How I Plant My Cherry Tomatoes
I plant my cherry tomatoes in the same places every year, at the ends of rows of other vegetables. At the end of summer, when I pull that season's tomato vines, I leave some of the whole cherry tomatoes on the ground. The following spring, I thin the plants that grow, and have tomato vines for that season.
It is much easier than starting them in the basement and transplanting.
Why don't I do the same with my regular tomatoes? Those I start indoors to give them a head start. That way they're 6-12 inches by the time I plant after last frost. If the weather keeps warming, and spring start earlier, at some point in the future I may try the same over-winter planting style with my regular tomatoes.

Testing Seeds for Viability and Germination Rate
มุมมอง 2321 ชั่วโมงที่ผ่านมา
On August 25, 2024 I started a test of my potato onion and shallot seeds for viability and germination rate. Final Count on 9/4/2024: Yellow potato onions - 17 of 20 seeds sprouted - an 85% germination rate. Red Dutch Shallots - 15 of 20 Red Dutch shallot seeds sprouted - a 75% germination rate. Nero Shallots - nine of 10 Nero shallot seeds sprouted - a 90% germination rate. These are the seeds...
Vertical Squash and Zucchini
มุมมอง 88วันที่ผ่านมา
First time growing squash and zucchini vertically. In the past I grew it along the ground and it covered the walkways, making it difficult to care for and harvest. Vertical is now my preferred way of growing squash and zucchini. Also, 2024 is the second year I planted squash and zucchini toward the end of July in the spaces in which I harvested onions.
DIY Raspberry Trellis

I designed my own raspberry trellis, and show you how to build it. This design allows the trellis to be moved in the future. The cross-arms can be adjusted up or down, depending on the height of the raspberries. I use turnbuckles so the wires can be detached. It's all metal, so nothing will rot over time like wood trellises. Cost: $110.89, plus tax, plus the cost of the conduit. I used the foll...
Prepping Beans for Bean Soup

Harvesting, drying and prepping beans to be canned for bean soup. After harvesting, eating and canning beans all season, I let the beans go for roughly a month so they would be large and start drying on the plants. When the leaves started to yellow, I harvested two bushels of beans, which were then placed on a drying rack. The beans were then removed by stepping on the pods and winnowing the ex...

Walking Onions
มุมมอง 5842 หลายเดือนก่อน
On my site I state, "...walking onions are not multiplier onions...They produce bulbils on top of a stalk and when a bulbil is planted, it will produce a single onion." During 2023 I received an email from a woman in New Zealand who said, "Our [walking onions] do reproduce just like the potato onion in the ground bulbing out from one onion or from one bulbil we will get a whole cluster of onion...

Preparing cured garlic for long-term storage by cutting off the stems and roots, then rubbing off a couple layers of skins.

Tree Line Reduction

I had a dozen large trees along the edge of my property that were leaning toward and hanging over the neighbor's house and garage, so I made the decision to have them cut down to six feet. During subsequent years, I will prune the new branches that sprout from them and keep them as bushes. An added bonus is that I will not have more hours of direct sunlight on the garden. As they were chipping ...

Green Mountain Potato Onion 2024 Harvest
Cool! I did this earlier in the summer with overripe cucumbers and I think every single seed in them sprouted! lol I’ll have to give the tomatoes a try 👍👍
I've been doing this with my cherry tomatoes for decades and never thought of doing it with other veggies. Trying a regular tomato this fall. I'll have to add cucumber to my list of experiments. Thanks
Nice harvest!
Yes, thank you
❤❤❤❤
You are so skillful, the food looks delicious. It was a pleasure to meet and connect with you, wish you good health.❤
Glad you enjoyed.

