I followed your onion growing directions last year and it was the first time I had grocery store (and even bigger) sized onions. You definitely give great advice here!
Same for me too. People kept saying it was a bad year for onions in FL. Meanwhile, I was having the best year yet. 😂
Very informative video and you are a very good teacher. I love Vidalia onions do you live close to that farm? I lived in Valdosta when my daughter was going to college. I thought Warner robins was hot, I thought I was going to die in Valdosta. Good video 👍
Just having the lil man involved deserves a like 👍🏾.. train em young
The benefit of your dog rolling in an herb is that it helps keep them smelling nice. 😊
Basil is good for pesto?
I grew onions from sets for years without success. 4 years ago I started growing from seed and now I'm hooked. I follow all 10 of your top 10 list and look forward to a bountiful harvest every year. I went crazy this year and will definitely have to give away onions to friends and family this year. I grow mine in a ground cover. Love your channel.
I heard the other day for the first time that it’s hard to grow big onions from sets because they consider that their second year and they want to put the effort into making seed instead of bulbs. Explained a lot lol
Seeds are definitely the way to go!
I'm thinking of working an area up sowing it in clover, then once it's up use drill plant onion plants after filling holes half full of composted manure.
The clover helps feed the heavy feeder onions!!
What about mulching for weed control?
That's an impressive onion harvest..! Well played, sir.
Thanks Corey!
Brooklyn's hat is adorable! A spaghetti raised bed would be fun to do in a long bed. A bed full of baby's breath would look great as a divider or pattern making bed. Actually, I had a friend that planted a block of smaller ones and put a different color of flower in each one to create a rainbow garden. (I feel a little silly giving you experts garden ideas!) 👒💐🌈🌞
We always appreciate any suggestions. Thanks Laura!
Would LOVE the idea of raised bed gardening! A lot of people don't have the in ground space like you are blessed with, and do strictly raised bed, so they would learn a lot!
Love seeing raised garden beds, cheap ways to fill them and build soil, and how to improve production. As I get older, in-ground gardening is getting tougher.
Yes, yes, yes to the raised beds!
If it’s Vego Garden who wants to do the sponsorship, I’d jump on it. They’re nice. 👍🏻
They are nice!
Nice video Travis but I'm not going to lie the best part in the video is when Ti Ti walks in the camera shot with that big ass bone , I about spit my tea out laughing ❤😂
Haha. You never know what he is going to do.
Go Titus! Those of us with yards have to grow in smaller spots and containers are what we have to limit ourselves to. I’m using 110 gallon troughs though, so it’s reasonable sized for you to mess with.
I liked and subscribed. I been backyard gardening over 60 years. Im 78 years old now and about 10 years ago, I started using raised beds and I wished I'd started sooner. As far as your fire ring, sweet potatoes would be great in there PLUS, you would have some beautiful foliage,
I didn't know red onions could get that big! Thanks!
You’re living a good life, everything are healthy around you. Fresh vegetables and fresh air.
I’d love to see y’all do a raised bed garden. You can get so much more creative with raised beds. I have 20 and love them!
Should be fun!
Whoa! Those are some big onions!
PS, I love it when Brooklyn shows up, she always cracks me up!
Thanks!
Amazing….great job fam
Thank you 🥰🥰🥰
Thanks for the great tips ! Can’t wait for November!
Great video
Love this farmer ! Thank u for sharing all u know ❤🇨🇦
First of, thank y'all for the wealth of knowledge that y'all are sharing with the world. You mention that you prefer to plant your onions in November. My question is, duo you start your seeds in November or transplant the small plants in November? If you're transplanting them in November, when do you start your seeds? Thanks in advanced.
We start our seeds in the greenhouse in mid-September and then transplant in November.
Would love to see content on raised beds!!
Yes do the raised bed gardens! I'd love to see that! We also use a lot of grow bags!
Would love to see your raised beds in your dream garden plots!! Lots of fun trying different methods!! Hope it works for you all!!
Grow. In. Buckets
Thanks Travis, saving this video, and sharing of course. Really good one.
really nice video , Tye is a hoot . Y'all take care
YES!!!! for the raised bed info! That’s mainly what I have. Taking all the onion notes for next year. THANKS
I am so glad I found you again!
Glad you found us too Robin!
Yes, I would love to see you plant out some raised beds.
Dude.....I just tried your pickled red onion recipe on your website and it's got me licking my ears like a crackhead....thanks
Glad you like it!
Great info regarding planting onions. Love to see raised bed video. So good to see Titus and Mrs. Titus steels the show.
Thanks Karen!
I value all of you onion tips ! Thank you! This is my first year growing them from seed am excited to see how it goes !!!
