Have you ever thought about certifying as a Permaculture instructor? You have a great demeanor when doing instruction. You have some of the best instructional videos I have seen on UA-cam so far.
+Frank Johnson Wow! Thank you kindly Frank😀. My days of Certifications are long behind me now. Love the retired life. We really enjoy making videos to inspire folks to garden especially those that have never had a garden before. I wish all parents would grow a small backyard garden involving their children. Some of my dearest childhood memories were in the garden. Both my parents taught me but mostly my Daddy. He was born and raised on a farm in Southwest Georgia and forgot more than I'll ever know about gardening and homesteading. I often wish he was still here to see my garden and instruct me. He was a good man.
lol I live in Atlanta and was looking for the red clay in your garden area but didn't see a single clod of it :). If you are in georgia now, you have done a fabulous job of soil remediation in the garden area.
+Frank Johnson We live in Virginia (Zone 8A). Yes, my soil is clay. When I first started working the soil it was similar to yours just not as red as Georgia Red Clay. I spent a lot of time deep tilling in lots of leaves and vegetable matter. I have added countless bails of compressed peat and pal lots of Black Kow. It is good now. If I dig down about 24" is will hit the hard clay again. The top is much better now but if it is allowed to dry out for long periods of time it tries to behave like clay again. I have to keep on it by adding leaves and compost and cultivating it
My yard is full of obsidium from the volcano across the lake. I'd need a skip loader and a sieve to get this yard in growing condition. Need lots of grow boxes. I think i'll move :D. Thanks again for your videos. just love em.
My father used a copper tubing on green onions so when the onions grew there was more white part then green part, because of the lack of sun it became more white from the root. It was about 4 or 6 inch tubes. I don't know about pcv pipes would work but it's just an idea. Love your videos
Probably the best onion growing video I've ever seen! I've seen lots too! From growing, maintenance, harvesting, cleaning and storage tips, you cover all the bases! Thanks so much, really enjoyed the video!
Hollis and Nancy, I love your videos. I've been a long time gardener and love to continue learning. I'm not sure if you do much canning but you can pressure can your onions in small half pint jars with just a little bit of butter or olive oil. You'll want to saute them first until they are just about done then pack them into the jars. They are great for soups and stews. I also saute onions with just a little butter, olive oil, or bacon grease until nearly done then put them into vacuum bags for the freezer. You can also saute combinations like onions, green peppers and mushrooms, or onions and celery, then vacuum seal them and freeze them. I spread them out on pizza or on top of a grilled steak. They're perfect for just about any dish that calls for cooked onions. You can also prepare and freeze your own onions rings. Just slice the onions, coat them in a stiff batter, roll them in flour, then freeze them in a single layer on a baking sheet covered in wax paper. In a few hours they will be frozen stiff and you can put them into a freezer bag, pulling out a few at a time for home-grown onion rings during the winter. I pity anyone who doesn't love onions!!! Keep the great videos coming.
+kycowboys Thanks for sharing your technique!! I am sure others will like it too. Best of luck to you with your onions this year. Have a peaceful weekend ❤️❤️🐶
we just planted our onions about 2 weeks ago. and it's so rewarding watching them grow. and our potatoes are doing great. I need to add the last layer of soil soon.
I have been watching your videos for several months now and I am beginning to have better success in my garden. Living in NW Florida I have been able to start most of my gardening late March. My sweet onions are at the stage to pull the dirt away from them I think. My radishes, beets and carrots are at their very best.....due to you...thank you. By the way, I roasted my radishes and they are fantastic cooked that way. Please keep your videos going as....WE NEED YOU! You both have a sunshiny day !
+Ellara Denny Thank you so much for watching and your kind words. Very happy your garden is improving 👍👍Well done!! Don't worry we are working on a bunch of new videos
I just found your videos. Thankyou. They are wonderful. We are moving to Tennessee this month. Your videos are motivating me to keep packing. We plan to use your methods to garden in the south. Thank you for alway glorifying our creator. A transplant from Ohio, Nancy Skinner
+alnanski Thank you so much for watching and subscribing!! Welcome to the family Nancy❤️❤️🐶. Best of luck to you with your new home and garden 👍👍👍. Have a peaceful week 😇
