Onion Playlist
th-cam.com/video/ldXMTh8hewo/w-d-xo.html
I love it! An entire playlist devoted to one type of food. So easy to learn and research this way! Thank you! 🧅
You get a huge harvest bc God is blessing your kindness to share with other. Beautiful thing
Got a link to the onion supplier? Those are GORGEOUS!!! ❣️🌱🧅🌱❣️ GOD BLESS YOU GUYS!!!!
Your set up is so beautiful and perfect!! I love you guys!!
💞You have the BEST videos for gardening that I've ever seen!!! Thank you for sharing your knowledge & helping the rest of us learn!!!
Very refreshing to hear a homestead channel promote helping the needy, family and friends by giving them vegetables rather than selling them.
One of my favorite channels!
You and Nancy are a blessing!
That’s a huge nice looking onion🧅! I like onions 🧅 and garlic 🧄 in just about everything I cook & raw in my salads. 🥗 they are good for you too 👍🏽 😋. I’m trying to grow a garden 🪴 like many people this year onions 🧅 & garlic 🧄 are definitely on the growing list 😊
Hollis the Texas sweet onion is one of my favorite onions besides the vidalia onions that come out of Georgia, your onions turned out fabulous.
Thank you for sharing ☕️🌄
Good evening from Coastal Georgia Zone 8B.
I’m always so impressed by how well you detail all of your teaching videos on gardening.
Thank you for all that you two do.
Those are some very nice onions! I am going to give your supplier a looksie. I already have some sets but ain't nothing wrong with more onions. Our family uses a lot. Gonna try my hand at leeks this year too.
Good job
Thank you
I bought some candy sweet onions from dixondale
that's nice sir that your crop of onion has done so good, I am in Austin Texas and I planted short day onion from Dixondale, they all are at seeding stage now! I am not happy
I just watched your bunching onion video and am hoping you can answer two questions. When you harvest the pots and have that root ball mixed with a bit of soil left over, what do you do with it? Second, how do you recover the soil that washes out, or do you reuse it at all? I ❤️ your planting and harvesting tables. Hope to have my own soon. God bless you, Nancy and her Mama, and Bing Bing.
Would a barn with ventilation work good for onions and potatoes?
Hollis, how did you hurt your back ? I can sympathize with you. By the way, I just love Nancy !
Lifting and stacking chicken feed and bags of cow manure. Moved several pallets into the barn so it wouldn’t get rained on after I had been cutting down trees and throwing the debris in the burn pit all day. My back was tired before I started moving the feed. The next day I could not get out of bed and could not walk for about two weeks. To this day my back has never really healed.
Grow in a bucket. Grow something. Just try, folks. My intent is… “if I can give away vittles… I’ll be eatin. Thank You, FATHER.”
Remember the onion wreaths in the pioneer homes?? God bless you in Jesus Christ's name Amen ♥️🙏
I watch y'all. I have the same sand problem as you. Big question, what do y'all do with all that food. Can you answer on this comment. Or one of your video mention it.
We talked about that on this video❤️
I love that you both take the time to create the video from start to finish, even if it means waiting for multiple seasons. This video was over a year in the making, but you show what no other channel can show in a short timespan. God Bless
i was going to say the same time. so many people start a series and leave it before getting to the important finish. TY!
This is this first channel I look to when searching how to grow something. It is incredibly helpful to have the entire process, start to finish, in one location! No need to search for follow up videos. Always learn something new from Nancy and Hollis!
Absolutely! These other homesteading channels bounce and go off topic. I have a hard time paying attention and following the videos. I love this channel
I love that you are donating to the needy. When you said “Be a blessing” that was very inspiring! I’m sure those people appreciate you greatly.
You just absolutely have the most Incredible setup there at your homestead with those gardens. Oh my gosh, that must be a dream come true for you. All that hard , back breaking work that you did to get it to this point has to be so worth it.
I’m a first time gardener, I’m making mistakes already, not patient with the weather, and not paying attention to the rules of when to start seedlings. I’m trying to be patient. Lots of learning and already looking forward to planting again next year.
Nancy, Thank you so much for dating the days! This helps so much knowing what month you two plant and then the dates that you harvest. Helps me plan and know when to start planting to try your techniques! Have a blessed day! ~Kelly
I adore Nancy’s mom. She just seems like she has a precious heart ♥️ blessings and abundance to everyone.
It is so refreshing to hear you say that you donate to family, friends and to the community soup kitchen. Bless you for your kindness and generosity.
I always grow more than we can eat which I do on purpose. My absolute favorite part of gardening is setting up a couple tables under my shade tree in the front yard and fill then with fresh produce for who ever wants it. I refuse to take any money for any of it. I built another 4' X 22' raised bed this year so I can give away more. God bless yall!
