppers and tomatoes? I have Miracle-Gro grow potting soil. Can i use that for potting up?
Thanks! I make my own potting mix. Miracle-Gro works for many people. Here's how I do it: ua-cam.com/video/k1ovhhJriJI/v-deo.html
I have used the pencil method for years with 1/4" deep seeds. Works great! I use it either to poke little holes, or to drag out small "furrows" for larger plantings.
Until I viewed this video and even though I knew the difference between short, medium and long day onions, for whatever reason I've never really paid attention to which type I would put it my garden (I need a long day onion). You also reminded me that I hadn't sown my onions yet and it's Feb. 10 - I probably should have seeded them at least three weeks ago. I'll do that today.
One point of clarification: you referred to your planting medium as "seed-starting" mix, although later in the video you refer to it as potting mix. I've always thought that seed starting and germinating mixes are both sterile mediums. Thinking about it, maybe the seed starting mix is simply a lighter version of a potting mix?
Thanks for all the useful videos.
As I show in recent videos, seed starter mix is usually just peat or coir and perlite or vermiculite. Potting mix often has compost and fertilizer added for extra nutrients.
@@GardenerScott Thanks. I'm wondering, don't the onions need nutrients after they develop and before they are transplanted?
I'm guessing that you supply nutrients to your seedlings at the later stage of development?
As I mention in the video, the seed has enough energy to get the plant growing but I'll transplant into potting mix for the nutrients the plant needs.
@@GardenerScott Sheesh! Even though I do this with my peppers and tomatoes, I never thought of "potting up" my onions, scallions and shallots. Thanks for your patience. Cheers.
Very interesting, thank you.
I'm just seeing your video, and I have a package
Now I want to plant onion seeds!
No time now, I’m in Super Bowl mode….GO RAMS!
Hi Scott. Thanks for all the great videos. I'm looking for part 2 of this video where you talk about transplanting the onion seed starts. Mine are planted in 1" cells, and about 2-3" tall. The roots are extending down into the water bath below. I'm concerned about them drowning and they appear to be too delicate to transplant. Thanks.
Hi. I wasn't able to complete a part 2 video. If the roots are growing out the bottom they can be transplanted. Consider moving them to larger pots or trays and transplanting outside once they reach at least 4"-6" tall and temperatures warm.
I would like to grow onion rings.
Thank you sir
I truly enjoyed this video. This is my first year trying to grow onions. I started them last week Wednesday and this Monday started to have small sprouts. I was worried they wouldn’t germinate quickly due to not having another heat mat but they germinated fast. My only question and I’m sure it goes along with all other plants but what about Harding off. You said they can go out before the last frost date so how if anything will that effect Harding off.
Good question. Hardening off is good for most plants. Onions are tough, can handle cold, and will do okay without it, but if you have them in pots they will benefit from hardening off a few days before planting.
I enjoy your garden videos. Very informative.
This year my young onion leaves are curling after transplanting as if someone gave them a perm.
There seems to be some deformity right above the bulb. This is with more than one variety.
I'm in zone 7a in Virginia growing in a raised bed. Any advice you may offer will be very much appreciated.
Thank You,
Red
See how the new growth looks. It's relatively normal for the leaves to curl soon after transplanting because the plant is stressed. It usually recovers. If it continues it could be a problem with the soil, possible contamination.
Did waiting help?
Grazon?
LMFAO Flat of Italy - I'm watching this because I messed up my flat of that very same variety! I did ok with another one but Flat of Italy was a variety I wanted to try so it was a bummer when it didn't go right. I think I left it in too sunny a spot
Thank you for your helpful video x
I wish I knew what day this video was shot. I am in Colorado and I started my seeds the 3rd week of January, sounds like I am too late:(
This video was done in Colorado during the fourth week of January, so you're not too late.
@@GardenerScott Fantastic, I went for it and I have germination on all 6 varieties, now hoping they are ready for transplant when it is time over here in Wheat Ridge:) Have a great day!
Walla Walla Sweets are the best!
Scott, thank you for this video. You may be addressing this in an upcoming video, but what do you do about the seed coat not releasing from the tip of the onion sprouts? It happens to more than half of mine.
I will be covering that in another video. I usually snip the leaf or carefully pull it out.
Thanks!
I’m curious. I’m not going to be home to start bulbing onions for harvest this year. Cab I harvest them at the end of the growing season and plant them as sets the following year?
Possibly. Starting seeds late in the year, harvesting, and storing the plants so they don't dry out can be done. I've sown seeds and left the plants in the ground over winter and then harvested the next year. The bulbs aren't always as big, but it's easy.
I’m starting my onion seeds on January 22nd, so this video was in valuable, so thank you! As far as the 1/4 inch vermiculite goes, would the “coarse” kind that I have on hand work ok?
That's what I use.
I was sent here by @TheKitchenGardenWithEliAndKate as had a question about when to transplant onion seedlings into a potting mix and you had just uploaded this video. You mention that they get 3 leaves and then you pot them on. Mine have just started showing a little tentacly leaf each, will they all be like that or does the leaf change? First time grower! :)
That first leaf should straighten out and then more will come. They'll all be straight and slender.
