For those of us with an attention span of about 2 minutes thankyou sir.

Your Garden Quickies are amongst my most favorite to watch. Just a little "add on"....mark the month and year you collect your seeds. It only takes a minute but can save you from losing those valuable resources by not working within their best usage times. (Especially for us older folks who feel like the calendar has wings!) 😁

Your garden quickies are among my very favorite Youtube videos, and this one was a goodie!

God bless you and your family my white brother!

Another great video good sir!!!! I love your videos for the useful information, rather than just garden tours, which are somewhat interesting.

Thanks so much Jeff! I've never been without green onions since the first one of your videos i watched, over 3 years ago. This is the first year I'm growing more from my own seeds, though i seem to have mixed the leek & green onion seeds, I don't mind at all. The different sizes look really cool growing together. Happy Gaedening from South Florida! 🇺🇲 🌞🦩😎

Mine are doing this now. After using the same green onions from cuttings from the store for about two years by cut and come again, they are actually budding for me right now outside on the deck! Great timing for this video.

Thank you!! I was right green onion seed😄

Hey Jeff I just got know something, if you keep store bought onions in the fridge for a month or so and later sprout the whole bulb or half bulb, you probably could get a flower as the refrigeration appears like a second winter

I don't plant green onions every year; but, when I do, they usually produce well. Except, not this year. I've had started plants from the garden center that were taller than the ones in my garden bed, right now.

[muhamadthemotorcityfarmer]

So glad I watched this. My first year planting them half successfully. Most of the seeds never made it. I had no idea that They're biannual. Great episode.

Just watched this - now I know what to do with the leek flower - just leave it until it becomes full of seeds and store ready for next year. All because I stuck the root of a leek in a pot to see what happened!! Nature's amazing

[carolschedler]

Thanks! I might try pulling some green onions, then cutting the root end to replant and see if it might stress the onion into reproduction. I might try allowing some of those root tips to dry out and then planting too. Thanks for your detail in short for ! Really ❤ it!

[HeartsDoor]

What happens after the second year? Will they continue to grow and flower each year?

[antonboldsword]

They'll last at least 5 years with still great germination and longer with slowly lessening germination, if you package them good and really fresh & freeze them - only taking them out long enough to plant each year.

Call me strange, but I like using almost all of the green onion except for the bulb, as in the white bulb at the bottom, not the more greenish area right above the bulb. So, I would never have that bottom part to regrow as I would have cut too much of the plant for it to be viable.
