Which on YT can go on until our ears fall off. You got to the point. Gave real information. You didn't parrot videos you watched in the last week on a topic you know nothing about. You sir put out one great video.

Yeah, I tried that "plant in November" and I ordered 1015 onions from Dixondale too. Trouble was that in the last week of December we had a polar vortex and the temp went to 3 degrees and stayed below freezing for 5 days. I covered the onions with plastic but it didn't help. Lost every damn one of them. So much for November planting. I replanted in early February and so far the onions are all alive. And I live in zone 7B.

Since people from all over are watching this, remember that short day onions do best in the south and long day onions do better in the north. This sounds backwards but this relates to the amount of light available to the plant when they start bulbing. Select the right variety of onion and follow Hoss's advice and you have a winner.

I've settled on Ailsa Craig here in Scotland and yeah, if you give them 6 inches between plants you will get nice big 4-5" diameter onions near guaranteed with lots of nutrients, can even grow into the true giant type for shows etc if you want. Always from seed, sets not worth it in my opinion - seed onions are so easy, can start the whole bed in a single ice cream tub and they're so hardy its easy to separate them for planting. Never had any luck with any red onion in my climate - too cool I think.

I am in Tn and I sow my onions with pelleted seeds in my greenhouse about the 3rd week in January. I do no dig with mushroom compost. Other than thinning like you do i do not add anything but water. I do water them regularly. My onions vary in size and i have some big onions and some not so big where in one corner of my greenhouse they do not get enough sun. They sre still in the ground but i am not going to water them anymore, In a week are so i will just pull them up, cut most of the leaf part off and just let them dry on the ground in the greenhouse. It works well for me and i have been doing it that way about 5 years.

I like everything you said (I’m here in zone 10a) about planting onions. I wish you would have commented about short, long and day neutral varieties to help out some of the newer growers. I plant first week in November and start my plants from seed in flats right around Labor Day. All short-day varieties, Texas Grano, yellow granex and red creole. After bulbing I cut way back on fertilizer and switch from 20-20-20 water soluble to CAN-27 side dressing. I’ve found too much late fertilizer promotes a large number of seed heads.

I live in the Pacific Northwest in America, I think fairly similar weather. Everything in the onion family seems to do great here, including the purple ones. I wonder if it is a nutrition or water issue? I planted bulbs last year, the yellow ones failed, where they were planted I just couldn’t get them enough water, very sandy type soil with bark dust, the water didn’t seem to hold. Plus too much competition from roses. But my purple ones were my first ever successful onions, not as large as the grocery store, but bigger than a golf ball.

@@paulk5311 I try and stay away from chemicals if there is an alternative that is natural and just as good or better, sometimes there are. However, most of all that grows in the garden has been developed to grow best under very unnatural conditions. Softball sized onions are not a natural occurrence and need help with unnatural soil mixes, fertilizer, and watering. If you can find a natural alternative do so but if you hold back giving the garden what it needs, the garden will hold back giving you what you want.

Adding a high quality nitrogen fertilizer and incorporating it into the soil as shown at 3:40 in Hoss's video is very critical to a healthy onion crop. Do as Hoss exemplifies as it is very critical...so very critical.

If you're growing short-day onions (which you should be considering you live in Florida), you'll want to plant in November and overwinter them for an early spring harvest.

Question, I tried growing onions for the first time this past year. They started off well and as they got bigger and had good leaf growth, they stopped growing. The bulbs really didn’t get big and many rotted. I think I may have over watered them. How often do you water them and how much water?
@gardeningwithhoss
@gardeningwithhoss 5 жыл бұрын
It's hard to overwater onions. They like lots of water and lots of nitrogen.
@NOturtle

Only thing I can think of then is I started from bulbs rather then seeds. I also just used ammonium sulfate which is full of nitrogen. Guess I didn’t use enough

@@NOturtle I work for the company that Dixondale buys their fertilizer from and they use ammonium sulfate to side dress their crops with. Not sure how much per acre they use since they just order 2000# bulk bags from me to have delivered to the farm. So you are on the right track. Preplant they use a fertilizer that's higher in P & K with some along with some micro nutrients.

At 10-12 weeks trim tops off leaving about 5 inches and also spoon the onions. Spooning is clearing away dirt from the top of the onion so that the top is exposed. Onions do not like fighting dirt for space. Hopefully this helps. Make sure to get softball size onions that they are not planted to closely together. Some thinning may be necessary.

This video says to plant onions in November but the Farmer's Almanac says to plant onions as soon as the ground can be worked in the spring, usually late March or April to make sure outdoor temperatures don’t dip below 20°F (-6°C). How is it that these onions don't freeze in the Georgia winter? Just asking.
@gardeningwithhoss

Onions will survive as long as they don't experience prolonged periods of weather under 20 degrees. It gets to 20 degrees here in the winter, but never stays that cold for long.
