Your timing is always perfect, Gary! I was just watching my onions a few days ago and trying to figure out if they were ready. Thanks always for the tips!
Thanks!
? Can you eat the green parts of both bunching and reg. onions
Lol I have a month to go! I thought they were almost ready!
Your videos have gotten better every year, looking forward to harvesting this years onions and potatoes myself!
Awesome info there Gary. Thanks so much 😊
Thanks! First time growing onions. Just use the neem oil I got from you today. 😀
Mine have been like that since they sprouted 😂
Used the info today thanks
Hi Gary … OMG I'm so happy you did this video..
I have never grown onions before. In a corner in the backyard there's a plant that looks just like
an onion plant . Kinda smells like one to. Its been growing there for about 10 summers . Every year it grows back.
Since I don't see it everyday, I've never dug it up. I've thought about digging it ,but I keep forgetting to.
The leaves look just like yours. But mine are straight up with big white pom pom balls on the tops of the leaves . The pom poms are starting to die. It looks like there is little black seeds in the pom poms, but
the plant isn't multiplying .
After all these years of thinking it was a onion plant, obviously it's not 🤣🤣
Can you tell me what you think it could be ?
And what to do with it lol
I grew elephant garlic last fall and when it was going to be -20 I cut the greens off one to eat. Figured I might as well eat it instead of letting the frost have them all. When spring came it was a month behind the others. Don’t know if it ever caught up.