Thx for the info!
Our pleasure!
That sweat tear was right on queue when talking about loosing the baby onions.Lol
I always plant too many! Love sharing with family and friends!
Great video!!!
Thank you!!
Been watching your videos for years and can say as a old Ky guy here you are without a doubt giving the best advice on gardening on the internet in my opinion.I have learned a lifetime of knowledge from your videos. Semper Fi
We appreciate it Kevin! And thanks for your service!
Thank you for the 10 onion tips. I had an awful onion harvest this year. I'll be using all 10 tips. Please, as a man in his 60's with bad knees and back I would love to see more raised bed gardening ideas.
Hey Travis. Great video with lots of good info on onion growing. I’ve never had a lot of luck growing onions because I followed some bad advice. Can’t wait to use your checklist and give them another shot. BIG fan of your raised bed idea and I think it makes a lot of sense. One option you may want to consider is to use fabric grow bags as your container. They are relatively inexpensive, come in a variety of sizes, easy to move, and make a great container for growing vegetables. Looking forward to Friday’s vid!!
Thanks Tim!
I'm gardening strictly in fabric bags they work great!!😅
Yes do the raised beds, it’s nice seeing others ideas. Good video thanks!
Excellent onion discussion, thanks!
Glad you enjoyed it!
You are a great teacher! Thank you for this good information!
You are so welcome!
That kid is ADORABLE!! THANKS for the onion tips. VERY helpful. I subscribed immediately.
Thanks for subbing!
I 100% appreciated the top 10 list you provided. This is a great highlight in this video. Would love to see more of this style through out other items in the garden. Great Job!
Thanks!
I like your raised beds idea. It sounds like a fun adventure! 👍🏻
I think so too!
Yes! You better do those raised beds!. I like the vego beds. I could see you doing those.
Your raised bed spot would also be great for ginger
It sure would!
Amazing!!!
Thanks Ivan!
You Should do the raise bed sponsorship im sure you have a huge amount of gardeners me being one of them that would enjoy your take on it!
Love your videos direct. precise, and to the point! Good Job Great family you have also!
Thanks Tonya!
Thank God! I have been struggling
Thanks for sharing this information. I am going to follow these instructions and see if I can be successful. Thanks again.
I thought this was about pumpkins again but lord, them are some huge onions!! Great job!! And good advice!!👍👍💪💪👍👍
Your garden is beautiful
Thanks Kathy!
Thank you so much,you are only 1.5 hours from me so I go by when you plant Hazlehurst Georgia 🌱
This is out first year to grow red onions in our raised beds. I'm following your advice on growing them so I hope mine are as awesome as yours!! Great tips Travis, thank you!! 🧅🌱🧅🌱🧅
Look at them onions. They are massive. Great blessed harvest. I’ve started oregano indoors and never grows well, but the one I direct sow in a container, is coming back even after that crazy cold weather we had.
Also really enjoy your content
Thanks Brian!
Thanks for the onion information. We have a longer growing season so still have onions in the ground. Enjoying your channel so much!🌺
Awesome! Thank you!
Thanks Travis, I heard that tip about cutting the tops and did it. I am going to harvest soon. I am not optimistic . It’s my first year, so I don’t mind. It’s all learning. Thank you.
I love the idea of a raised bed garden. I have very little in-ground usage in my garden - it’s mostly raised beds. It would be fun to get your take on how best to grow in raised bed - especially with respect to plant spacing and fertilization. This was a fun video, especially since I will be getting my onions in November and need to get beds ready for them. I HOPE I can grow onions that big!
Thanks so much for the tips on growing onions I love growing big onions
Growing big onions is more fun than growing little onions! Proven fact! lol
Greetings from Sweden 🇸🇪
At my age, 72, raised beds are the only way I can garden. Would love having raised beds included in your growing cycles.
Nice
Great video , I’m going to try growing onions next year
You got this Cheryl!
Raised beds are great for older gardeners, like me, since we don’t have to bend so far to garden. I have a small in ground garden this year for okra, corn, pole beans and cukes, but most of my crops are in raised beds or containers.
I might actually start growing bush beans again if I had a long raised bed. lol
By the way you have upped my onion game a huge amount! Thanks!
Great to hear!
Thank ya Travis. I have my onions in a raised bed. I companioned planted with bell pepper. So far so good!
yes on the raised beds
You're pronouncing that name just fine! Like the wine!
we use sheets of durarock cut to 2' height as raised bed material.
I would love to see you do raised beds. I have raised beds . Good luck
Hi Travis, up here in SWMO I live on a hill top with nothing but rock on the under side. So all my gardening is done in them big mineral tubs and I love it, I can sit in my little chair and do all my planting and pick in comfort. When you get older like I am you got to cheat all you can lol.
