I just want to say THANK YOU for such a great video! I get frustrated with some gardening videos because people don't take the time to film the whole process, they just film the beginning and talk about the rest. This is literally one of the best informative gardening videos I've watched.
Thank you Lindsay for this great comment. I am right now during this growing season filming "The life cycle of a potato" I hope it helps people as much as this video has. Thanks again. Joe
JoeandZachSurvival OMG NICE!!! I am hoping to do purple potatoes (although I think its too late in the season to start them now).
It would be useful if you included in your video how much time between planting and harvesting. I dont think it was clear from the video how long they were in the ground for.
Here's to hoping my onions survived my recent squirrel attack and I have SOMETHING to harvest at the end of the season! lol
I agree with her comment completely! Good job and keep going! Waiting to see more ... SUBSCRIBED! ;-)
I agree! Thanks a bunch!!!
Hi, when do I stop watering them? Do I stop watering them for the two weeks before I pull them out?
I dry my onions by hanging them on a length of chain link fencing nailed up in my fire wood shed. I just thread their leaves through each hole in the fence and fold them back. I can dry around 300 onions doing this and they all get a good flow of air around them.
I do the same!
This is my first year that I'm planting onions, your video gave me all the information I needed to plant and harvest them. Thanks!
Great presentation, you are clear, concise and get to the point -- good teacher. Thanks very much, I had no idea what to do with the onions I planted and this video has it all in one. Very useful, thank you for taking the time.
Thank you for the nice comment. I was hoping it would help people and am glad it is.
Thank you
What's with the thumbs down folks? This video is very informative and helpful. Thanks so much for making and sharing it.
Robert Colinares
I think some ppl just can't stand to watch anything longer than a 2 - 3 min video without thinking someone is dragginggg onnn...
personally I enjoyed it, but I think that is why he has so many thumbs down on this one. 😉
Robert Colinares: At the moment, there are over 4100 views for each down vote. That's a VERY low percentage compared to lots of other videos at 0.024%. In fact, it is so low that it's a safe assumption that a good chunk of them were accidental. In a city of a half million people (# of views) how many accidently drive their cars into the curb in 4.5 years (duration to date)? I assure you, it happens more than 117 times (number of down-votes to date).
Lol. All I can think is they don't like onions?!
Robert Colinares hater I suppose.
Perhaps someone came here looking for advice on growing onions from seed as well as from sets and was disappointed.
I have watched TONS of videos on onions and I got to say your video is by far THE BEST !! I have renewed faith now in planting onions. Thanks so much.
Thank you Von.
Thanks so much! Planted onions for the first time this year and had no idea when they were ready to harvest and knew nothing about storage. This video was a great help!
Thanks. I have gardened for years and do all this as needed, but you really helped me just put it in a clear step by step order and organized it for me and others! Cal
Thank you! This is my first year growing onions instead of scallions, and this is the best video I've come across.
Thank you SO MUCH. I've planted many store bought onions that began to sprout and have gotten them to grow large stalks, but haven't had much luck in getting them to go to bulbs. Last year was the first time I harvested some small red onions and will replant the ones that resprouted. My other onions have given to flower, to seed and new shoots but I've watched many videos saying that from seed it takes up to 2 years to actually get a bulb, so I just leave them in the grow, use the green tops as needed, but I sure would love to have some bulbs. I have mine in smart lots and don't see the bulb above ground, only when I dig about half inch I see the bulbs, so maybe I just need to keep at it and hopefully once these stalks fall over l'll get a harvest. I'm going to cry with joy because it's been a long journey with mine.
hi am from Uganda very interested in onions growing am glad I learnt how to do it hope to post ma video of success
2 years later... This user has no content
J O' Moore: Probably also has no onions, lol.
Thank you! I'm growing onions for the first time this year😊
Please more of these videos! They’re extremely helpful!
Great helped me alot my first year growing enough to harvest and my soil was rich and they are doing great like yours in the video. We didnt know the tops were supposed to fall, we thought animals were pushing them over. That knowledge alone is so helpful. Thank you for sharing!
I am very glad the video helped. Thank you.
Definitely one of the best gardening videos i have seen!
Thank you for this video. This is my first time trying Onions. I really needed these harvest tips. Glad I found your channel.
When did you plant your sets?