Impressive garden! Great video but the quality was low ie. it was very pixilated and a lot of the details of your garden were blurry. You may want to check your export and upload settings.
I checked your other videos and the quality is good on those.
I tried something different and it didn't work. Thanks for the tip!
I have to say I really enjoying your videos do you have a way for people to buy seed from you
@user-wg3xu2um9s thanks I'm glad you're enjoying! I will not be selling seeds from this batch. This is my first successful harvest of seeds. Next step is to test the seeds for germination rate and viability (video will be posted in a couple of weeks when the test is complete). If any sprout, I will then grow them to be sure they produce strong, desirable plants. It's the wrong time of year to be planting, so second test will be January 2025 for spring planting.
must be alot of vareietys of walking onions, i have 3 different cultivars and they grow diffrent clusters of bulbilles,havent chect the splitting ratio\bulbs on the different yet. i heard they are a hybride of cepa and welsh onion, but im not a specialist. Heirloom naturally vegetabels have some great ones, saadly i cant order from australia :):) and a guy named stephen barstow looks after the onion garden : chicago \ ringve botanical garden \ trondheim orway. they are both on youtube. thank you for sharing
Yes, I'm sure there are many varieties of walking onions around the world. Thanks for pointing out barstow and trondheim! Happy gardening!
That's a good yield, I just ordered some myself. By the way, Filaree Farms is located in Washington State, not California.
Yes, I'm pleased with the harvest. Good luck with yours, and thanks for the correction 🙂
You've got an amazing set up. :D
Thanks. Took many years and much trial and error to get here, and I'm happy with the results.
i have first years growin now!:)got seeds from irland together with som withe potato onion bulbs, the bulbs went "glazy" and smelly, orderd 20 got 5 and all ended bad..tried again orderd 4 types from uk, got wat i orderd, all loked god. lost two vareietys tru winter\early spring, now i think the 2 types that got tru winter, look more like shallots.... live and learn i guess:) anyway, some have flowers and i wonderd if its tru that potato onions make a flower stock\scape from the rot plate and not the center of the bulb like a cepa ore a shallot? then i can figure out wat i have, wen i harvest the flowering bulbs:) and thank you from me here in norway\bergen, for sharing many god videos, like the way you folow up your crop with the hole cyclus in one video. have a god weekend
Hi Jane, Thanks for the comment. Glad you're enjoying the videos. All of my potato onions, as well as the Nero shallots, grow their seed stalks on the side of the bulbs, not through the center. I've heard of a Norwegian variety of potato onion in which the seed stalk grows through the center of the bulb instead of up the side of the bulb. If I remember correctly, that Norwegian variety is a biennial onion, not a multiplier.
That’s a nice garlic harvest. I decided to phase out one of my varieties too. The Chesnok Red that I grow here in Canada is clearly a different cultivar than the ones I see gardeners growing in the States, much smaller! I added a huge new Porclain variety called Big Boy, the largest garlic I have ever grown!
I also discontinued Chesnok this season; too small. It will be interesting to learn if your new Big Boy is as flavorful as some of your smaller varieties. If you think of it, let me know :)
@@PotatoOnionGuy I will try to remember! My sister grew it last year and thought the taste was really good. We got the seed garlic from John Boy Garlic Farms, they say that if they could only have one garlic this would be the cultivar! I haven’t tasted it yet, I only have a couple of bulbs to eat, most of the harvest went into expanding production! Klaus
Awesome harvest!
You should sell some and then get a camera that has some quality to it. Looks like you’re using VHS from the 80s. 😜
Thanks. Been wondering about that. Shooting with iPhone defaults. After this comment I have changed to 4K. Should make a significant difference during the 2025 season and beyond.

Thank you for posting this video. I just picked up some potato onion seeds the other day, and should probably start them this weekend.
At what point do you plant them outside?
Ideally, seedlings should be transplanted when temperatures remain above 46°F (8°C) at night. Consistent exposure to temperatures below 50°F (10°C) for more than 10 days can cause onions to bolt rather than producing big bulbs. Onion seedlings can be planted in the ground 4-6 weeks before last frost.
Everyone is sold out. can I buy from you?
Sorry, currently I am not selling any of my produce, including potato onions.
