I love how these looks,can u do over a video on these on fertilizing them?or how you treat them etc pls ty❤️
Great Idea! I will have to put together a bed prep series.
@farmerkeith okay thanks,I'd keep a eye out
@@farmerkeithThank you. I would love to see seeding to harvest.
I did my first direct sow this year in rows because that’s how I learned at other farms but this seems like way more yield per square foot and so much less maintenance. I am going to try this but with direct sow for the rest of my crop. I could probably try some not in fabric and see how hilling them goes with stretching the bulb. Thanks for sharing all the details from seeds per cell to spacing on the fabric, performance under low water etc. the only other thing that would be good to know is variety.. I wonder if some preform better then others as well as if I can use storage onion seed rather than green onion which would be a lot cheaper
We use parade but variety with onions really comes down to your latitude
@@farmerkeithWhat do you sell a bunch of scallions for at market? There are 7-10 scallions in each bunch since that’s how you plant per cell starting out?
Thanks! Great technique. Very helpful content. 👍🏼
Hello, I have a partial shade garden (8 hours of direct sun) can I use a short day onion due to limited sun in New England (normally a long day onion zone) reason is that my long day varieties don’t grow to potential size…I believe due to the limited sun light… anyone have thoughts or suggestions?
Thanks
Frank
Great video! How do you decide on pricing for them?
We sell everything for the same price. The trick is changing the quantity to give equal value for each product. The bunch is $4.50 with our included sales tax.
How long did the seeds stay indoors before planting them in ground?
About 2 months
great looking onions, but insane amount of labor ... Why not direct seed with a seeder? Thanks for all the videos .
The grass will overtake my onions. They are in the ground all season
Could you put up the link where you bought the seeds for those onions thank you.

hey what that spray head
How many days does it take to grow before you can harvest them?
We start harvesting at just bigger than a pencil amd tje weekly till we are out, usually October.
Will the seedlings múltiply??
No they will not multiply
@@farmerkeith there was I guy who has some that if you plant 3 or 4 6 or eight would come from them
How many onions are in a set ?
We aim for 6-8
So you clarify, you are just planting them out from the 200 cell trays into the holes in the fabric without separating the bunching onions? I've never done it this way, but I just planted some in slightly larger cell trays. I hope it works, because I absolutely hate separating them and planting them that way as it takes forever and I get quite aggravated at the process.
The bunching onions just make so much money that I go through that painstaking ritual every year of separating them out. I grow deep purple instead of parade, but I used to grow parade, which is I assume what you are growing, as it is the standard.
That is correct. Plant the whole plug. It fills out the bed nicely, easy weeding too. Then, to harvest, we pull the whole bunch, band it, and wash the exposed areas. Easy as that!
Hello. I'm zone 9a. What zone are you in?
We are in 6A
These are what I would call scallions. They are also known as spring onions, green onions and more. They are all of the same family and all have underdeveloped bulbs and the different names tend to be specific to different areas and dialects. It is not wrong to call them by their locally recognised name, so please do not think that I am "getting at" you, far from it. Just a note for information 😊.
Bunching Onions are just a generic name used by market gardens. Just a type we plant in a bunch, harvest in a bunch, and sell as a bunch. I always confuse customers when I can them that.
How much do you sell them for a bundle? I watched the whole video but maybe I missed it since I’m trying to keep volume down
$4 to $4.50 per bunch
@@farmerkeith good to know! Thank you sir!
How did you know it was time to pull them out of the ground?
Pencil size and bigger. We only do one planting and then harvest them for the rest of the season. In summer they are smaller, but by October they are thumb diameter
@@farmerkeith thank you!
Where are you located?
We are in zone 5b
What is the variety and name
Thanks
Parade. You can get them from all the major seed companies.
Thanks from sw Mo