Thank you so much. This is my 1st year growing onions.
Thank you so much I am a virgin onion grower you have help me with my cherrie. Nice work.
i just harvested them 2 mins ago! thank you for helping!
Your video told me exactly what I needed to know. First time growing my own onions and needed the help. I had no idea when to harvest them lol Thank you for taking so much time to make a great video.
Boil the tops for just a little while and then let it sit overnight and the water will turn dark and it's the best fertilizer
I planted some onion sets like 4 years ago. They are not in the ground ,I put them in planters. They didn't do well at all. I'm not a farmer in no means. Now I have better idea so will attempt it again. You're awesome. Got to be more attentive this time.
still eating onions from last year! Just planted 48 potatoes yesterday and will be putting in 200 onions (red, yellow, white) this weekend. :)
Thats was really helpful. Nice to have so much in one video.
Wow. Great instructional video, learned how to improve growing my onions. Thanks!
Thank you cuz I was never really sure when they were ready. Good video.
Thank you, The onions turned out great and I am still eating them. Another month and a half and I get to plant more of them for this year. Glad I could be of some help. Joe
Thank You for this video. I had planted onions one year and really did not have a clue on when to tell they were ready to be picked. And would not have known to dry them out. Just happened by luck I did pick some and now I see it was at the right time. Once I picked them I really did not need them for a while so guess by luck I did it right. But now that I really know the steps to take I will be doing it the right way next time.
BTW really like your Garage set up that you used to store the onions on and the way you did your walls. You mentioned a dehydrator what one do you use. Been really thinking of getting one.
Tom Wannamaker Here in Minnesota it is almost time to plant my onions again for this year. I hope you all have good luck growing yours. Onions are a coool weather plant so get them in early. The dehydrator I have Deana is an Excalibur but any dehydrator will work including the hot summer sun. Make sure whatever you use you put it outside when doing onions because everyone in the house will be "crying " if you dont lol. Thank you. Joe
Thank you so much we have just got an allotment
And still learning about growing
We are growing onions and garlic
If your garlic does not do good this year, leave it in the ground and do not till that area.It will come up nice and strong next year.
great info thanks for the help, I'm growing onions for first time this year so now I feel like I know more what I'm doing.
You an Alien....
bro???
Thank you so much !!! I can now teach my kids how to grow and store Onions. Have a Blessed day...
Hi Joe, I'm from South East Kentucky, the way we do our onions is we take a bunch and tie a string around the tops, hang them up to dry. Works out very well. We have onions all year long.
Thank you so much for this free and valuable onion planting lesson.
Liked your presentation. Many thanks for the useful and concise advices.
Getting my first onions harvest this year !
Usually harvest 24 weeks ( 6 months) from sowing...
I haven't planted an abundance of onions because I wasn't sure about how to pull, process and store them. You have explained and shown me how. Thank you for doing this video. It was the most informative I have seen on the subject. Now I can plant onions with confidence. Take care.
This was the first video that I find simple and very informative. Thank you it help me allot. I never grew onions before.
Vườn rau nhà anh tuyệt vời quá.
Just what I wanted to know. Thanks a lot sir!
Hi, thank you for a very informative video. Right now I'm drying my garlic and onions. I was not sure about the drying time. I had them in the patio on full sun. Now I know better, thanks. Blessings Laura M
Thank you for your time and wisdom.
I have previously tried to find information on growing and storage of onions without much luck. Your video is wonderfully simple and full of the exact details that I have been looking for . I have my bag of onion sets and am excited to try again this year to grow one of my favorite vegetables.
I had previously been told that pantyhose are great for use in the storage of onions. (Put one in, tie a knot, put another one in, tie another knot, and so on, then just hang them on a hook from a rafter in the basement). What do you think of this idea?
Thanks much. We've got a nice crop going right now, but I didn't know what to do next and you've answered every question I had.
Beautiful stash of onions for the winter!
Thank you for the video!
Thoroughly enjoyed the video. Not too long, all the information I wanted & needed, right to the point. Thank you!
Great video- you are an excellent instructor and should be getting paid to teach. I am a 20-year condo-dweller who until recently has never had the opportunity for a backyard or any space/proper lighting grow a garden. Thank you for posting such great tips and tricks!
