I watched this and just harvest my first crop of onions. I loved watching them grow. I probably used 10 or so to cook with for various recipes. I will always have onions and garlic from now on. Thanks for the guidance in this video. I’m hoping they will last many months to come in my basement pantry.

I'm so excited to report that I finally grew onions by following your directions! Thank you Jenna! This is a big first after many years of frustration! They're curing now!

Thank you for this video. I watched it before harvesting my onions to make sure I had all my supplies, areas and techniques ready. You have been such a great help with my gardening and I always wait impatiently for your videos and short clips!

This great video was just what I needed. For the first time I have successfully managed to grow onions (after learning that I need to cover them entirely, so the blackbirds can’t dig them up). From your instructions, I could see that mine were just right for harvesting. I now have them drying out in my garage on shelves and a home-made rack. It’s all the little tips and the detailed advice, that makes your video so very helpful. Thank you.

My family always stores onions in panty hose hung from the ceiling. Simply dropping a onion in, come up two or three inches and tie a knot. Then drop in the next onion and repeat until completely full. The knot keeps the onions separated and allows you to cut the bottom onion off with a pair of scissors. I hope this helps

The trampoline for drying is Brilliant! I bet I have a new use for the jogger tramp now Thank you I am sure this will work for potatoes and some herbs as well. Great Idea and thank you for sharing your garden.

Great information. We use the adjustable wire shelves for curing onions, garlic and potatoes. We have found so many uses for them in gardening, from starting seeds to harvest.

[KarinaDeAlba]

Of course it would be at the start of winter when I get "inspired" to grow my own onions.
Great explanation!

You did a great crop. I did fair last season and prepare my sets but due to surgery got my out late and to late because I lost them
But I do remember the DIY and next season I should be fine.
The surgery seems to be a fix and I don't hardly notice and this season going great other then results in my Charles Dowling no tilt area. Like you believe his no tilt isn't for my clay base soil.
This is a very good video Lady of clay base soil
