Hope you enjoy our time together in the garden, my friends. Life is best in the garden. Also, I misspoke. Redwing is my purple storage onion of choice, and Yellow of Parma and Patterson are both yellow storage onions of choice. ALSO, I have a head cold. Which is why I sound weird. The end.
Get well soon!
Have you tried the Netti Pot. Its remarkable. I was told water would be my best friend by a pharmacist. Well he was right. For me it's hard to remember to drink water. I get so busy. I will pray for you. Someday we'll not have to worry about Shnoz problems because we'll be with Jesus. Sounds good to me. These noses are overrated.
Thank you for this absolutely lovely video. We too go through a massive amount of onions- such wonderful tips! And the braid is so satisfying and beautiful in the end. So much better than the mesh bags at the store!
I think that’s what you said.
Hi Shaye...we just purchased a 111 year old house with an old rock wall basement. My husband runs a dehumidifier in the basement. Would onions be OK stored in the basement with a dehumidifier running? Or will it dry the onions out too much?
This video is not only informative, but it’s also a work of art 😍
Beautiful.
Thank you Elliots!
Your channel is like a meditation. I love your quality content creations! The onions looked beautiful and delicious.
This was so beautifully presented. I know your work in the garden is long and hard, but it looks so idyllic on your farm. I can hardly wait to learn how to braid onions myself. Thank you for continuing to share with us. xo
Wow!!!!! That's a lot. I don't seem to be able to get my onions that big.
Onions and Garlic are a health tonic for your life as well as adding flavor to everything!
This was a beautifully done video! I would love to try growing onions, each year I learn a little more about gardening. Can you sometime make a video about how to plant, grow and harvest garlic? That's the next vegetable I want to master! ♥️
Amazing. I harvested 7 onions yesterday.
They are beautiful braided.
I'll live vicariously through you this year! My onions didn't do too well. We had such a wet beginning and middle to our growing season this year. Things were stunted and drowned out. I have maybe a half a viable bed and they are all still very small. We'll see what they do by the end of September. Great video! I really enjoy watching your garden harvest/preservation videos!
I wish you’d been around 30 years ago. We’re *almost* empty nesters and my gardening days and ways are changing, but you inspire me. Maybe I’ll try to be doing this for another 20 years. 😊
I've been binge watching old episodes of the HC podcast where you've talked about doing this. How wonderful is technology that I can switch apps and see how it's worked out! 😃 This is what I'll definitely be trying this year.
And I love the clip of you driving the tractor with a full bucket and your daughter on your lap! You are a homesteading BOSS! 🚜
Beautiful onions and great information. Thank you
We don't eat many onions, so I would never try to grow the few I need. None the less, I found myself watching your video and enjoying every minute. It was informative and so well done. Your braids turned those onions into objects of beauty. Seeing them all lined up on the table waiting for storage was a joy.
Onion braiding is a beautiful art form of living food -- it makes me smile just watching you do it. But what an incredible long-term storage / prepper tip/skill, love it! And the idea of seeing all those braided onion bunches hanging in your root cellar, looking up at the fruits of all your labors - priceless!!!
Wow!!! So informative for budding homesteaders! Thank you, thank you, THANK YOU!!! 💖💖💖💖
I wish I could have seen this video before we planted our onions. It was a fail for us but hope next year will be better.
Hello from Germany! First of all: I just love (all) your videos! So many useful tips! I just harvested my (very few) onions and your seeing you braid yours so beautifully made my heart happy! My grandma taught me the same !!! I just braid the twine at the end for a couple of inches in the strand, so that when they dry, the whole braid just holds better together…
I don’t have a root cellar, they hang in my garage and look pretty throughout the winter days!
We cluster planted our onions this year and were also really pleased with the results. I will never go back to the tedious planting method I used before.
GREAT tutorial on onions. And the braiding explanation is great for us dyslexics 🥰
This is the most romantic ode to the onion that has ever been made. I almost cried from joy when y'all were covering your entire table with onion braids!
