Can you plant them in Miracle-grow seed starting and then transfers them into potting soil. Or can you just used potting soil to plan them and let them grow withthout transferring them?

@farmerkeith 5 күн бұрын

I would just plant them in potting mix. The fewer times you move them, the better.

I did my first direct sow this year in rows because that’s how I learned at other farms but this seems like way more yield per square foot and so much less maintenance. I am going to try this but with direct sow for the rest of my crop. I could probably try some not in fabric and see how hilling them goes with stretching the bulb. Thanks for sharing all the details from seeds per cell to spacing on the fabric, performance under low water etc. the only other thing that would be good to know is variety.. I wonder if some preform better then others as well as if I can use storage onion seed rather than green onion which would be a lot cheaper

@farmerkeith Жыл бұрын

We use parade but variety with onions really comes down to your latitude

Hello, I have a partial shade garden (8 hours of direct sun) can I use a short day onion due to limited sun in New England (normally a long day onion zone) reason is that my long day varieties don’t grow to potential size…I believe due to the limited sun light… anyone have thoughts or suggestions? Thanks Frank

@farmerkeith Жыл бұрын

We sell everything for the same price. The trick is changing the quantity to give equal value for each product. The bunch is $4.50 with our included sales tax.

@AnenLaylle7023 7 ай бұрын

So you clarify, you are just planting them out from the 200 cell trays into the holes in the fabric without separating the bunching onions? I've never done it this way, but I just planted some in slightly larger cell trays. I hope it works, because I absolutely hate separating them and planting them that way as it takes forever and I get quite aggravated at the process. The bunching onions just make so much money that I go through that painstaking ritual every year of separating them out. I grow deep purple instead of parade, but I used to grow parade, which is I assume what you are growing, as it is the standard.

@farmerkeith 7 ай бұрын

That is correct. Plant the whole plug. It fills out the bed nicely, easy weeding too. Then, to harvest, we pull the whole bunch, band it, and wash the exposed areas. Easy as that!

These are what I would call scallions. They are also known as spring onions, green onions and more. They are all of the same family and all have underdeveloped bulbs and the different names tend to be specific to different areas and dialects. It is not wrong to call them by their locally recognised name, so please do not think that I am "getting at" you, far from it. Just a note for information 😊.

Bunching Onions are just a generic name used by market gardens. Just a type we plant in a bunch, harvest in a bunch, and sell as a bunch. I always confuse customers when I can them that.
