I just can't afford to buy plants to transplant any more. They are priced any where from $3.00 to $10.00 a pot. I have an acre, so I just started buying seeds. So far so good. Some are ready to transplant now.

Without onions, there would be no onion rings. Thank you for the video!

You talk a lot but you don’t ramble. This video is full of great information. Enjoyed every minute.

I had a step dad that grew onions in our garden in New Mexico. He was a truck driver and could only stop sometimes but not regularly. Still we gave him a section for the onion and truly his onions were amazing!. He came from Tennessee and knew much more than us. I’ve still trying to figure out how he did that. Thanks for your help !

Fantastic content Hoss! Thanks so much; you really helped me - I live adjacent to a salt marsh in zone 8b - near the delineation from intermediate to short - day. Not a farm; I just enjoying gardening. Greetings from Virginia Beach, VA. 😊 All the best to you!

Travis, I am all in! My knees are full of wonderful smelling Amite, Louisiana "dirt". Today, we just set out six, single drilled, forty foot rows (480 transplants) of various Hoss supplied onion seed varieties. As always, we reap fantastic germination on Hoss Seeds. The rows were set at 18" spacing with 6 inches between plants. I plant on the flat. Seeds were transplanted from 338 cell trays under buried drip tape with an injection of 20-20-20 and Micro-Boost. The varieties we planted were Sweet Harvest, Plethora, Yellow Granex, and Red Creole. I can hear them growing now. The wheel plows are ready to roll. Garlic and leeks awaiting too. Fantastic video!👍

I live in 7a/b. My onions are going in the ground this week and plan on using row covers when the temp drops. We had 20 degree temps for nearly 60 hrs, 2 weeks ago and all my cauliflower and broccoli survived using row covers and incandescent string lights. Where there’s a will, there’s a way!

Can't believe I drifted away from this channel. I have ordered from HOSS. I will be ordering again. Really enjoyed the video Travis thank you for all of your helpful knowledge and insight.

It’s wonderfully ridiculous how easy you make this long day etc business so easy to understand thank you much for clarifying this mystery 💡

Had a lot of success last year with my onions using your technics Trav, I'm hoping for even better results this time with a year of knowledge under my belt.

Even an old gardener like me can learn something new. I didn’t realize I was trying to grow long day onions here in Northeast Oklahoma. In my defense, I spent so many years in Wyoming, it just didn’t occur to me that the same onions I grew there wouldn’t perform well here. Guess I’ll be visiting your site to get some different seeds. LOL

Found your channel recently when looking up the heavy duty trays. I'm glad I found it since you and your father give excellent information and advice to help anyone from a novice gardener, homesteader, or novices looking to get into farming.

Look forward to seeing a lot more of your videos.

Thank you for this very helpful, much-needed video. I appreciate that you provided a map on where to grow short, intermediate and long day onions and listed on your new website which onions to use. I just love your new website! It has so much information and much easier to navigate. You make it simple for the small, beginning gardener with all your experience.

[FreedomFeather]

Fantastic info! I haven’t done a veggie garden in about 20 yrs so I feel like a newbie! Thank you for the detailed yet quick info!!

[valoriegriego]

Wow, you schooled me well. I'm a happy camper. 'll be growing onions for the first time this coming spring...short day onions for my zone 8a here in Central Texas. Thanks for the great info.!🙂

[dastamericus]

I am watching this video, even though I already grow my onions from seeds and am really happy with the size. Nice video.

[Grumpyneanderthal]

Getting ready to plant mine next week. I’ve been following your guidance for over 3 years and the difference is undeniable. I’ve got to tighten up my fungicide program however. I’ve got the stuff just need to get on it earlier and stay regular with it. Great video Travis.

[dottyehammett]

Wow! You really lay out some great info! And you get right to the point; no messing around. Glad, too, that I found a source for 20-20-20 fertilizer. Enjoyed every minute.

[carmenfisher]

This is a really great video. I realize that you are selling your stuff but...you offer great and honest advice regardless if someone is going to buy from you or not. It's great to see your integrity compared to todays fast shuffle and slight of hand selling presentations the public endures today. I wish you great success. You are doing a great service for those who view your channel.