Great video. Many useful tips, thanks. Just a reminder that leaf crops are traditionally harvested in the late afternoon when the plant's energy is up in the leaves and root crops are harvested early in the morning when the plant's energy is in the root.
Thank you, this was really helpful! We have had both great & awful yields for years, but gleaned enough just in this 12 min video to know where we went wrong. Fairly new to UA-cam, too. Do you have a site that sends out periodic email or what...
Living here in Minnesota like you do, its nice to see gardening videos about my area. It gets frustrating when you watch a video from someone from somewhere else in the country and try and do what they are doing and your garden turn to Crap! (which mine did last year, but it was my first year also). I also like how well you explain all the steps that go into each thing your trying to raise. Thanks for the info and I will be giving my garden another try this year.
P.S. I just hit the subscribe button! Please keep up the videos, they are very informative.
"Be wary wary quite, I'm hunting rabbits." I need their turds for fertilizer. Lol. On a serious note, I agree with the other comments. One of the best videos out there. Great job!!!!!!!!
Great instructions.
One difference with ours is that we wait a bit longer to pull, if ground not too moist. Then, spread somewhere where there's good air circulation and protection from heavy dew. Usually this time of year, there's a heavy dew every morning. Don't put into final storage until there's a thread of freezing.
Finally someone telling me when I can pull my onions out , thank you
I am glad I could help. Thank you fir commenting.
Excellent video. I am growing onions for the first time and I’m at the stage where I have the green leaves (looks like green onions) I didn’t know what this stage meant. Now I do. Thanks. Your potatoes video was helpful as well. You explain very well and have excellent visual so everything flows and make sense, thanks.
And, I’m growing my onions and potatoes in a planters box.
Kudos for making such an informative and very good video. I appreciate that the whole video is actually multiple videos you have taken over time, you also explain things very well, your words are very articulated, and you give tips. Thank you!
Nice
Information
Thank you for such an informative video. I had no idea how to harvest my onions.
You are very welcome
You know your onions! Thanks from Great Britain.
Great video. Thanks for sharing your knowledge. Being a city folk, I don't think I will ever grow any onions, but it is good to know how it's grown. Thanks again.
Great video. This is my first year doing onions in my garden here in Missouri, and this was incredibly helpful. Thank you!
Wonderful onions! I planted onions for the first time this year and it was a big failure. I will try again next year. I read a book and it suggested to grow a variety that will grow better in my area (zone 4a). It said that Stuttgarter sets will also do better and it will serve well as a storage onion.
Great video!
Thank you from the UK
You answered every question I had about growing onions. Thanks!
Very helpful video. I'm growing onions for the first time so looking forward to benefiting from the process.
Thanks for this video - I'll keep watching my onions through each process.
I really enjoyed this video. Thank you so much for the information. I live in an apartment but my land lord allows me planters outside. I'm going to have fun trying to grow these.
You should have good luck. Thank you Jennifer for the nice comment. Joe
They are BEAUTIFUL!!! OMG I just cannot wait until its time to plant this year 2019. We recently moved so I haven't been able to have a garden for the last 2 seasons. This year is gunna be AWSOME!!!
Real helpful video i'm new to growing onions they started to grow did not know what to do now I do thank you
Very helpful. I grew some red onions in raised garden box and now know they are not ready harvest. They still have a very thick stalk and the bulb isn't all that much bigger than the stalk is. The green part is still strong, but they have begun to grow little onions (or something) at the very top of the green stalks. So now I know to wait until the green is drier and has begun to fall over.
Thank you, I am growing onions for the first time and found your video extremely helpful!!
it made me cry
+bourbonfan1 They always do. Sniffle sniffle. LOL.
WINNER!
nice how to Joe. I'm one of those people that can't grow onions. But, I read a book on it this year and grew some from seed. The book said basically the same as you showed. I was going to push my onions over today. Thanks for sharing!
Thanks for the education. Just the extra info I needed
Thanks so much . Decided I'd try my luck at green fingers this year. Best and most informative video I've seen about onions so far .
I love looking at your onion harvest. Thank you.
Another great video, thank you for sharing. as others have mentioned, you are a great teacher.
Thanks for posting. I am growing onions for the first time this year and this was helpful, especially as I am getting near harvest.
