  1. Hey, you're kinda smart there on those onions! haha!! Thanks for the info friend, much appreciated!

  2. I live in a long day area, i am planting 2 crops: one in fall and one in spring

  3. i know it still freezes down south as I am in Ocala, FL and it does get below zero, but not often at all, but it happens. How does that impact your onions?

  4. I did enjoy the video, for a second time or third….i need to check out your site for more as well as that fertilizer. Thanks, very helpful

  5. 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.

  6. I watched this video 3 yrs ago. I just got thru watching a video about growing big onions. Interesting how the other fellow says plenty of Nitrogen early and you say Phosphorus and Potassium. I see these things a lot on video's on growing veggies. Two opposite ways to grow and good results both ways.

  7. Hey Hoss Boss, my wife says to cut the tops off the onions, which will make the bulbs grow bigger. Myth or miracle? Thanx.

  8. In the Appalachians in North Carolina we cannot plant in November or northern Georgia, but if you're at sea level, sure.

  9. Well you could buy onion sets that will grow into large onions! This would seem like the easy way to go to me.

  10. QUESTIONS: #1 Do you ring your onions? #2 What does ringing the onions mean? #3 How many inches of water do onions need per week?

  11. I read elsewhere that onions that get sulfur have more of a "bite" in their flavor… But you don't mention using sulfur. Is that an oversight? Or deliberate? If so, what rationale?

  12. You explain things so well, thank you! I failed at my onions last year but hey you learn as you grow.

  13. Nice video. I just purchased my onion from you and this will be my first time growing onions. Im growing red and Texas sweet. Im also growing carrots among the onions which i hear is a good companion?
    So i want to grow over winter broccoli, cabbage, cauliflower, and collards. I live in north Florida short season. Was wondering which variety you sell do you think would be best to grow for the beginner gardener? I want to buy from you this week to get them started in August for late September planting.
    Thanks…Ed
