You didn't cover them with soil? Maybe that's what I'm doing wrong-but it was very old seed...

Thanks for the tips 😉

thanks! I learned something new. I will try this with last year's seed.

30 seconds max would have been enough to cover this

I find germinating them between a wet napkin inside a ziplock bag for a week or so.... till the lil fellers sprout their tap roots.. then gather up a gaggle of them and put a cluster of babes down in a 1/2 inch hole in the ground...works..pretty.. well...

Raspberries? Pumpkins? It would be really cool to see the finished products on some of these, too :) Great videos, thanks for making them!

growing tomatillos????

ok I'm a newbie to growing a garden, so I want to know what to look for. How can I tell if the item growing is a bunching onion or just a weed that has invaded my pot?

Hi! It would be nice to see the planting process from seed to harvest. Can you make videos of those?

My Spring Onion is 4 feet high and 3 and a half inches big! I got them very small from Safeway. the garden bed is pack with fall leaves for 2 yrs and worms ate all of them, These spring onion really like it, i guess. They are HUGE and TALL.

Well I did them totally wrong but they are growing fine and have already harvested some. I started them indoors like I did my other onions and transplanted them into the garden and put them in rows spaced about an inch or so between each plant. Will try your method next time. He Shi Ko is the variety of bunching onions that I'm growing. A red variety sounds neat. Are they really red?

Bunching onions can reproduce in 2 ways. One way is from seed, the other way is to set out little runners from the roots. That's why they are called bunching onions. If you leave them in the ground long enough they will send out little onions from the roots and make a bunch. I just planted some this year and they haven't sent out a ring yet, but when I bought them that's what the package said.

Pretty awesome dude keep up the good and informative videos. How about making a video on how to do the three sister growing method (I think that's what it's called) when you grow multiple things right next to each other.

i grow some but i separate them. lol. try again next time. XD

how long until they start popping up?

Those are some cool onions, great video :-)

Great information, thank you.

Thanks for sharing, very informative!
Can you buy these bunching onions in a nursery as transplants or is growing them from seeds better?

Thanks for that Luke. I have some growing now but I didn't know about planting them in clumps!

strawberries?? :D
