Didn’t know we could harvest green onion leaves continuously from same plants. Perfect timing, I’m sowing mine indoors tomorrow. Thank you for the great tips and tricks.
Tip: Cheap/free indoor green onion planters can be had from buying lettuce in plastic tubs from the grocery store. They're about 6" x 12", 5-"-6" deep. They're a little flexible, but surprisingly tough. I have a single LED bulb (verified full spectrum) and my onions grow superbly all year round.
I tried growing green unions in the winter when there was frost outdoors And they did great They are I think the most easiest thing to grow Great video 👍
adding a comment for great content... I am trying to watch every video you have man. I watch hundreds of hours of gardening videos and you by far are my fav. My goal is to get a like on every one of your vids and comment a long the way. I even get you a few commercial watches to try and help, its the least I can do! Thanks man!
I grew bunching onions last year; but, started with starter plants that I got from the garden department at one of the department stores here in town, either BiMart or Fred Meyer. This video was very helpful.
@@TheRipeTomatoFarms No, I didn't keep them going. I ate them all. Not all at once; but, it was my first time growing any kind of onion and I have learned more now; so, if I ever got in a place where I could grow them again, I would try that.
I've spread seeds like you did, and I've _'bunched'_ 6-8 seeds is small craters. Without question, bunching the seeds gives me better results. They seem to like being on top of each other. _(probably why they're called 'bunching onions')_
Evening hope the wind wasn’t too brutal the other day and didn’t damage your property. It blow here but thank goodness our garden/poly tunnel are mostly protected by cedar trees. Good timing I’m doing some onions from seeds soon(this week). As always stay safe and stay gardening 🇨🇦🥬🥕☮️🙏🍆🌶
Green onions are so fun/forgiving: we had grocery store green onions in water on window sill this spring. they were looking rough, so I stuffed them in teh dirt at base of back steps. Then this fall I harvested... and many are back in water on window sill... and might make it back to soil in spring LOL
I have been growing mine from seeds, watering them i think the right amount and getting enough light, but they have sections drying and dying. Is it normal? Should i trim the seedling? Would it help them get stronger? I cant seem to grow real big scallions. Please help!
@@TheRipeTomatoFarms This is good to know. Also, another question concerning the green onion’s little cousin, chives. I’m growing a pot of those indoors mostly right now. My green onions pot is still currently outside for the time being. I want both to harden off so it’s feeling like a race against mother nature’s timing on that end. Problem is that the only two people in my house who are doing gardening is me and my mom. But we both work as well and therefore don’t always have the time every day to move pots out or around the house to the areas that have sunlight. The other person in the household wants absolutely nothing to do with gardening so mom and I can’t even trust them to move pots around or outside. So I only have 2 days off and I use a grow light for my chives. The grow light I only use for evening and nighttime hours so the seedlings continue to grow. So I guess my question to you is how you get around the issue of hardening your green onions off (or any other vegetables that you grow indoors) for the winter?
I don't make my own soil. But I would love for you to suggest a store-bought soil that will be good for this scenario. (I will still add the 10% sand) THANK YOOOUU
Hey JaLisa, I like Sea Soil as both a compost source and their potting mix..but they are local to me and likely not available everywhere. Try local sources if you can.. I find the big commercial brand are really bad for fungus gnats and stuff like that.
Hey! If you're interested, I can suggest 2 potting mixes. Farfard, and ProMix. I don't have the space to make my own, and have used (and reused) these 2 brands for about 6 years now. I've never had a problem with bugs or gnats. I also suggest you stay FAR away from Miracle-Gro, which is infested.
Hi, thanks for this video. I have been growing Spring onions indoors in the UK since over winter time. They are all about the same size as in your video around 4:57mins. However, they seem to be stuck at this stage for some time, they grow longer but are very thin and the stalks are drooping. The leaves are still green. Is there any way to fix this? I used regular herb compost and vermiculite mixture as the soil and water it infrequently, it seems to get decent sunlight as on windowsill. There are about 17 sprouts from seedlings now all within the a 5 inch pot. Any tips would be helpful on how to make sure they grow more/straighter? Should I just trim all the tips about 1 to 2 inches and wait more? Thanks in advance!
I just bought a small plant at Walmart and it already has the stems growing not fully grown yet,should I just leave them in the pot,or transfer to a bigger plot?? Also don't want to plant them outdoors rather plant inside... Please get back to me .. I loved your video..