Has anyone here tried direct-seeding onion seeds outdoors, using short season varieties e.g. 90 - 100 days? I want to try it this year in northern Montana. Our frost-free growing season is about 120 days. I'll also be growing some onion plants from Johnny's in case the experiment flops.
I have. You'll need to add a few weeks for germination outside. The onions can handle some frost so the season is a little longer for them, but they may not have enough time for full bulb development before a freeze hits. It's still worth a try.
How many hours of grow light per day should intermediate onion seedlings get? I have seen mixed answers in my searches - I think burpee's directions said 16 hrs, but other sites say more than 12hrs of light per day can result in the bulb forming too early(small onions).
Because bulbing can begin when intermediate onions start getting 12-14 hours of light, it's a good idea to use less than that.
A further question: I have done exactly as you have shown and have a dome over them. There is lots of humidity as water droplets are forming on the dome. Is that normal, and to be left until the seedlings appear?
That is normal. I just lift the lid and let the drops fall back into the tray each day. When the seedlings start growing I remove the dome.
@@GardenerScott Thanks again
Do you have any advice on growing shallots and leeks?
They are similar to onions. Starting early and good soil help.
What temperature should the potted onion seeds be kept?
They can germinate in a broad range of temperature but will sprout faster at about 70F.
How soon after they come up do you feed them? I get them started just fine .How ever...after a few weeks when they are about 2 1/4" tall the tops dry up ,turn brown & they die.
I don't so much feeding because my potting mix has nutrients in the form of worm castings, compost, and diluted fertilizer. Too much fertilizer can cause seedlings to die. Check your watering because too much water can cause it to.
Not that it's not a good onion (I'm growing it right now, actually), but if the goal is to grow an onion that's different from one in the store, Cabernet might not be the one to choose. My understanding is that it's a common commercially grown red onion variety.
Can you tell me where to find the green bin for soil? Thank you!!
I got it at greenhousemegastore.com
@@GardenerScott Thank you. Funny thing, I found them this morning from that very site! LOL. Your videos are clear and understandable. Thank you for making content. I'm excited about getting my garden started this year!! 🧅🧄🥦🥬🥒🫑🌶🍅
Here in Finland we get 18ish hours of sunlight in the summer, any recommendations for any specific onion?
I don't know what varieties you have available because they will probably be different than what we grow in the U.S. Check with your preferred seed provider and you should definitely choose a long-day variety.
Could you use perlite instead of vermiculite? Thank you.
Yes, they are often interchangeable.
@@GardenerScott thank you
I noticed Huw Richards used card board to cover his seedlings. What do you think about that?
That achieves the same basic effect as the humidity dome, but it requires more checking on the germination to avoid hindering the growth of the young seedlings.
@@GardenerScott Thanks
How much light should onion seedlings get? I've read that it's important because of day length affecting bulbing. They start to bulb in June at summer solstice and don't want to mess up timing. I also read to keep them in a cool spot while in flats growing--65° or so.
Long time ago I tried starting onions from seed, but they flopped over. Read that they need trimmed at about 3" to prevent flopping--and of course they were probably too warm. Onions and fruit are my concentration this year.
Any thoughts are very much appreciated.
12-16 hours is a good target. The bulbs won't begin forming until after they are transplanted and the plant is bigger. Trimming at 3"-4" can make a sturdier plant.
@@GardenerScott Need help with onions! I used brand new netted tray with solid tray under, have a fan, heat mat, used coconut coir fully constituted and vermiculite, led lights, indoor air 73°, used several varieties and suppliers all new seed, planted 1 inch apart used pencil eraser for 1/4" depth. Had spot of white mold appear and removed covers and mold. High Mowing said 50 seeds and there was only 39 and maybe 5 germinated, Burpee maybe 2. Maybe I should have used starting mix and just threw them all in one tray. It's a disaster!
Maybe I should winter sow in milk jug or direct sow. It will be in 50s this week, but what I don't understand about early sowing is I think they will freeze without protection. Feel like I'm running out of time to start from seed and have to purchase plants of whatever variety is offered. Never had such problems only that they flopped and now I know to trim and keep cooler--if I could get to that point.
Thank you for all your help. Greatly appreciated.
Update: I returned to video as I forgot I watched and the problem I had was the coconut coir mix I made retained too much moisture and read it can contain salt. I’m just using potting mix this year. Those plants I ended up buying were terrific, but they’ve doubled in price.😮
I had problems germinating Patterson onions from Johnnys. Had great success the last 2 years, but this year lousy. Did everything the same- bad seeds? Help ! I am forced to buy from Dixondale - Ringmaster. I don’t mind, but …..
If everything else was the same it could be a bad batch of seeds.
Quick question Scott, are you using a heat mat for the onion germination ?
I am not using it for my onions and they germinated fine.
@Garden Scott can you post a link where you get the green soil tray?
I got it at greenhousemegastore.com
if a short day onion is grown in a longer day location will it grow bigger?
