I learn more from Travis then any other Gardening channel.

Brother man I have seen you grow softball size onions. This is a great way of showing that you’re not always going to have a good year every year. But you learn from it.

[adigmon]

I’ve been replanting my onion bottoms for years! All of my green onions came from grocery store green onions.

I've always let 2 or 3 bolt and collect the seeds. As far as cutting, it works great for bunching onions. If they bolt then after you collect the seeds, dehydrate the onions for soups. Nothing goes to waste. Happy growing! BTW, plant the seeds in fall and enjoy next year.

I keep a planter on the back porch that I call my onion nursery. I've been replanting all my leek and onion roots for years.

I cut my tops every other week & use them as green onions. My suggestion.

I am in 9b as well Travis here in East Texas I bought some of your Louisiana Shallots and they have done great but almost everyone has flowered. They taste great and I have been planting the numbs for about a month And I leave just a bit sticking out and they come back in no time. I am really well pleased with them and they are truly perennial. When you can uses the onion then get ten more from it you are really giving yourself a feed crop.

With those field stakes and labels, I have found that my Brother label maker works awesome for years. I use black on white label. Holds up better than Sharpies in the sun. And peel off easily to relabel if I change up varieties.

One of the most realistic perspective approaches to growing. TY.

[toddmessina]

Man, the Georgia Boy seeds I got from are killing it. Already bulbing and looking good!

[terryoliphant]

Great info Travis. Going to cut and replant my Louisiana evergreens. Pulled a bunch with 37 pants in it

[outliergardener]

Thanks so much for the video! I was one of those who had asked about what to do when the LA evergreen shallots start flowering, so I’m so appreciative for the advice @lazy dog farm!

[humanbeing]

Leeks will also grow back if you leave the root in the soil.

[karencovington]

Thanks for the info, Travis. My Old Fashioned multiplying onions (which are like the La. Shallots) are blooming like crazy. I have been cutting the flower stem off and will continue to do so. Also good to know about planting the “nubs.” I will be doing that too. I get so much good information from your channel: Thanks again.

The "trick" of cutting the top off the perennial onion and replanting the roots applies to all onions, including bulbing onions. On a bulbing onion, just cut the root end off, either fresh or after drying, eat the bulb and plant the roots. You only need about 0.5 inch. If the onion is dry from storage, soak the roots in water first to reactivate them.

I’m so glad you addressed the evergreen shallots. All of mine are going to seed and I didn’t know what to do either. Plus, they have multiplied like crazy. I’m 🤔 thinking: divide and plant a few in all of my raised beds for pest control. Thanks Travis! I’ve learned a lot from you!

[RobersonFarms]

The onions I’m growing now are the best I have ever grown and it’s because of what I’ve learned from Travis.

[becky]

Well, good to know I have been doing the right thing. My Louisiana Evergreen Shallots have all been sending up flower shoots and I have been pinching them off (I do not cut all the foliage off as that seems counter productive). The little flower shoots I put in water and leave on the counter and I use them within a few days whenever I want green onions in anything. I think if I was cutting off the bottoms and replanting, I would not cover them completely but leave the tip out of the soil. I am not sure this would make a difference but it is how people grow onions from store bought green onions.

[sandi]

Thank you, im in SE Georgia, & mine are bolting.

[Livingsamsara]

Cool tip re the perennial onion plant! I enjoy the scientific name of "onion nubs" by the way. 😆