Enjoyed your watching your video. Such beautiful onions! Hope you feel better soon.
I enjoyed this video so much! Learning the simple stuff of self-sufficiency is so cool, especially when it’s as pretty as you guys make it look :) If you can, I would definitely like to see more root-cellar-stocking videos like this!
I get 6 sandwich bags of chopped onions in one gallon zip lock bags, need 10 gallons plus the braided ones each year, gotta love the bount our lord can give us
Onions , Onions ,La La La .......Love the onion show , great video , as always. So cool with the tractor scene, it reminds us how hard you must work out there on any given day. Thank you for taking us along once again.
I imagine braiding onions is a somewhat mundane task, but so rewarding in the end. Thank you for sharing this bit of farm life with us. It was rather mesmerizing! :)
The no- dig method is the best. Soil is the most important part of the garden. I myself eat an onion a day
I thoroughly enjoyed this....I was mesmerized!! Thank you and the Italian music was a lovely touch...I could see myself making a lovely risotto starting with frying finely chopped onions and garlic in butter...Impressive ♥♥
Hello Anne..
How are you doing today?
Lovely & Instructional video!...always wondered why onions + shallots get braided! Now I know!👌👍...as always really enjoyed this one!... Blessings for you & your Gorgeous Family!🙏
All of the wonderful reasons you have on growing the onions and you forgot to mention the beauty of those hanging/beaded onion bunches!!! Great job with the onions!!!
New subscriber here, love the content. Can't wait until the next video. I feel I'm going to learn so much!!
Really cool videoooo please more of this!
Gah you did so well with this video! You are living art!
Beautiful onion braids!
What beautiful onions and a beautifully presented harvest and storing video. Thank you for your creative, beautiful and inspiring videos! If only I could grow and store onions like that in Hawaii! But I am grateful for the amazing tropical fruit, flowers and year round vegetable harvests I can grow here.
Hello Debbie..
How are you doing today?
Wow this was a stunning video ❤️
My onions totally failed this year but my garlic did ok and I have two big braids hanging on either side of my pantry. Talk about feels 🥰
So helpful, thank you! I planted my first small onion crop this year. CT weather has been cooler and really wet this summer. Now I know when to pick, rest, and braid! Just wrote down your "storage" onions to try next year.
Amazing video. Kisses from Brazil! ❤️
We store our onions like this. Get panty hose. Cut a leg off. Drop 1 onion in and push it all the way to the toe. Then tie a knot and drop another in. Keep doing that until leg is full. Tie a ending know and add a string and hang them in you basement or cellar floor juices. They will keep the whole winter. When you need a onion go down and at toe cut below the knot and you get a onion. Its simple and doesn't take up a whole lot of space. Happy Gardening
Love your videos!!! Can’t get enough of your beautiful homestead! I think I may try braiding this year! Thanks 😊
I love these videos that are one crop specific! I love the whole process videos too, but this makes understanding adding one new crop much easier. Seeing the process start to finish is great!
I love them! And so beautiful!
So many gorgeous onions...lol!! And soooo nice to have a garden video after a bit of a wait. Oh...and your hair looks great!
When I was young me and my popow grew so many onions. There was a small onion we grew for fresh eating. I can’t remember what it was called but we pulled it right out of the garden and ate it. So good.
Absolutely beautiful video.....I really enjoyed it because onions are such a wonderful ingredient in my everyday cooking. You are so blessed to have them grow so well in your garden.
I don’t know how you doing. I put down red union and yellow union. It’s been 2 months. I only have a little leaf coming out. Sad….Savy
I’ve been having a lot of trouble with onions for years. I’ve tried a lot of places around the yards, but no luck.
I enjoyed watching you braid the onions. It makes me want a big garden again! Thank you!
Hello Ellen..
How are you doing today?
So nice...... today children we're gonna read the "happy little onion"... lol.... sounded just like a children's narrative. I enjoyed it. Viva le Onion' !
I just braided and hung my onions a few days ago. Such a thing of beauty after all of that hard work!
