Can you show how you "braid" your onions into bunches like you show hanging? Thank you!

Nothing is better in this world than hearing someone speak passionately about something. Even if it's about a simple onion.

It's amazing that what I had as a kid (my grandma and almost everyone was doing this) is slowly coming back. I'm 43 and the last time I saw this I was like 10. Thank you for bringing me such sweet memories

In threw some old onions in the flower bed to compost two winters ago and now I have a recurring onion patch. My air conditioner drips on them in summer and that is the only care they receive. . I have onions to eat and it was all by accident. I love how hearty they are even able to survive the harsh Colorado winters and summers pretty much on their own. They seem to be happiest under a few inches of spring snow.

I work in the food industry and y’all need to tell this to the fuckers who supply our onions because holy shit

Thank you for teaching me this. I've never understood why and how they tie them up like that. Also the beauty in seeing all the different varieties you've grown. Just wow.

For those who don't have a rack like that....chain link fence in the shade.

I’d love to get into gardening before having kids so when they are born I can teach them how to do it too. That way, hopefully, they would organically understand concepts like patience and relativity after helping me plant and treat each plant differently ☺️

A friend used to keep his onions in a net that was strung between the rafters of his garage (like a hammock). He grew many different varieties. He also grew garlic and stored his garlic heads in the same way.

I don't think people understand how long produce can stay in storage before they are delivered to your grocery store. The produce that you think is fresh could be weeks or even months old.

I also separate the double bulb o those with two stems in one skin. these double stems onions will not last as long as those that only have one stem in each skin. Just a heads up, this also works when choosing onions at the store.

Now this is worthy content.. informative, to the point and interesting. Much better than all the shock value content being stuffed down our throats

Those are very large & healthy looking onions there!

Yep, my onions lasted a whole year. I still had onions from last year when the time came to harvest the new onions. It was wonderful

All the greens are edible, and delicious too.

This will help me with my first ever onion harvest this year, thanks.

Hubby and I love onions, but man, I am so tired of cutting off squishy parts of white onions. Or the black mold under the dry outer layer. I buy a 10 lb bag and am forever dealing with rotting onions. Many times they are already rotting at the store (sams or costco). I used to store next to potatoes, but was told that would cause rotting. Niw they are in the 10% humidity, usually dark, laundry room on top of the dryer and I STILL have the same issues! Why!?!? What can I do to prevent this?

I chopped a cup Worth of stems and froze to add to potato's TY for sharing 👍

In my village people let the onion steam completely dry(yellowish in colour) in the soil itself, they don't pick up the onion when the stems are green. It reduces the area and equipment required for what the op did by hanging it upside down for 2 weeks. After drying in the field we pick up and tie them in bunches just like op showed in video, garlic is also kept in the same way for longer life usually onions end's in 4-5 months but garlic can stay up to 1 year or more. One more thing we do is separate the rotten one from the bunch periodically for longer life, same for both garlic and onion. when we find one rotten in one bunch we consume that bunch earlier than the good ones