Kip Lowery This years harvest is growing in my garden right now. Good luck with yours. Thank you for the nice comment. Joe
Thank you so much for going through the whole process. It's my first time growing onions and I had no idea when to pull them, ect. Very helpful.
you was very good at explaining when the onions are ready to harvest , thank you for sharing and I appreciate the subtitles too, great to understand and follow what was being said.
They most informative video of come across on UA-cam about onions. I have some growing right now and had a lot of questions that you answered sir.
I liked the way you walked us through the process. Great video!
Thank you Theresa I hope it helped you with your onion growing. Joe
Thank you for such a clear and informative video. I really appreciated your showing the onions in the ground as the bulbs formed. I have found it difficult to decide when to harvest. Now, I have a much better idea.
Thanks so much. This is my first year growing onions, very helpful
I love you guys! Thank you for your continued contribution to humanity & nature lovers everywhere. God bless you & yours abundantly!
Grouse, helpful, did not know what to look for. Now hopefully i may be on my way to be a good gardener, first year at growing many of vegies.
Great video. I appreciate the time you put into this video to explain the life cycle of an onion. I’m trying to grow onions from a sprouted onion so you have helped a lot. Thank you!
I am insanely jealous of your tomato plants. Had to do mine in pots and they are doing okay but I doubt they will be as handsome as those plants!
So VERY helpful. Thanks for sharing! Beginning gardener here and videos like yours are invaluable! Side note; you're one of the few people who mentions the possibility there may be other weather conditions in the world! I live in Southern AZ. We get VERY hot in summer and don't have much of a winter. So different growing cycles here. It can make growing certain things confusing/difficult at times. Nice to know our onions seem to be on track & looking fine so far.
+Laura Mather Thank you so much for the nice comment. I am doing a season long video like this on the life cycle of a potato that I will post this fall after harvest. My girlfriend Melissa lives in Louisiana and I spend my winters down there with her and its a very different growing season compared to here in Minnesota. Its fun to learn the different ways things have to be done. Thank you Laura. Joe
best video I've found so far on all about onions. Fabulous. Thanks
Great video! Thanks for the info!
Wow this video was PACKED with new info for me!! Thank you
Great video... First year with onions and your video helped, thanks
Thank you so much for this video - I did exactly how you described and my harvest is fabulous! I had some onions in ground left over from last year (on purpose) and those have made onions the size of softball! Can I post a photo? I, again, want to thank you for all the info in this video!
Thank you! This was well made, very informative! You helped me to better understand how to get my onions ready for winter, and I'm grateful to have found it.
You are very welcome. Thank you for watching.
Zach
This video was super helpful, thank you! You make the best videos, it's so wonderful to see the entire life cycle through harvest and storage.
Thanks for the video. This season will be my first onion season and I was worried about how to do it right but after watching this I feel like I'm ready to try it.
Great step by step on how to harvest those onions! Keep them videos coming!
Super helpful for the storage process! Best video I've found so far. Thanks!
Matt Heiner Thank you for the nice comment Matt. I am glad I could help. Thanks again. Joe
wow look at those beautiful tomatoes also! OH YEAH Miracle grow in the background
Thank you so much that was great info as I planted the onions for the first time this year
Wow, I learned sooo much. Thank you!!
thank you for this video. I've never grown onions before, but I'm soo ready to my kids,& I just love raw onions. I have a few I got from a store that look like baby red onions they said I just clip the tops,& plant them that they well grow for me. wish me luck lol.
+Stephanie Wallace Good luck, they will grow just fine. I hope this video gave you some tips. Thank You. Joe
+Stephanie Wallace I have not had success with onions, other than green bunching types, so I've been surfing UA-cam for help. One article said that doing this will likely just make small onions that go directly to seed because they are biannuals and will make seed in the second year. Good luck.
excellent video thank you so much. I am growing onions for the first time this year and this video was so informative
Nice video.
Well explained on how to know when to harvest an onion and how to cure it for storage.
Fantastic video!! Onions are growing in my community garden plot I just inherited so I needed some tips on what to do with them. Thank you for this!!
Great video man. Thanks for taking the time to make this.
Thank you for the helpful video. It's very useful for a first-time gardener!
The simplicity here is gold. Nice video.
That was a really good video! Thanks for taking the time to put that together. Very helpful!