Yes I need to see raised beds because I have a small backyard and I have a raised bed and want to get more
Im always taking green tops to.cook with
Raised beds would be a great thing to see you tackle. It would help those of us with smaller gardens . Thanks so much love your content
Noted!
Will be my first time trying to grow from seeds. Great video and saw an earlier video of yours today too on onions. Up here in Northern Michigan growing inground beds. Weeds are a pain, bought a stirrup hoe for the first seedling weeds.. also going to try no-till no dig. Tiller is staying out tho... thanks Travis!
Raised Beds? 🤔🤔 I think that's a great idea. LOL 🤠
I think it would be perfect for things like collards in the fall.
Very nice video. Guao. Those are reallly nice and big onion bulbs. Amazing. Congratulations and thank you for sharing your knowledge Sir.
Thanks Jose!
I like the raised bed idea. You could try out different heights and configurations. That's what I was going to do in my backyard until I broke my ankle. Now I'm just doing grow bags and pots. I still got 5 raised beds to put together later this summer.
Cheap "raised bed", so long as you don't expect it to last forever: Get some 4x2 welded wire, about 30" tall, cut a length of it 13' long, and wire the ends together. This will give you a ring roughtly 4' in diameter. Use a decent quality landscape fabric to line the interior--a 4' wide strip will give some overlap on the outside. Fill part way with some sort of fill material, the rest with your soil mix. Eventually the UV will break down the landscape fabric, but it should last at least a couple of years before you need to redo the bed.
Thank you from Virginia. Loved the video and totally agree with this good information in a sea of bad information. Nice harvest to.
Glad you enjoyed it!
Those things are amazing. Tie them to the end of a stick and you got yourself a legit weapon. lmao.
I know right?!
Those red onions (Chianti and Red Rock) are beautiful!. Thanks for sharing the results of your experiments. Best wishes from Kate in Olympia, WA - 5/18/2022.
Always good to see you here Kate!
Great video. Awesome onions. I would love to see you garden in raised beds since I garden in raised beds and containers only.
Thanks Janice!
Hello 1st time here. My father used to say BULLJIVE.AN an he also new his bulljive on onions 🌰 everything u said is facts.blessing to u family and garden..I will subscribe..thanks..aaiiyyaa keepgoing..
Thank you for sharing your garden with me. I just love how it’s all coming together and growing so nicely! I love to garden and also make garden videos. I have so much to still learn about gardening. I’d love it if we could learn more from each other! Happy Growing! 🌷🌼🌻🌺🌸🌹🐝
You are so welcome!
Definitely suggest doing the raised bed plot. I think a lot of people would benefit from it especially using multiple different sizes and materials to test longevity and pros and cons of each.
If we do it, we'll probably have all the same type of material, but just different shapes and sizes.
I have did just what you have said and those babys are growing. Thanks ,
my brother is going to be sad when he see mine.
Thanks for the onion growing tips, I've been trying to figure out what I did wrong. I'm looking forward to growing from seed with you later this year!
Should be fun!
i like the idea of the raised beds. currently have 2 raised beds going. 6ft by3ft and 4ft by 3ft. currently have 6 tomato and 6 jalapenos and 6 collards green in the large bed. in the smaller bed i did have pole beans which i harvested about 3lbs of bean out of. the small bed may be an onion bed this fall or a corn field. plus thinking bout a 3 raised bed. in zone 9b in florida here.
I would love to see some raised beds in your garden.
Thanks Travis. I saw a lot of comments on the boiled peanuts. Especially the sharp geographical contrast for experience /awareness. Fascinating. It is obvious that everyone, including me, are waiting for the ultimate detailed boiled peanut recipe in the future! Ha! Good job, Sir. Chuck in Jensen Beach.
If we're able to grow some, we'll definitely show how we prepare them.
I am ALL ABOUT raised beds. It is so much easier for me to manage and water. Way easier on my back. I bought a lot of those fire rings 2 years ago...I think I have 9 or 10 out there, and they were only $30 at the time. Ive even planted onions in them. I would love to see videos on raised beds and management on them. Ive also got a couple of the metal raised beds, but havent gotten them put together yet. I need to git on it!
I'm at that point in summer where I think the weedeater does a fine job for my weeds lol man it's sure been hot!
I would like to see you do some videos on planting in raised beds. I hope you can get a company to sponsor. I grow half my garden in raised beds. I have my onions in one of them now. Keep up the good work, Travis. Thank you for your hard work.
Thanks for joining us!
Your hedge row basil is a great , I was going to do the same
It's a beautiful sight when it gets full.
