Is this only for your zone. What about zone 6

I am thinking of planting onion seeds here in September/October. If I space my onion seeds 6 to 8 inches apart, wouldn't that allow me to avoid having to dig them up and transplant them later in February like you showed in the video?

I have heard that you should cut the green tops (leaves) back on onions while they are growing if you want to get an even bigger onion. What are your thoughts on that practice? If you do practice that method, at what height should you cut the leaves back etc? Also, can you tell me what the expression "laugh pa" means? You say that expression a lot on your videos and I don't even know how to spell it right in order to find what it means online. Thank you for the videos.

Mr. Donald, you are my go-to guy for onions! Anytime I have an onion question, I just hop over to your channel. :) Hope you're doing well.

so from onion sets or plants how long will it take till you dig them here in south lousisana candy onions

hi ,do you got any videos on starting sweet tater plants ? and or / growin sweet taters ? thanks one of your fans,chuck,

Before planting your seeds this fall or your bulbs this winter make elevated rows like you see in my videos. Also try to make/dig drainage ditches to drain that area of your garden. You have to keep those onions, like any other vegetable, from sitting in water…..Donald

I am soooooooo sad by my ONION patch.. I planted Yellow and White onions and it seems that the area I planted them in fills up with too much water when it rains and my onions just don't seem to be growing... WHAT DO I NEED TO DO TO SAVE MY BULBS AND HELP THEM GROW? ??????????????????