I truly RESPECT you and your wife. May God continue to bless y'all 🙏
Got mine from Dixondale this year and was blown away. Not only did they look fantastic and much better than the local starts but I couldn’t plant them right away and they held up for a month before they went in the ground and are doing awesome !!! Thanks for the recommendation ☺️
What a great couple! Mama looks like a strong little lady!!!
Keep up the great work with giving us instructions. I’m sure I’m not alone in saying that you’ve taught us a bunch.
God bless both of you!
Thank you Hollis & Nancy for all of the tips & tricks you have taught us (Mark & myself)! We have learned so much through your videos. :)
Once dried we plait the dried stems and hang them up in a dry ventilated outdoor area. This takes up less space too. Garlic treated this way too. Still eating them from last autumn and in excellent condition.
I just asked about this. Good to know as I'm limited on space! :) Thanks.
We don't have a lot of space, and so far we're doing Bush Beans, Butternut Squash, and Snow Peas. We have a bit of space under a tree - onions might work there - thanks for the valuable tips.
Perhaps check to see if there is any community garden space in your area. It’s often a good option.
Onions do ok in containers as long as you fertilize them regularly and keep the soil moist. I grow them by our steps and driveway in large pots sometimes. Bonus by doing that is I can snip a few greens occasionally to use, also.
If you haven't seen them, check out Hollis' older videos from Virginia. He had a smaller urban homestead and still grew a ton.
Everyone has provided you with some great tips. Have you thought about doing some vertical growing? You can double your harvest by doing vertical gardening in small spaces.
Best wishes and happy gardening. 👩🌾
I just found your channel and it was a video dated 2016 when you were in a little backyard making due with what you had... now this is the next video I watch and wow you have seriously upgraded your operation... the homestead is no longer just a dream!!!... so happy for you guys and I wish you continued success!!!
I’m new to your channel and just subscribed last week. I am learning so much! You are the sweetest couple. Thank you for sharing your knowledge. I am new to gardening and starting everything from seed right now. I’m praying for a bountiful harvest even though I’m a newbie. 🙏🏼😁💖
Amen prayers that your harvest will be plentiful! You can do all things in Christ who strengthens you!!
@@loriirons9503 Thank you Lori! God bless you sister! 💕
Before I was diagnosed with Celiac disease, one of my favorite sandwiches was thin slices of Vidalia sweet onions on pumpernickel bread spread with sweet butter, and sprinkled with salt and pepper. Those are some gorgeous onions!
Hi Hollis and Nancy, Wonderful video! This Spring 2022, I purchased 12 bundles of Dixondale Onions. Planted them 3 weeks ago, they have went thru snow, wind, rain, even low 30 degree weather, nothing bothers them - Illinois Zone 5b weather is brutal sometimes. I had been searching for the Texas Sweet 1015 plants for a long time! Thank you for letting me know Dixondale had them. Really appreicate the Storing information, looking forward to keeping these all winter. God Bless!!!
It was so nice to see Nancy's mom! Please introduce her to us next time.💖
Thank you for the scripture at the end. Do Not Be Afraid. ✝️👑🙏🕊
I'm in the FL Panhandle. I grew the Short Day Sampler Pack from Dixondale (Texas Super Sweet, Texas Early White, and Red Creole). All did well, but the Super Sweet were the best by far.
I enjoy watching the 2 of you working together and the helpful information you share. My favorite part is the way you end your videos. Love that!
We use your methods and our onions store very nicely. This will be our third
year growing from seed and it's saving us a lot of money. Start then indoors
in small (5"w x 12"l x 5"d) plastic storage tubs we got at the dollar store, first
of March. We use pelleted seed from Johnny's and much easier to plant and
know how many. About 126 per container. Also only about $8 for 1000 seeds.
Yeah, I'm a little OCD. We did use Dixondale for about 3 years before planting
by seed and I have to say they are top notch folks, with generous discounts
on bulk orders and a great selection of product. But we tried from seed one year,
it worked, and no looking back.
Another quick tip, plant your extras amongst your brassicas. Cabbage moths hate
the smell of onions, and consider those your bunching onions. The ones you
trim greens from. When cut the odor they give off intensifies. They won't grow
a very large onion because of being shaded, but you'll have NO damage to your
brassicas. 😊
TYFS Hollis, Nancy, and Mom
PS, The OCD thing extends on to the planting templates you built. Thanks for that
too my friend.