Do you think the onions would fair well making a mixed braid of yellow and purple onions? That way you can have a variety when you bring them up to the kitchen?
Oh yes. That’d be fine!
Great idea!
Está preciosa la cosecha de cebollas 😁
What a blessing 🙏🏻 Thanks for sharing your amazing onion harvest. 😘🤗
I wish I had the space to plant 800 onions, we only have enough for about 120 and 50 garlic. But it means we cover maybe a 1/3 of a year. Which is enough. I love the french plait idea, I was going to store them in a box. But the kids love little odd jobs in the garden, and I think my two girls 3 and 6, would have a great old time twisting them together.
Just look at all those onions...that's heaven sent... beautiful
I love your wonderful videos! Thank you so much for making the videos. Each video is a true joy to watch!
I love your home very much I am so inspired by your videos, may God bless you and your family
This video was the absolute best! Now can you do that with every other vegetable you store!? ❤️❤️❤️
Sorry you have a head Cold 😫.
I love the braids, they show off the Harvest every time you go to the Cellar 🐦🙌.
Thanks 😊.
JO JO IN VT 💕😄
khu vườn tuyệt vời quá ạ
I'm new to your channel and I am learning a lot. Thank you for sharing us all these tips. I'm fairly new to gardening. I seem to have "mastered tomatoes, zucchini lol! Now I want to plant, onions, garlic and potatoes.
My mom taught me French braiding too. It’s something you don’t learn in daycare. Thanks Mom.
This video was super helpful! It's only my second year gardening and we are trying to find ways we can store a boat load of potatoes and carrots too!
Look up storing them in what’s called a clamp.
What a lovely video! So inspiring and yes, for our family of 8, I definitely use at least two onions a day!
Beautiful! Congrats on that HUGE harvest! 💚🧅
love that 3'fer planting technique and will try that next year - such a beautiful harvest and when I harvest I'm going to try the braiding too!
I absolutely love this video as this was my first year growing three different types of onions and storing them for winter. I have no where near the amount you do. There’s just two of us, and I am limited as to how I use them, although I am getting more daring and adding them where I normally wouldn’t just to try and give my cooking flavor. Gotta say, why haven’t I been doing this all along!
Love how many you have hanging around.
I really enjoyed this video. Infact it was really beautiful. The purple onions are so pretty and my favorite. Lots of work goes into everything. I will sit here and watch!! Ha! Joyce
You are absolutely amazing. What stores do you usually do your grocery shopping at? Do you ever stock up on water? Can you possibly do some in store grocery shopping videos? It would be awesome if you could show how you do your full shopping trip
I can’t wait to grow some onions this coming fall for the first time I planted the multiplying onions this year but they small I want the big slicing onion 🤗
Absolutely Beautiful video! I felt like I was sitting on the lawn harvesting food with with Grandma seeing you in the shade with your daughter working your harvest. Almost brings me to tears. I think I need to buy your Potato Portrait.
Love the video and I see you are "enjoying" the smoke from the western fires. I live in the salt lake valley with a similar climate to yours and we are getting the brunt of the smoke. At one point our air was deemed the worst in the world! I LOVE LOVE LOVE your gardening and cooking instructional videos!
You could totally freeze dry some of the onions for things like French onion soup base and that would ensure less go off.
Thermo mix base for soups are are also amazing veggie base that are used in lots of soup and stores well, it’s essentially a veggie paste with salt and huge array of herbs
So inspiring! I definitely want to do onions next year, have you ever done a video on how you make sauerkraut? Thank you for the time and effort you put into your videos, they are such a joy to watch.
Cluster planting is a game changer! I cluster planted beets this year and had a very successful harvest.
I NEED TO LEARN HOW TO ONION BRAIDING... because its beautiful..
I've just started watching your videos, our land is also in the same growing zone. I enjoy how informative your videos are and educational for the dreamer like me! I love your cook stove, thank you for sharing your adventure.
