When To Harvest Onions & How To Cure Them!
Вставка
- Опубліковано 30 чер 2023
- Harvesting and curing onions is easy and quite satisfying to do. Usually we eat through a good portion of these before they get a chance to even cure! This year the onion harvest was decent overall, the heavier than usual rains led to fungal issues like rust and my foolish planting of tall plants in front of these really stunted their overall potential. I am still quite happy with the total harvest especially considering how many we have already grilled up as spring onions.
When curing the goal is to allow the necks and roots to dry back so that many protective papers can form allowing you to store your onions for a long time. Shade and airflow are key to good curing, you don’t want to instantly cure them but slowly without much heat which will spoil the flavor!
Love your videos. All the info I need without any unnecessary “fluff”.
Those are excellent sized onions 🧅! Don’t let Kevins get you down on yours. I’d be ecstatic to get onions as big as yours!
That has a whole different meaning 😂😂
Is “onions” a term for male genitalia?!?
@@AJBuddha no, kinda, Kevin from epic gardening was teasing Jacques about growing bigger onions than him, but his are a very respectable size.
Without discouraging you from living your own life, I gotta say that I am really thankful you left grad school and became a gardening educator! You teach me so much, and even though I can’t have a garden right now, I’m taking notes for a year from now when I begin planting! ❤
The bleeding part is awesome. A great visual that signals that the onion is not fully cured.
Your videos are so educative and relaxing. Always such beautiful scenery. I don't even garden, but I enjoy your videos so very much.
Such a good video! My onions are not large enough yet but this is good info for when harvest time comes around
This brings back happy childhood memories.. whenever I went to my great uncle’s house I’d immediately go to the garden (after receiving permission) and grab an onion (somehow was always massive) which I then took back happily to be washed and peeled by an adult as I couldn’t use a knife (it was a rule.. to be fair I was like 8) and was too short to reach the sink.. every time they asked if I wanted to share with anyone and I’d just happily say no and start eating it like an apple. Now that I’m looking back they probably were asking if I wanted to share because they were always the biggest ones + I wasn’t the only kid that liked the onions as they always taste better fresh.
Also all of us kids would wander into the woods to locate the raspberry and boysenberry bushes.. they didn’t really care because they’re not their bushes and are native to this region. The way we’d tell the difference is one of us would pick a red berry from a bush and eat it if it was sweet the berries of the same bush got put in the raspberry cup if it was sour the opposite.. boysenberries are sweet ripe but we like sour fruit too and it was safe to eat unripe
My eldest son would eat onions like apples when he was little 😂
I love your videos too. I wondered about curing them. Why, for how long, etc. Now, thanks to you! Thanks young sir. ❤😊
I braid my long onion necks and then hang them to cure. I also do the same for my garlic
@MikkiandAngel. Do you cure them outside in the shade for air flow?
Such an informational video!! Thank you!
I love your videos...full of useful
Info and no click bait...
If you have to harvest early because of weather, "wet" uncured onions make great soup or jam!
I would love information on bunching onions, I don’t have room for bulb onions and I have heard onions are great companion plants.
Best videos ever!!!
Useful information! Thanks!
Great tips 👍🏻
Thank you
Thanks for sharing this yes i want onion's to last for awhile 👍
Thank you!!
Use the green stalks to make green jerk seasoning

Thoughts on dry plaiting the stork for curing?
i can imagine trixie mattel looking at that onion and going "ok flop" 😂💖
Snack on an onion like an apple, delicious
This is so informative, thank you! ❤😊
Awesome tip! Many thanks
Nice
I’ve seen someone else recommended flopping the onion necks over by hand when a good chunk of them are already flopped over…then leave it for another week or so before harvesting
strong winds in my area did this for me recently. unfortunately they also bent over some of the small ones, and they just don't get back up once they're down
Excellent Presentation!❤I learnt so muCh from youR wonderful Video!😀ThaNKz deeply foR sharinG your awesome tipS on how to store Onions Properly!👍ShiNe on YounG One and HaVe a Blessed LiFe!✌🤓🙏😇🌹🌞🌹☕🍵☕🎋🐞🦋🦜
Can you do some content about pest control? I have major issues with caterpillars eating both my cabbages and onions
How long did it take to grow those babies
Jacquesi. Correct name? You are the first to suggest waiting until neck at onion joint should completely dry for longer storage. Thank you.
I don't grow onions but that's amazing advice
my grandma used to hang her onions on her upper cabinet handles, and I never knew why. now I'm guessing it was to cure them
Thank you!
