Sowing Onion Outside
(Edited)
Sowing Onion, Outside!
Versatile Onions! Onions are among the first plants I can sow outside. They are a cold hardy crop, even a few weeks before the last frost date. They can take a frost, and thrive in the cooler temps of early spring. My gardens are in New England, zone 6b/7a.
I am sowing Ruby Red Long Day Onion, Pompeii White, Red Wethersfield, Utah Yellow, White Sweet Spanish, Red Beard Bunching Onion, and Chives. Follow along, and see my ONION SOWING TIPS!
Please give this a watch and perhaps, consider giving my video a like and subscribe to my channel. I could use all the help I can get.
For the last few years, I have not planted nearly enough Onion. This year, I am planting a more of each type of onion, as well as a new Variety for me: Red Weathersfield. I am hoping that the additional Onions sown, will help with The Hunger Gap come NEXT spring. Check out the video, for tips and technique of sowing your ***OWN* Onion!**
Most of you know, I prefer locally grown food. It's healthier for my family, and for the planet. In fact, I prefer to grow my own food. I know what goes into my foods, and what chemicals are NOT in my food. Also, It cuts down on carbon emissions, less trucking to get fresh foods to my table.
And that makes me smile... better for the planet, better for my own family.

Hola, Bluefin. This is synchronicity... I live in the tropics, but I'm getting ready to poke some onions in the ground meself. Michel and I have been working on garden beds for a while, which is easy here because the soil is volcanic and rich. We have beans and celery growing, cassava, turmeric, etc. I should really post about this, shouldn't I? LOL
Definitely post about it! Last year, I let some of my Celery go to seed. I actually managed to collect a bazillion seeds (SOOOOO TINY!) and grew some from seed. I have some outside, and I will plant more, soon, too...so I can harvest in succession. Here's the one that is now outside (the pic is a few weeks ago inside)!
Oh gosh yes, celery seeds are almost like dust motes! Very tiny and light. We are concerned that at some point purchasing seeds may become as difficult/expensive as buying actual food. So part of our experimentation is harvesting our own seeds and growing only heirloom plants. We have sooooo much to learn.
that's exactly why I started harvesting and saving seeds!
And yes, saving seeds means Heirloom, otherwise, who knows WHAT you get for traits in the seeds.
Methinks we are thinking alike! :-)
Haha yah!
It seems you are as obsessed with onions as I am with hot peppers! I really need to add some onions to my garden this year. Makes me want some fresh ones right now on my sandwich for lunch.
Awesome pot planting!
I am OBSESSED with Tomato. 17 Varieties, and hundreds of seedlings. Onion I just cook alot with so I harvest and store them for the winter, for use.
OOOoooooh! I am of the same mind with tomatoes. I like ones that produce a little earlier in the season, beefsteaks, romas for sauce and sweet cherry tomatoes for the ladies to snack on.
Which ones are your favourites?
Our FAVORITE for snacking is the White Cherry.
Come fall, I make gallons and gallons of sauce and freeze it. I use my Black Sea Man, Cherokee Purple, and the Roma, San Marzano and Ukranian Plums. not shown are Yellow Pear, that are a small cherry - type. Also a favorite.
I actually am growing onion for the very first time this year, and I was surprised on how small the seeds where! I almost gave up, but got a few starts. Hopefully I will be using the info I have learned in your video soon. :)
If you see this video:
I show how I sow the actual seeds. After a couple months, I transplant these seedlings ooutside (In the video in this post)
Ok so you throw in a few together. That makes since since bulbs can grow clumped together?
Actually, I plant the seeds very close, indoors. THEN, when I move them outside, its easy to pull them apart and [;ant them about 4 inches away from each other.
I almost missed this one as I've been travelling the last week. I have some onions I got from a friend from last year that have sprouted. I'm thinking of planting them on a lark just to see how they do.
