It just occurred to me that what I was told as a kid were wild onions in yhe lawn at my grandparents were much more likely the onions yhey planted in the garden next to that lawn that seeded and scattered in the wind. I remember how areas of the lawn smelled like onions and we would pull out some of those immature "wild onions".
I want to thank you for mentioning them before, I also ordered the short day sampler and planted them today. Also dropped some granex seeds in the ground. Happy onion season!
...Onions from Seed - you are Very adventurous! ...I have been hesitant to do that...but now admit sumptin' has to be done differently: the onion sets that come into our Nursery come from Illinois, and are Way Too Late to plant ...
Great video 😊. To fertilize them with berrytone, do you unstack the green stalk to evenly spread the granules or just kind of hand rake it in in each pocket?
I hand rake it into each pocket. You could take them apart if you wanted to but that’s a lot of work for me so I really only do that once a year to add compost.
@@HomegrownFloridaZ9a yes it is a lot of work! I was hoping you’d say rake it in 🤣. I have had my garden stalk for about a month and it’s right around the time I need to fertilize my strawberries. Thanks!
Good afternoon. Mine looked worse them some of yours and Surprisingly they look pretty good today. It was my first time ordering from Dixondale. I ended up planting 124 plants. Some ill use for salad onions. Im over wintering them with hopes of harvesting in May.
@@HomegrownFloridaZ9a i think you said your in the newport richy area. Im trying to start my spring seeds but its to cold out. Im going to have to bring them into the house to germinate. Almost two werks and only The miragolds germinated. Hopefully next year ill have the money to put up a small green house.
@@HomegrownFloridaZ9a mostly bell peppers and one jalapeno pepper. Now there seeds i harvested last year from peppers i bought so possibly could be the problem. I just ordered many seeds from Hoss tools. Thanks for your responce
Thank you for the video, growing strawberries for the first time this year, was wondering about fertilization, you answered below. Cleaning my pots, oh great reminder, on it today. Best wishes.
I bought the shortday sampler from Dixondale as well. This yr I was very dissapointed, the starts were extremely small with little or no roots . Yours are actually much bigget than mine. Next yr, am starting from seeds next yr . For the smaller ones , am growing them as Escallion aka bunching onions . The Company Customer service is great , I must add but am not sure what happened this yr.
The onions I started from seed last year took forever (months) to get big enough to transplant. But they took off once they were in the ground. Patience is the key.
My strawberries in the green stalk did really well. Big, red, juicy and delicious until I went t away for 2 weeks. Lots of berries still but some look kinda dry while others just tiny and not very big or red. I planted Everbearing and was hoping they’d produce much longer. Oh well, I only planted 12plants thinking as they provided runners I could plant those in the empty greenstalk pockets. We shall see. How often will you fertilize your strawberries and what will you use?
Looking forward to seeing the onions and garlic grow. Was that your banana plant in the background while you doing your acrobatic move? How’s it coming along?
@@HomegrownFloridaZ9a can i send you an email of my banana plant? I put it in the yard at 4ft july 2022 and it just flowered. I am so excited! I took a photo every day and put it together into a video 😆
I planted my strawberries in a Garden Tower last spring. Should I fertilize them now or is it too late? What is the fertilization schedule for container gardens?
I ordered from then every for 3 years now, but last year, the pack they sent it I got around 10 viable. The rest was trash. I don't think I will order again.
@HomegrownFloridaZ9a I'm a new gardener and not that suscefull. Everything I sowed, it's grow but died afterward. Anyway, I don't know from whom to order this year.

I put my garlic in ground a few days ago during the cold front and I already have some sprouts when I checked on them this afternoon. Very exciting.
That’s awesome! Perfect timing

Haha. I have “wild mustard” all over my yard from the blown seeds.
Wonderful video, can't wait to see how those seedlings do! 😍
Me too! Hopefully everyone grows up well. I’ll keep you updated

Awesome! Hopefully we have some big onions on the way this spring.

@@Tie.you.Up.orTie-you-Downthey are finicky when they are young but its helpful to have them growing according to our schedule
Did you know that leaving your pots in the sun also disinfects them? Sun power is awesome.
Great point!

Mine are starting to look better now. It took them a bit to bounce back.

@@THEFIRSTTIMEGARDENER-mp9vv what seeds were you trying to start? I’ve been able to do most of mine outside but they do take a little bit longer.

Thanks for sharing!!!
My pleasure!!

Glad it was helpful! I should have mentioned it in the video. Sorry about that.
Im doing elephant garlic too. Im gonna put them in closer to christmas. That will give them 8 weeks in the fridge. We will see how they turn out.
Let me know how it goes. Mine haven’t popped up yet so fingers crossed 🤞
@@HomegrownFloridaZ9a ok, i hope i remember too. If you make a harvest video im sure i will.
@@Huy0035as long as all goes as planned, I will be doing a harvest video. 💚

I thought I just wasn’t remembering it right but they did seem smaller this year.

I use Berrytone once a month while they are producing and then I don’t provide anything other than compost once the rest of the year.
Looking forward to seeing the onions and garlic grow.
Was that your banana plant in the background while you doing your acrobatic move? How’s it coming along?
It was. It’s doing really well. It’s producing like 5 pups. I’m hoping for bananas this summer but we will see.

Nice dear
Thank you 😊
I planted my strawberries in a Garden Tower last spring. Should I fertilize them now or is it too late? What is the fertilization schedule for container gardens?
I fertilize mine now until they finish around May, once a month with granular berrytone and fish fertilizer if they look like they need it
It’s 80 degrees here in Jacksonville, not sure if I should wait. Any thoughts 🤷♀️
Im south of you so you should be good. 👍
Great video and info! Thank you! How often will you be fertilizing your strawberry plants? I’m growing for first time so far so good 🙏🏼
About once a month until they are finished and then I don’t fertilize the rest of the year.
@@HomegrownFloridaZ9a tysm

I’m sorry to hear that. Who did you go with this year?
@HomegrownFloridaZ9a I'm a new gardener and not that suscefull. Everything I sowed, it's grow but died afterward. Anyway, I don't know from whom to order this year.
I’ve been told Hoss tools has some good ones. I might try them next year
Do you know any good place for shallot starts?
I haven’t tried those yet but I think MIGardener or Johnnyseed carries them