I always just hang them from ceiling in my garden shed to dry
Would setting up in like a shed with a fan be alright you reckon? Feel like only downside would be the humidity... only asking as my house doesn't have much shade outside 😊
How do u grow them....soil, fertile etc.
We’ve had a crap ton of rain and the tops have flopped and they just began to form bulbs…should I harvest them soon?
Wait, THAT'S how onions grow? Why did I always just assume that the bulb part was fully underground 🤯
i think they start out fully underground but come further and further out of the ground as they grow.
Great video
❤ thank you
I have onions that I left in the ground from last year because they were small and thought I would experiment and see what happened. There's still alive, what should I expect moving forward with them? I don't want them to take up valuable bedspace if they're not going to turn into something good. Do I keep them in the ground or pull them?
What time do you plant your onions and when do you harvest?
Different times for different zones
By your name I take it your in south Texas
Onions are a summer/fall crop mostly
I’m in 7A (Moore,Oklahoma)
And I plant mine in June and harvest in august early September
Now if I wanted a extra harvest I could have planted in late April early may but most importantly it depends on your weather
You want to make sure your past your last freeze date
Onions love love love heat and it actually makes for a more flavorful onion ..
Happy gardening
I’m on the central Oregon coast.. sort of 🤔 inland just enough to get some good warm weather from now until mid September or so with a few showers thrown in there about. Is it too late for me to plant onions? I would love to have some that last thru the winter. But if it’s too late for that, will I still be able to have them grow enough to eat right away? Or is it too late?
@southtexan1761. Short day onion. or medium day. Look it up.
@@Emporium-Empire I believe Moore is 7b. I know Norman is.
Yes I'm in South Texas. Corpus Christi area. Zone 9. Thank you for all the comments..It has been so hot here that my onions that I have planted are dying, so I have moved them to containers into the shade..they're doing a lot better. I also use soil that's made for Palm trees. The soil's loose, and they're growing like weeds along with my garlic. I have sandy loam soil here when it dries out, it's hard as a rock.
I had no idea they needed to cure
what about when you have to harvest early because of white rot?
I have a large cucumber vine that only has male flowers. It's been weeks and no females in sight, should I pick them?
Good stuff. I cure and store mine upside down with everything still attached.
? Upside down? You hang them by the root? Sorry, I'm still new. I can't wait until it's time to do fall/winter season.
@@clynthia0510 Not by the roots but so that the bulbs sit into a hole or slot just big enough, like fencing for example.
@@lemonyskunkketts7781 isn't all the flavor just gonna flow back to the stem?
No it just prolongs shelf life as well.
Will it grow if you plant the stem??
Can you please tell me when I know when my garlic is ready to harvest
What if your onions greens are blown over by the wind, will they grow more,?
Does this ring true for hardneck varieties?
Do you have a full video on how to grow a good sized onion?
Wish my crop didn't get the dreaded onion thrip infestation ,sounds like mind wont store well because they didnt mature properly.
Probably a dumb question, but when curing vegetables like this is there anything you do to prevent wildlife from munching on them?
Mine never droop they just start flowering
Can the green tops used as spring onions and leave a bit of it attached to cure?
Yes! If you want to use the greens just cut the individual leaves down to where they meet the stem. Don't cut into the stem, though.
Or store them with charcoal for longer shelf life
How do you know if your onion is big enough to harvest even if the neck hasn't fallen down? I've had onions growing since January but the necks are still strong. Please help
How long is “quite a while?” 1 month or 4 or 7 or 13?
Is that a sweet vadalia onion?. My fav yellow onion by far!
snack on an onion???🤨🤔🤢
I love me some onions, but not as a snack
How long do they last tho?
Do you store your red onions and yellow onions the same? My red onions don't keep very well.
My man play real life harvest moon
I wanna know who you give your blue feather? 👀
Ohhhhhhh
Snack on a onion ? What is this holes ?
What if your onion has flowers
What does it mean when they flower on the end of the neck?
It means the onion has reached the end of its growth cycle and is ready to produce flowers and seeds. When this happens the plant funnels all its energy from the bulb into the flowers, and the bulb can actually decrease in size. you can either harvest it then, let it go to seed for next year, or remove the flower stem and try to get some more growth out of the bulb/plant, though i've found that they don't usually last much longer after that
@@its_just_seb Thanks!
how do you keep people from stealing your onions during curing?
can i put onions on the freezer?
Yup! I like to chop them up first so they are easy to use and take up less space
Aren’t onions toxic to most animals therefore naturally long lasting in storage?
so im burying my onion too deep 🤔
