Only recently found your videos and now binge watching them, even on my spin bike session this morning. Love the wooden spoon dibber, going to steal one of my wifes old ones.

Back fill with poting soil..😃..never thought of that...😊thanks 👍

I’ve never grown them from seed. All the onions I have are grown from the roots that I removed before cooking. Most of the time, I don’t even pull the entire plant up. I’ll just cut it down to soil level and leave it to grow back.

Learning so much. Just got a green house and am building raised beds each week for spring planting. Soon no lawn all veg. Thank you!

Please keep these great ideas coming! I am already reaping the benefits from the squash hand-pollination video. I'm growing garlic chives now, but will add salad onions to my list for next season.

I make a 4 inch wide drill and scatter seeds along this - saves thinning out. Do the same with radish.

[nicholasheath]

Ive seen this and the raddish video! I think they are amazing so far! Keep up the good work! Ive recently gotren into growing stuff in pots!

[CustomGardenSolutions]

I'm a big fan of salad onions too. Great episode with lots of good information. Thanks for sharing it with us. 😎😎😎😎

I crowd grow my scallions in a one foot square, the only time they are thinned out is when I pull out a clump for the table.
scallions don't need thinning.