My onions are growing in all purpose soil that is pre-fertilized but are droopy and yellowing at the tips any suggestions? Theyre not to old either just transplanted them from the grocery store
My garlic chive seeds seem to not be germinating is there something special that I can do to help them out. As always Jeff stay safe and stay gardening 🇨🇦✌️☮️🥬🌶🥕🍆
Hey Ali, a lot of actual Garlic is inherently sterile. So sometimes the seeds won't germinate. Try doing the wet paper towel method to see the seed viability and rule out soil problems. Cheers!
Right on man, definitely one of the easier plants to grow. I like doing them from the cut ends, but its nice to just put a million seeds out there and watch them grow sometimes!
Oh man! I thought we'd finally get to see your regrowth onions you started last March! Are you going to be showing your updates soon? You were going to be doing your part 3 update in the summer. We've already had a couple frosts and snow...not good when you're still waiting for updates lol.
I'm growing some on my windowsill from grocery store cuttings right now. If I trim the side stalks like that will I eventually have to pull them out and start from the white root again or will it just go indefinitely?
I know so many people like that! I usually grow from the white part because its so easy...but I made this video for people that love to eat that white part too! LOL!
How about Alberta canada weather? Will they survive during November till March with -25 degree with snow? Harvest it before winter grow back in march around zero to 10 degree? Thanks
Good morning. I started scallions from seeds in Jiffy Seed Starting Greenhouse Kit and they're now about 6 inches tall, BUT they're flopping over! What should I do????? Thank you!
Hi! Thank you for sharing this and the process 🙂 I am doing lots of research on taking care of the plants I have, as well as trying to grow spring onions from scraps. Would you say that 'Black Gold Natural and Organic Potting Mix Plus Fertilizer' is a good choice for the potting soil? I am considering using that and then mixing it with 10% Perlite.
Can we see the plant with the seeds attached to it? I'm growing several green onions from grocery store cuttings. They're still in water. I've already harvested some of the tall, green stalks, but there was not much onion flavor.
They are pretty undemanding. You can get away with just indirect sunlight. But for sure, if they have 4-6 hours of sun a day, they'll grow better/faster.
Do you need to put green onions under a grow light when growing indoors in the winter or will naturally light from a window still work? I have a grow light but I only want to use it for things that need it to grow properly.
I'm REALLY, really "a'huntin" for some information on the seeding/pollination topic- as I have some hydroponic green onions, 1 thats flowered on me- (I ATTEMPTED to force it to FLOWER) .. but NOW, I don't know if I should just use a paintbrush- as many people use paintbrushes to do a LOT of indoor pollinating- as others also use the hydro method for growing their indoor veggies/herbs... ...bc I can't necessarily just bring the WHOLE system- outdoors to get that 1 onion pollinated from the bees!

Thin them to the desired spacing by either pulling them up or cutting them at the root collar. You thin them so they grow properly as adult plants. Cheers!
My mom always cuts off leaves on onions that are supposed to grow bulbs and what happens the onions die because all the time the leaves get cut off like I mean always like when a new leave grows it gets cut off for harvest I asked her why she does that she says I heard that if you do that the bulbs will be bigger because there will be more energy going to the bulbs what always happens the whole plant dies because it doesn't get photosynthesis and no bulb harvest. THOSE FAKE NEWS ON WEBSITES OMG PLEASE STOP 😡 😔
Yeah, what you do with the bulb onions is to bend the stalks over about 2 weeks before harvest. Just like Garlic. That will send nutrients back the bulb and maximize the harvest. Do NOT actually cut the shoots.
Hi! I just started a week ago. They’re long and very thin, can I go ahead and trim them? Or leave them? They’re also in a small starter pot. Should I change that to bigger pot? Thank so much! I love your videos !
Hey Sherina, that happens sometimes to mine too. I think a change of soil to a bigger pot will help. Try not to over-water. Also, disturb the roots as little as possible, even though they are quite hardy. :-)
@@TheRipeTomatoFarms Thanks! Will sow the seeds the got from the store today. I'm debating with myself if I should plant them on cloth pots or recycled egg cartons. 😁
So, green opinions, bunching onions and scallions are all the same?? Are they all just immature or young onions? From any onions even could do red? A guy on another video said they, bunching onions, could be perennials. So,as you said, cut from the tops and leave the roots intact and they will just continue to grow? Thank you!