Hi Hollis, just to let you know that all of us whom love gardening will never get burned out from your blessing advice. there are no words to express how thrilling it is to watch your videos, you do such a fantastic job not only in planting, but also in explaining everything in detail. God bless you and Nancy Stella Lombardo
+Stella Lombardo Thank you so much Stella! I needed your words of encouragement today more than you will ever know. I have been blessed by you on this day. ❤️❤️😇😇😇
i have learned sooo much from your videos that i feel i too can be growing stuff out of my ears!!! i really appreciate your calm crisp demeanor....it calms me & i believe it does to the rest of youtube family....that's why i, well my wife saids you are truely blessed & to please do what you do best!!!! we love your videos!!! thanks sooo much! from the Suero family
Great video, Hollis. You are very good at explaining things. Thank you! And I always think it is so cute how Nancy always ends the video with a quick "Have a blessed day!" LOL Very cute!
I cannot thank you 2 enough for your insanely helpful videos! I’ll finally be able to grow a proper onion because of your vids & shared knowledge. You rock!!
Hey this was a great informative video…. I did subscribe Love the calm demeanor of Hollis. The kind of people I wish were my neighbors! Love the prayer at the end…. God gave so much to us and it’s what we do with it that matters! Thank You!!!
No wonder my onions didn't grow last year, I had them buried in packed dirt! I didn't know the bulb was supposed to be above the soil for the most part. Great informative videos!
Hollis You are such a great teacher...thank you. My little kiddie pool onions are growing so well, but I found out they wont get big because they were grown from sets. So much to learn. I need to go back to all your onion videos to the start of the onion planting.
I had commented on your tater video recently that i was going to grow some. Well I couldnt get seed taters. BUT today im planting my onion sets using your soil mix and your tips. This is my first time planting stuff. I also have some lettice starters as well as broccoli and lettice, carrots and spinach seeds. I cant plant much since im in an apartment but i have a balcony and will try garlic this fall! Oh i also have a hanging strawberry plant that im gunna try to keep going. Your channel inspired me to do this. Thank you. You have explained the most and helped the most. I gave learned the most from you! Thank you!
Great video. I love sweet onions. They also store really well when you chop them up and place them in a freezer container and freeze them. Really good for soups and chillie.
Hi Hollis and Nancy, I just had to give you an update on my onions! Since watching your onion videos I learned about ringing your onions and it has made a huge (pardon the pun) difference in mine this year! Thank you thank you! I'm so pleased! Mine are bigger than when I've harvested them in the past and plenty of time left to grow! I can't wait to see how big they are when I do harvest them! I'll have to remember to attach a picture! God bless you all and happy gardening!
I am so glad to see this video and the planting video too! Never have done onions before and I guess I'll get some onion sets today. I just never knew exactly what to do. I don't feel in the dark now! Thanks for sharing your knowledge! I love onions and use them in cooking a lot.
I live in Vermont. A little colder here....still snow on the ground in Feb. But I still could have probably planted them in early May. Thanks and God bless!
You guys are terrific! I planted onions for the 1st time. I planted them the last week of March. After I saw that you kind of wipe away the dirt (while still growing), I ran out to do it too. Mine are about a quarter size around.
+Rose Blake You are spot on!! I had to ring mine in a couple of times but they really take off when I do that. Enjoy your onions!! They are so much sweeter than store bought😍
Awesome sweet onion video. We finished planting some ebeneezer onion bulbs today in containers. We have already some onion seedlings planted in garden. Thank y'all for these great onion red and sweet onion videos, Blessings !
been growing onions for years! like 20 or more... not until now do I see how to make a bulb! lol always been just having the green tops... thank you for showing!
Thanks for many great how-to videos. They are wonderful resources for vegetable growing secrets, tips, and tricks. You are a great instructor with very practical methods. I come to your channel to learn how to grow a particular vegetable successfully, and it has worked out well for my vegetable garden. By the way, really enjoy your drawings/illustrations or when you show how to handle the plant in the ground. Credit to Nancy, the lady behind all the cool, enabling videos! You all have a wonderful day!
Thank you for your great instructional videos! I live in a 1 BR apartment, but I'm on the ground floor. I have a front porch & back porches! I'm getting ready to plant onions in containers per your directions! I look forward to when they get bigger! I'm also planting Curly Kale, Islander Sweet Peppers, and Spinach! This year is going to be a yummy year!!!
