Finally an update on my pantry onions from last year 🤣 it was a flop, but I’ll try again sometime.

I’ve also since learned that ALL bulbs can reproduce both by producing offsets or baby shoots around the main bulb AND by producing seeds. Isn’t that cool?

  1. Ok so split the new sprouts and plant them individually…I wondered that…. just planted the half onion with 3 new shorts idk what's gonna happen thanks for the info

  2. Get kittens if your not squeamish about killing mice if it was apocalyptic times you qould have to if you could. Then again you probably be eating the mice at the point lol

  3. Have someone who’s done this you don’t have to take it apart. You can just put the whole onion on the ground and it will grow and grow root so you also don’t have to put it in water.

  4. The correct way which has been done for centuries is to let a few onions grow until flower and seed dry the seeds then use the seeds the year after.
    Growing an onion from an onion it's 1×1, there's no growth or profit of product otherwise

  5. I have done this for a few years now. Most grow out just fine. And I have onion greens all year long in Payson Arizona.

    When potatoes start sprouting in the pantry, I’ll replant them. They’ll re-grow as well. Smaller potatoes. But potatoeS.

  6. I do tons of green onions just from the scrap (root end) of my store ought green onions. they will grow and I can just cut off greens at ground level (no need to root in water first). they sometimes divide and grow multiple bulbs. the cooking onions . . . if they are sprouting. I just take off any soft areas and plant the bulb. likely to flower – then I let them grow for the bees and eventually the seeds. BUT, i only plant the seeds of cooking onions to be harvested as green onions. because no idea if they are long day or short day. i do plant them denser than prescribed.

  7. Could you start putting your videos into playlist? That way we can easily follow up. Curious to see how growing an onion from onion worked the 2nd time

  8. F what you were doing at first. Use the green onion tops as green onions. Cut off the bottom with an inch or so above the dried roots and plant. Use the rest in your cooking. The base will produce more green onions and can be split into individual plants. In your case there'd been 4.