Nancy, loved your choice of music! You rock, girl!! Those onions are fabulous. Of course, Hollis, you can build anything, so the shelves and little houses are so perfect for all your vegetables. Thank you both so much for the info! Nice to see your sweet little mother enjoying herself, Nancy!! ♥️🙏🏼♥️
I started a lot of onions this year
😆 Nancy, I am so thankful that I'm not the only one that gets up for the critters. I'm always getting fussed at for letting the cat take my spot. 😂
Thank you so much for introducing us to Dixondale Farms. I ordered 2 bundles of the Texas Supersweets and received them promptly just in time for planting in my area, zone 8a. These were the freshest transplants I’ve ever seen! I separated them by sizes like on your video and it was a piece of cake to plant them. Due to the quality plants, I did not lose one transplant, not even a tiny one! They’re all growing nicely and feel this will be a successful harvest when they are ready! We are also planting sweet corn, watched the 3 part video, and can’t wait to watch the corn grow, praying for a good harvest. We love watching your videos and look forward to each new episode! We live on a lake in northwest Louisiana and love your fishing videos as well! We thank our Father for you both and pray for His continued blessings of love, health and happiness in your beautiful home. Thank you again. ~Blessings. Sammi L.
Just say it without shyness, 'Prepare for Famine'
Lot of people are scare and anxious, we have s many wonderful and giving subscribers that our prayer is they will help when they can. If we all help little, it will help a lot. We plan to donate some of our produce to charity's. Blessing, God's got us all. Nancy
That is a lot of onions. I have a lot of onions planted. I did plant Texas Super Sweets from Dixon Dale last year. Mine did not bulb that well. I did try the bent knife trick last year. I think I plant too deep. My knife snapped this year. I also think if I had low wood raised bed I would do better. Mine are oval or circular which limits how many you can plant per pot.
Mr. Hollis, Miss Nancy those were really nice onions. My wife and I love onions. Whether in a salad, on a sandwich, in meatloaf, or fried taters and onions they just taste better. Here in West Virginia we can't grow onions as nice as yours. We even like em green, right outta the garden. Appreciate your generosity you and Nancy are very kind people.
I'm so glad Nancy didn't let Bing Bing eat an onion, and that she knows they're toxic to dogs (and cats). Sweet cutie Bing Bing!
Why shouldn't you store onions with potatoes? Just curious. My onions don't normally last before they begin to grow, both them and my potatoes are in the same area. Never thought of anything until you said it just now.....m
Your onions produce and emit ethylene gas, which speeds up the ripening process and can cause nearby potatoes to rot and spoil more quickly.
@@resarm5007 ok thanks, I guess that's why within a week of buying my potatoes they begin to sprout
Needs help.
Lots of people prefer to do without than dig free potatoes it pointed in the direction.
You are the better man, I have just worked hard by myself to long.
Great video ( I'm always saying that to you both),Thanks
The only way to get Great flavor is pick ripened vegetables.
Just gotta love Nancy's mamma
I love your channel and am learning a lot as a first time container gardener. One question, how do you keep the birds from digging up your plants? I have a huge problem with the birds here in NC. I’ve put foil on the buckets and some spinning shiny pinwheels but they are still digging up my plants. Thanks and God bless!!
Birds or squirrels?
Lucky you, you produce a lot of onions and they are big and beautiful too. I always not having lucky to grow onions I don't know what I do wrong, but I am not going to despair. Thanks guys.
Onion results are fantastic 👏
Bless you and Nancy for thinking of others. It is true by His hands we all are fed.
Thank you for another excellent video!!!!❤
I bought onions from them!
Thanks for the tips! I started gardening and following your channel because of the coming food shortages (and prices). A lot of my onions don't make it, but some do great. Got to keep on it... got about 50 started from seed.
Huge onions!!! Thank you so much for showing us how to cure them.
Thank you for this content!
I learned about everything I need to know about onions from you guys. You have definitely blessed me with your knowledge. Lots of joy watching you two harvest, process and store onions! 🧅
I was able to go to a physical therapist who got me up and moving and gave me some stretches to do before I garden. Worth every penny. I’m not perfect but the good Lord helps me get through the day. All my plants are in pots and containers and I am able to grow enough for me, and to share with family, friends, neighbors and my exercise class. I planted some Dixondale onions on your recommendations this year and just ringed them. Hoping to get a good harvest and will see if I can make some last into next year! As I was ringing, I thought, “By His hands we are fed!” I may not have the set up you do, but I manage. However I do want to make a small processing table like you had at your last place. That is my goal this year. Love your video! God Bless you both and your families! 🙏💕
Great tips, and info
you sure have those onions down pat. I just harvested mine., planted around oct here in SW Florida thought it would be to hot and wet in summer. Still learning. Also had got my set from Dixondale , got some decent one and several medium. But also had quite a few that didn’t bulb or seem to spit into several.. any idea of why they would split or not bulb while other in same bed did good?