+JP Frank Thank you so much!!! Got plenty more coming out soon.....over 50 more in various stages of production. Hope everybody doesn't get burned out on them!! Have a blessed day 😇
Thanks so much and so informative. I really like this progression type video - from planting/sowing to harvest. So helpful! I look forward to more of them!
I just started watching your channel and It is amazing. I love how you have the outdoor wash, dry and vegetable preparation station. Can you please do a tour if you haven't done it already.
Welcome to the family ❤️❤️🐶. Yes, we just released a tour of the harvest area last Sunday. Go to the UPLOADS on our channel. There are a lot of videos on there that you may enjoy
@@HollisNancysHomestead hi thank you for sharing, I watch all 5 tours. Me and my husband is working on trying to purchase land here in Louisville Kentucky for a homestead. Hope some day we get there.
We are growing red onions and some of them started bolting due to some crazy weather we've had. We used the flowers and flower bulbs in a sauce and the flavor was absolutely amazing. The entire plant of the onion is edible so if you see those flower bolts, snap them off and use them. Very delicious!
How do you determine what "name brand"of each veggie you pick to grow? We live in Wichita, KS. Also, do you have videos on how to grow: leeks, ginger root, or mosquito plant? If not can you direct me to a good one or even make one. I want to take this opportunity to say thank you for sharing all your information on gardening, recipes, & most of all for sharing your faith both in seeds & word. God Bless both of you!
Good Morning, was wondering if you could show us, how to get the seeds from the different veggies (and flowers) that we have grown. Like in this video I would have loved to see how to get the seeds out of the pod. Also, does Nancy have any good recipes or suggestions on using the "green onion" part of the plant? These grow like weeds for me, and I am currently over producing in the summer and need to figure out what to do with them. Love all your videos and very much appreciate you both sharing you knowledge. TIA
I was wondering what was i doing wrong with my onions, they grew very nice but small bulbs. I never thought to expose the bulb for it to expand. Thank you, next season, God willing, I will do like you do. I will see if I get nice looking bulbs. Thank you again for teaching us. Blessings, Laura M
thanks for interesting Tutorial of all vegi gardening. I like the part using Fish as fertilizer under cucumber plants ! omg never know that before everything are so new to learn ...
I love the board you made to make the holes. I fight nut grass and chickweed. The chickens get the chickweed, but it is everywhere so I put down corn gluten among the onions. That helps me a lot. So now, I have to get my hubby to make me a board.
Really enjoy your videos, just found out about topping the onions and spooning them as well, looking forward to seeing a bigger crop , we saved the tops and froze them for soup later.
I have become obsessed watching your videos. I don't have a green thumb, but I am trying 😊 We have a big problem with ants making mounds in our garden. Is Seven Dust really safe to use? I hate the idea of putting chemicals of any kind in our garden. Thank you again for these wonderful videos ❤
yey! thanks for this. i just picked out 1/2 my ready onions! it'll continue to rain here and i don't have a ready rack, so i jigged some racks in the cool basement. will that do? do i need to use those plastic veggie storage bags? i don't have any handy and amazon takes forever anymore... can i just use fabric mesh bags? long ago i used old nylons...
New subscriber!! I'm looking forward to watching all your videos. I live in an apartment and try to have a patio garden, but not much luck due to minimal sun. We are hoping to get a house soon, so I am sure I will make good use of your shared info!! Thanks
+Robin Rosen Thanks for watching Robin. How exciting! A new home!!! With a yard!!! Let the gardening begin!!! So happy for you, a new life is just ahead of you and your gardening possibilities are endless. I hope you have full sun. We had to cut down 6 large trees to open up our yard to sun but It was worth it. Let us know how your new garden is going. You can post pics on our Facebook page if you want to. Thanks for subbing Robin, welcome to the family😍
Been watching your channel, and love all the tips and tricks. I''m originally from Michigan but live in Japan currently. I don't have much space but I still grow as it relaxes me and gives me something to do.. Keep up the great work and congrats on your new homestead in Florida. God Bless you both. Jeff
Hey Hollis do y'all ever grow any cooking onions or some type of bigger onions that you can over winter? Or are you mainly growing sweet onions? that's where I seem to run into problems when it comes to raising onions to try n keep for winter.. Thanks and really enjoy all your videos!