The leaves may get bigger but the proper day length is what stimulates bulb development.
I live in Central NJ. What type of Onion should I get?
Do an online search to find your latitude.
Last year my onions didn't grow as well as I hoped and I have a lot of small onions between cherry size and golf ball size. Can I use them as sets (starts)? Or do they have to be harvested prematurely to grow into big onions and instead will flower immediately? I'm happy to make pickled onions/grow them for spring onions (scallions) but wonder if I can use them instead.
Also I like being in the UK (51-55N) as all the onion seeds are the same (long day) and we don't need to think about day length.
Try using them as starts. They may get bigger. Because it's their second year there is an increased chance that they'll bolt in hot weather, but they can still be harvested and eaten.
-
Can I substitute perlite for the vermiculite?
For most gardening uses it can be substituted.
What about green onions or Scallions? I find these difficult to germinate and then when they do start to grow it's painfully slow. By the time it's about ready for harvesting they are only a fraction of the size I buy at the market! What am I doing wrong????
Onions are notorious for difficult germination and slow growth. Rich, loose soil will help them.
Gardener Scott ! Where did you find that try you use to hold your potting mix? I am using a concrete mixing bin and it is very cumbersome.
Brian, it's a Tidy Tray from greenhousemegastore: www.greenhousemegastore.com/collections/garden-tools/products/tidy-tray
@@GardenerScott Thanks!
I thought it was a cat litter box. I bought the same thing at Walmart for $9.98 in the pet department for my cat.
The sides are a little higher, thats all.
So, if my latitude is 35.9, should I grow short day? I have no luck growing short day onions, or maybe I'm just terrible at onions. Last year I tried from seed and started them in early January and transplanted in March. They were puny.
I'm going to be trying intermediate for 2023. 🤞
Yes, you may do better with short day or intermediate.
perlite or vermiculite on top?
Either can be used, but I prefer vermiculite.
Onions, so far and by far, are the worst for me. I’ve tried five different varieties and also different types of chives. They are fresh seeds, but I get about a ten percent germination rate after a long wait, and by the time the few seeds do sprout, the growing media has algae. I’ve tried letting them dry out, and I’ve tried keeping them moist. I’ve tried under a grow light and not. They are sown the way you show in this video. This is becoming a source of discouragement. Nothing in this video explains what’s going on. Do you have any ideas?
I've found, for onion seeds, that I need to use a seed starting mat. Need heat initially to get optimal germination percent and rate (that is just my opinion). Once germinated, I take them off the heat and just try to maintain upper 60s to low 70s (Fahrenheit) I have had all your issues...and I will find out in the next week or so if I have avoided them again. As for the algae, if it is green that means light is feeding the algae. I tend to germinate the seeds in darkness to avoid the green algae issues. Light + heat = conditions for green algae. No light, no photosynthesis, thus no green algae.
@@kreggreen4322 thank you! I will try this.
Check the age of the seeds. Onions can lose viability quickly. A heat mat with a humidity dome may help.
👍
That looked to be perlite
They look similar but it was vermiculite.
Onion sets and onion bulbs are the same thing the ones that are started that you can buy a nursery are called onion plants not onion sets
But…sets are the little bulbs. Starts are the little plants.
p̾r̾o̾m̾o̾s̾m̾
Some of my seeds are sprouting, some not…do I remove the dome?
You can leave the dome on until most seeds sprout or when the dome interferes with the growth of the seedlings.
@@GardenerScott thank you sir!
You seem like a nice man, will you be my father?
I grow onions from seed at 36 degrees N latitude, and start quite early; seeds are already in trays. Just about any market with a big produce department packages artichokes, fennel bulb, large tomatoes, and similarly-sized veggies in tall (2.5 to 4") plastic containers that have holes in the bottom and top. The thing that works so well about these containers is the lid. The lid helps contain humidity, helping ensure that the surface of the soil does not dry out. Considering the shallow planting depth and long germination period for onion seed, these tiny greenhouses work really well paired with LED shop lights or grow lights, seeing the seeds through their relatively fragile germination period. Once the seeds are germinated, cut off the lids and keep the soil moist until planting time. So they do not fall over, trim the onion starts at around 6" height until ready to plant outside.
That's exactly what I use for my onions, I use the larger strawberry containers with the holes in the bottom and get hundreds of onions in each container.
I loved the puppy dog 🐶 appearance in the background! My dog has the same exact chew toy, but my dog has the 'mini' version. I love growing bunching onions {'He Shi Ko' from Baker Creek} , they are the gift that keeps on giving!
first time growing onions from seed and basically did what you did except i have a heat mat under the solid tray with the humidity dome right now because i have cell inserts with peppers as well. definitely looking forward to your follow up video :)
How much time did you spend in a teaching position? Your delivery and style are second to none! Thank you for this very well done class. Every "UA-camr" should have to watch this before they start.
Thank you. I was an instructor pilot in the Air Force for many years and have taught gardening classes for nearly 20 years.
@@GardenerScott It shows! Thank you for your service/sacrifice.
