The Secret To Onion Seedlings - Garden Quickie Episode 240

Bulb onions can be a tricky crop, even if they are quite easy to grow. Aggressive green growth and solid root systems don't always guarantee a bulb harvest. If you're growing your own onion starter plants this year, I'll show the secret to getting bulbs every time!

2025 is the year we take our gardening to the next level! Time to eliminate the mistakes, cultivate more, and grow better. We deserve it after the last little while, and growing our own food and self sufficiency is just the reward we need!

Thank you! You've explained why I've had mediocre results in recent years with onion seeds. I've had them under grow lights for too long. Luckily, I got a new greenhouse at home, but haven't had time to install grow lights, so this year's batches are growing au naturel!

I killed my onions again this year. I always manage to mess up when I plant them from seed. I'll just stick to sets lol. Thank you for your videos!

So I have a heat mat / grow light set up. Are you saying that with onions I should not have them under the grow light after they germinate? Shoot…