Enjoy your videos immensely. I can practically taste those onions.

I'd be freezing a bunch of onion rings and such. Lord knows I'd die if I didn't have my onions and garlic. Lol
lovely stuff, I like to remove the greens and make them into onion powder, I honestly use it in everything! I save and dry the bulbs
As with all of your videos, this was very, very helpful! Thanks for sharing so much of your knowledge with us!

Thank you so much Carla. Have a blessed day❤️❤️😇😇😇😇😇
Good Morning, was wondering if you could show us, how to get the seeds from the different veggies (and flowers) that we have grown. Like in this video I would have loved to see how to get the seeds out of the pod. Also, does Nancy have any good recipes or suggestions on using the "green onion" part of the plant? These grow like weeds for me, and I am currently over producing in the summer and need to figure out what to do with them. Love all your videos and very much appreciate you both sharing you knowledge. TIA
very informative, I smell the onion rings from here, thank you

I was wondering what was i doing wrong with my onions, they grew very nice but small bulbs. I never thought to expose the bulb for it to expand. Thank you, next season, God willing, I will do like you do. I will see if I get nice looking bulbs. Thank you again for teaching us. Blessings, Laura M

I learned a lot from your video on onions. Thank you! :)
+theIAMofME
Awesome!! Glad it helped you. Good luck with your onions.👍
I love the board you made to make the holes. I fight nut grass and chickweed. The chickens get the chickweed, but it is everywhere so I put down corn gluten among the onions. That helps me a lot. So now, I have to get my hubby to make me a board.

Please tell your husband I said "You're Welcome". LOL 😀😀😀
Really enjoy your videos, just found out about topping the onions and spooning them as well, looking forward to seeing a bigger crop , we saved the tops and froze them for soup later.
Awesome, thank you!
Love you guys and your very informative videos! Thank you.
I have become obsessed watching your videos. I don't have a green thumb, but I am trying 😊 We have a big problem with ants making mounds in our garden. Is Seven Dust really safe to use? I hate the idea of putting chemicals of any kind in our garden. Thank you again for these wonderful videos ❤

I love to watch you and Nancy video
yey! thanks for this. i just picked out 1/2 my ready onions! it'll continue to rain here and i don't have a ready rack, so i jigged some racks in the cool basement. will that do? do i need to use those plastic veggie storage bags? i don't have any handy and amazon takes forever anymore... can i just use fabric mesh bags? long ago i used old nylons...
Things I need to know, thank you for sharing.

Thank you my friend for the nice comment and thank you for watching our little channel😇
New subscriber!! I'm looking forward to watching all your videos. I live in an apartment and try to have a patio garden, but not much luck due to minimal sun. We are hoping to get a house soon, so I am sure I will make good use of your shared info!! Thanks
+Robin Rosen
Thanks for watching Robin. How exciting! A new home!!! With a yard!!! Let the gardening begin!!! So happy for you, a new life is just ahead of you and your gardening possibilities are endless. I hope you have full sun. We had to cut down 6 large trees to open up our yard to sun but It was worth it. Let us know how your new garden is going. You can post pics on our Facebook page if you want to. Thanks for subbing Robin, welcome to the family😍
Been watching your channel, and love all the tips and tricks. I''m originally from Michigan but live in Japan currently. I don't have much space but I still grow as it relaxes me and gives me something to do.. Keep up the great work and congrats on your new homestead in Florida. God Bless you both. Jeff
Peace to you Jeff ❤️
Praise the LORD for ALL HIS BLESSINGS

Another wonderful video Sir. Would I follow the same instructions for planting onions in the fall?
Yummy, Thanks for sharing❤️❤️❤️
Hey Hollis do y'all ever grow any cooking onions or some type of bigger onions that you can over winter? Or are you mainly growing sweet onions? that's where I seem to run into problems when it comes to raising onions to try n keep for winter.. Thanks and really enjoy all your videos!
Thanks for the quick responds. Really appreciate what the both of you are doing. Keep up the good work. Love your humility!
