4:30 This map looks wrong. Summer Solstice in the South is the LONGEST daylight of the year,
Here in South Carolina we get over 14 hours of sunlight on the Summer Solstice
That map is for the WINTER SOLSTICE. I can't trust your information.
Watching your videos have helped me finally figure out how to plant onions. This is my first year trying to garden and for some reason onions were confusing me!
Great instructional video, thanks!!
Go Dale❣️
Thank you
Thank you. That was so thorough. I’m trying seeds this yr to cut costs and the seed starting time was getting a little confusing. I think I have this now! I’m so excited and ready. Planting this weekend inside
Great to see you are starting seeds already. Here is to a great 2023 growing season to all!
Never had luck with onions thanks for.yhe video. I will try seeds this year !?
Puff puff pass
Excited to start my onions soon and use these tips. Have only used sets before so I'm very curious how they will differ.
Great! Thanks! The explanation about onion sets makes me feel way better. I just thought I was crap at growing onions! This coming season, I'll try seeds instead: Hi from Durham.
I planted some onion seed last late summer.I’m experimenting to see if they survive the winter. I’m going to seed backups just in case.
Thank you for another amazing video. I'm gonna start my onion seeds tomorrow.
Does this also apply to leeks?