I’m so excited for you that you have such an awesome harvest this year! My onions were a big old flop unfortunately, my three-year-old decided to turn off our irrigation system to that bed and my onions died off much too early. Poor things didn’t have a chance without water!
This video is very encouraging though! I can’t wait to start next year, I think I’m going to do your method!
I used to grow my onions from sets but because of you and listening to you and Angela on the podcast, I tried growing them from seed this year. I’m very happy with my harvest. Thank you for putting together this video.
Hello Sherra..
How are you doing today?
Wow! I was watching you pull them and mentally planning my planting for next year. Your garden is beautifully lush..
Not sure if our onions are storage or not but every year I chop.snd freeze some and dehydrate and store in a sealed glass mason jar to use. Either way they are priceless!
Always wonderful to watch , inspiring and just lovely .
I appreciate them! Which makes it extra painful that I'm probably only going to get 3-4 regularish sized onions out of the hundreds of seeds that I also planted back in February! 😭😭😭😭
Wow I can't wait to braid my onions, it was so soothing to watch you do this. Thank you for sharing!
Brilliant!!! I love this tutorial on braiding. I’m gonna have to try this a few times more to get it right. The garden is AWESOME! What a great example for the no dig method. Again, the music is fabulous. Just fabulous. Thanks, Shaye!
Great timing on this video! I was looking at my onions and thinking some of them looked ready to harvest. First time gardener here! I enjoy your video's so much: they inspire me, make me happy and bring a sense of calm. They make me want to delve into growing, perserving, cooking from scratch, making home remedies... even more!
Hello sara..
How are you doing today?
Thank you for your videos, they make such a positive difference in my life! They inspire💜
Wow that's an amazing harvest!
We freeze dry our onions and they turn out amazing. You gotta try this method.
We live just over the mountains in Seattle. This weekend my wife and I visited with some friends here in town, who were in the tri-cities area last week, and they brought back some Walla-Walla sweet onions for us (they got a new kitty). I understand some farmers over there lost their onion crop due to the excessive heat wave we had in the last month. I guess we have another heat wave coming in a couple days; am looking at my garden and hoping everything makes it. Cheers.
Loved this ❤️
Amazing!! I tried the cluster planting this year and it went well but then for some weird reason my tops all started bending And falling like something had walked in my garden 😡. I haven’t pulled them yet Im Praying they MAY get a little bigger even with bent tops 🙏🏻
If the tops are bent, they will stop growing. It’s better to pull them off before they get any disease. Enjoy!
It’s amazing how much food you can get from one seed packet! I have spaghetti squash all over my kitchen that came from one $3 packet of seeds. They’re selling at our grocery store for $5.90 each! Crazy, right?
How lovely those onions are! Wonderful tips! Thank you!!
We love our onions. Thank you for your video, I need to expand my onion garden next year.
Wonderful! We had too much rain here in France and I planted my onions in the wrong place, lol. However I did manage some small ones from my own seeds for the first time. Thanks for the tip on planting!
Somehow I'm always late coming to your videos. I checked all day yesterday and last thing before I went to bed and yet the video was posted 12 hours ago. I guess because we're on opposite sides of the country and time zones? We've had endless rain this year with lots of flash flooding. I am going to try a container garden next year.
Blessings to all!
Your poor hands.... so interesting though. I learned something very useful. You have a whole grocery store down in your cellar. Beautiful!!
‘Hi shay , I loved your onion braided tutorial video , hopefully next year I can grow some onions too and try to braid them like yours they look beautiful hung by your stove.. I also love cooking with onions and garlic.. your garden 🪴🥬 🧅🧄 is so spacious and lots of work put into it.. a breath of fresh air ♥️ .. thank you all for that great video.👍 🧅🧅
Wow , I never thought of onions as being beautiful but those red onions are gorgeous 🦋
I had to giggle... when you got up to get off the tractor, the camera went down and it made it look like the tractor was being relieved of its weight in a dramatic way!😄
I'm definitely going to try your cluster trick next year!