Hey Mary, great question. Green Onions are Scallions...they are the same thing. Bunching Onions are a type of Scallion originating from China. True Scallions and Green Onions are NOT immature bulb onions..they should never form a bulb, no matter how old they get. Scallions are indeed perennial....cut the green shoots off and they keep coming back....I have a patch that's 7 years old and I never do anything with it other than water a couple of times in the summer and mulch it heavily. :-)

What is mulch an can I buy it
What does trim the pot mean
I'm REALLY, really "a'huntin" for some information on the seeding/pollination topic- as I have some hydroponic green onions, 1 thats flowered on me- (I ATTEMPTED to force it to FLOWER)
.. but NOW, I don't know if I should just use a paintbrush- as many people use paintbrushes to do a LOT of indoor pollinating- as others also use the hydro method for growing their indoor veggies/herbs...
...bc I can't necessarily just bring the WHOLE system- outdoors to get that 1 onion pollinated from the bees!
(I have a TON of native, flowering varieties of flowers that I tossed out around my little stream that runs along the backside of my property- "MY land" [even tho, the "concept" of "humans OWNING land"- is quite A$S-backwards]
You "SEE", the "humans", CANNOT "OWN" a slab of Gaia! Thats NOT how it "works". Thats how the "capitalists" "believe" & "trust" that the "humans", will just- "following along"/"follow suit"!
This "paradigm", is not ONLY #OldAndOutDatedParadigm...
..but, FRANKLY, it NO LONGER "works", THAT👆"way".
The "humans", will VERY, very soon- figure this out! (If they havent- ALREADY- "figured it out" AAAND LOST "millions in 'revenue'/'profit'!)
The "system", that the "humans" are NKT taking into consideration- is that there's an ENTIRE "CATEGORY", that NO ONE-
...NOT "Medical Doctors"
...NOT "Herbologists"..
..NOT "agriculture", "ecologists", "environmentalists" (👈SOME, have 'figured' THIS out- but THEY won't "inform YOU", about "it")
...the "aspect" that I'm referring to-
...is the ELECTRO-MAGNETIC, aspects of not only the plants, animals, etc...
..but the "humans", AS WELL!
EVERY. SINGLE. ONE. OF. YOU.
..HAS BEEN, "carrying around" YOUR ENTIRE "Life's Experiences", within YOUR "AURA"!
(whats sh!tty- for ALLL of YOU- is that I HAVE HAD the ability to PHYSICALLY, "SEE"- ALLLLLL of YOUR "life experiences", that are held in proximity to 3 feet around your physical "body".. and when out, "in public"- I can "SEE" EVERY. SINGLE. "HUMANS"...
"AURA"!
From things that THEY have "struggled with", to things that THEY have "accomplished".
I can TELL YOU- YOU, are NOT giving YOU- "CREDIT", for the "things" that YOU, have accomplished, achieved, and have "overcome"!
A lot of this, is due to the- SO-CALLED #CulturalSocietysConditioning of YOU, as a "human"!
Whats "going on", right now- (AS I type THIS) IS, the #SeperationOfPeople and separation of family... in a way that the "system", CAN & WILL, take advantage of YOU!
"THEY" ("Gov") [REGARDLESS of your "country"] THIS, is being done on a mASS "scale"- ...bc "THEY", HAVE "figured out", that IF YOU "figure this out"...
"THEY" DONT WANT YOU, to "RE-claim", YOUR BIRTHRIGHT, YOUR INNATE, NATURAL USE- OF this "collective intelligence"!
Soooo....
"THEY", ARE using it, in a way that GOES AGAINST, what IS- "BEST" FOR YOU!
I KNKW, bc I have sat back, watched, observed and studied "human behavior", "subconscious programming/conditioning", and how this ALLL- affect, YOU!
...you ALL, HAVE been #SeverelyLiedTo and (so-to-speak) "put under THEIR spell"! (In a "world" full of DE-lusions, YOU- CANNOT BE, "an individual".
NOW, YOU MUST be an "intricate, moving ASS-et, for "the system" to continue "working" the way it DOES- so that "THEY" CAN KEEP taking advantage of YOU-
...NOT "knowing", what "THEY" ARE "up to"!
Its too bad, that I was 9 years old when I saw THIS- BUT, here "we" ARE, EVERYONE- STILL, "trusting" & "believeing" the "addict" "system"...
..that REFUSES to "ADMIT" that "THEY", HAVE A "PROBLEM"!
"CHANGE", CANNOT / WILL NOT "HAPPEN", UNTIL OR UNLESS-
...THE "ADDICT", "ADMITS" that "THEY" have a "problem" to BEGIN WITH!