Thanks
Thank you for all the wonderful videos! So helpful for a first-time gardener. If possible, could you please give tips or a short video on how to deal with garden pests? This is my first year container gardening with vegetables but they are inundated with fungus gnats! Tried vinegar traps, Castile soap sprays, and even cinnamon on the soil but nothing is working. Would appreciate tips about pest deterrents safe to use on edible plants and safe around kids and pets. Thank you!!
You can use neem oil
I grow and sell tomatoes peppers brassicas cucumbers squash and watermelon starts and give starts to people in need I'm low income so I can't afford to give them all away I couldn't even grow a garden if I didn't sell some but I help where I can love the channel and the generosity to your community.
Your wife is BEAUTIFUL!
Thanks for sharing!!! Blessings!!
Absolutely beautiful crop of onions.
I learn so much from you guys. I really appreciate how your videos go from planting to harvest and in this case storage.
Bless you for sharing your harvest with those in need! I’m sure they are so appreciative of the fresh produce.
I have followed you two for quite a few years now. I have always liked your videos, but today you just topped my previous feelings by saying you take the smaller onions to the soup kitchen. You two are a blessing to your community. Thank you! And thank you for teaching me so many things about gardening.
I just planted one bunch of Texas Sweet at The Honey Stand. Just curious, how many bunches did you plant/harvest?
5:43 Hi Nancy, Hi Nancy's Mom !!! So good to see you happy and healthy!
I love the smell of onions on my hands! When my kids were all young and at home I would make a roast every Sunday for after church. While sitting at church, I would smell my fingers and the delightful smell of the earlier cut onions. Weird I know, but onions smell like Sunday morning and family meals!
I definitely get it👍
What a Blessing to see your Mother out there helping, God bless you all. Love from Georgia. Just north of you. Where do you purchase your large orange baskets?
My hands smell like onions just from watching this video! Love y’all so much! 🌱🧅
🧅✋🧅✋🧅✋😂😂😂
LOVE Love love y’all’s setup!!! OMG it’s like I transported there mentally. 👏🏽 👏🏽 👏🏽 & now about the video .. also LOVE!! Come on, the whole entire process on ONE video?! Plus you donate to those locally in need.. bravo y’all. Seriously, We need more people like this in the world. 🫂 #YouJustGotANewSubscriber
✨May you all be blessed for a long long time 🌙✨
Where did you find all that bok choy? or was it grown from seed, I'm in Jacksonville, FL...
City girl here with NO farming skill whatsoever. Is there a reason you don't trim immediately once harvested?
Thanks.
That’s the great Texan heart. Learning from you’ll. God bless you! 😊 thank you.
I’m in Southern California.... zone 9, why don’t my onions bulb out. I planted in the fall ☹️
Soup kitchen story made my day. I wouldn’t sell my stuff I love to give it away as well. May let the kids sell something at the end of the driveway if they helped grow it.
So happy I came across ur channel.
I used to put my surplus onions in pantyhose, knot between & hang in pantry. I could cut out 1s that I would use or any getting soft. Was not as effective with potatoes & never had that many old hosiery.
Blessings to u & urs
You guys are just truly amazing humans nice caring loving people and that's hard to find these days I mean helping people out then donating so many of the things you guys grow yall are absolutely incredible people you truly are ....I adore you guys
Thankyou so much! You two bring joy to my heart. God bless. So great to see a couple work together in Gods love. You've taught me so much
Have a blessed Resurrection Day! I appreciate your videos, prayers, kind hearts and encouragement! May the Lord meet you in your garden!
Very interesting! I learned a lot! Thank you and God Bless Nancy, You and Bing-Bing.
Beautiful onions!
Amazing harvest! Blessed 😊
I love your videos. They break everything down so nicely and in an inspiring way. Nancy, you won my heart today!! I will always share my seat with my dogs too! Of course mine are not as small but hey, we do what we do because we love them so much!! Anyways, wishing you both much love and success in your 2022 gardens! Can't wait to see more!
God bless you and Nancy for helping others 🙏 ❤️. Love your videos
Grew 2 pots of onions last year and they were great. First year in ground n it's looking good. Drying for longer storage information is much appreciated. Thanks
Just subscribed Thank you so much for sharing this video. You two are so inspirational ❤
Hey Hollis, something is chewing the tops of my onions down to dirt level but leaving them on the ground they aren’t actually being eaten. Any ideas?
Do you have to use fertilizer and raised garden beds?
Thank you sincerely God bless you both.
I live in Central Florida, how on earth do I store my onions in a space that is below 55°?? It's rarely 55° even in winter?
Praise God for His abundance!!
❤️
Thank you Both for great learning videos on how to grow our own food! Just found out my garlic had rotted when i went to dig it up? Perhaps I didn’t save it when i should have dug it up?
My garden is small. So I am trying to go larger. Or more productive. Three years now. I getting better.
Man those onions are beautiful!! ❣️🌱🧅🌱❣️