...THE SAME, goes for the SO-CALLED, "Government" & "pharma"!
...but too many, of YOU- CANT/WONT- "take #responsibility" for YOUR OWN ACT-ions!
...MAINLY, bc so many of YOUR "lives" have been "built" on "LIES"! (AKA "Social Media", "world" that SOOO MANY of YOU, "believe" & "trust" is "TRUE"!)
YOUR OWN, "REP" IS- whats GOING to "suffer".
No one else! (Remember THAT!)
Green Onions, like all Alliums, are self fertile. You don't need to do the paint brush method.
Why do you thin them and how?
Thin them to the desired spacing by either pulling them up or cutting them at the root collar. You thin them so they grow properly as adult plants. Cheers!
My mom always cuts off leaves on onions that are supposed to grow bulbs and what happens the onions die because all the time the leaves get cut off like I mean always like when a new leave grows it gets cut off for harvest I asked her why she does that she says I heard that if you do that the bulbs will be bigger because there will be more energy going to the bulbs what always happens the whole plant dies because it doesn't get photosynthesis and no bulb harvest. THOSE FAKE NEWS ON WEBSITES OMG PLEASE STOP 😡 😔
Yeah, what you do with the bulb onions is to bend the stalks over about 2 weeks before harvest. Just like Garlic. That will send nutrients back the bulb and maximize the harvest. Do NOT actually cut the shoots.
@@TheRipeTomatoFarms You are the first one I know of who explained why to bend stalks over. And it makes sense. Thank you so much
I tried growing green onions indoors as well as outdoors, but the indoors ones kept drooping. The stalks were not strong like the outdoor versions.
What time of year? Did you grow from seed or from cuttings Adam?
@@TheRipeTomatoFarms from seed. I believe it was over the winter. Grew them in room temp conditions with grow lights.
@@adamtki likely too hot and not enough air motion
@@TheRipeTomatoFarms what temp is ideal? Do you use a fan to create a little wind?
I tried to plant green onions by cutting onion root but whenever it starts to grow up to 3cm it dries out I don't know what went wrong.
Do you start them in water first to get a full root system?
Hi! I just started a week ago. They’re long and very thin, can I go ahead and trim them? Or leave them? They’re also in a small starter pot. Should I change that to bigger pot? Thank so much! I love your videos !
Hey Sherina, that happens sometimes to mine too. I think a change of soil to a bigger pot will help. Try not to over-water. Also, disturb the roots as little as possible, even though they are quite hardy. :-)
@@TheRipeTomatoFarms yay thanks a lot 💋
@@sherinamarie87 no problem, best of luck!
💚
Green hearts for green onions! Love it!
Hi! Has anyone tried growing these on cloth bags/pots?
Yup, as long as there's drainage, they grow amazing in just about anything!
@@TheRipeTomatoFarms Thanks! Will sow the seeds the got from the store today. I'm debating with myself if I should plant them on cloth pots or recycled egg cartons. 😁
@@nl7426 they sprout and grow fast... Go straight to the grow bags. :-)
@@TheRipeTomatoFarms thank you so so much!!!
Hey...how come everyone gets a reply but me?! No updates yet?
Noice!
Ha ha thoinks! ;)
Yeah, they grow so fast, make me so happy at first, but some how i ended up make the sprout go dying, still can't find out is it the water or the soil
Dang, sorry about that Artorias. Could be over watering, could be how the soil ages (pH, aeration, etc).
WARNING: when left alone, chives can and will take over your garden and think it's free real estate.
Definitely! Especially when they pop seed! Containers is the way to go...no question.
So, green opinions, bunching onions and scallions are all the same?? Are they all just immature or young onions? From any onions even could do red? A guy on another video said they, bunching onions, could be perennials. So,as you said, cut from the tops and leave the roots intact and they will just continue to grow? Thank you!
Hey Mary, great question. Green Onions are Scallions...they are the same thing. Bunching Onions are a type of Scallion originating from China. True Scallions and Green Onions are NOT immature bulb onions..they should never form a bulb, no matter how old they get. Scallions are indeed perennial....cut the green shoots off and they keep coming back....I have a patch that's 7 years old and I never do anything with it other than water a couple of times in the summer and mulch it heavily. :-)
this not coming from garlic? onion there's flower on top of it 😮
I'm vä
Vg
Thanks for the video!
Cheers Taylor, thanks for watching! :-)
