I'd just plant the whole bulb and cut off the greens when they get about 12" high. I have Red Sun Shallots, Dutch Shallots and Yellow Potato Onions for bulbs. I also have Tree Onions(aka Walking Onions, Egyptian Walking Onions) which come back every year and can make a very big green onion come spring. But this is a very good video. Happy gardening!
@@clarkscookery The Tree Onions I pull in the spring for big green onions(always saving some to bulb at the top to replant). Red Sun Shallots(which make nearly an medium onion size, I pull the bulbs, eating the small ones and saving the large ones for replanting, as they will make large ones. The Dutch Shallots and Potato Onions are new this year, but I'll pull and cure the bulbs and probably save the best to replant next spring.The sprouting onions, I just cut the greens. It's trying to go to seed.
The below link gives an onion update: czcams.com/users/shortsdVzS9XMklPs?si=lMKDImzC-_GRSV7m The plan is to try to harvest these onions around the end of August or the start of September.
We used some regular potting soil this time. We did not do amending besides adding the acidity in berry-tone. We will have to try regrowing the roots next time. Thank you for the tip!
Can you use regular onion shoots for salads and in cooking, etc. as you would green onions? You see, my onions are sprouting and I want to plant them so that I can use the top green shoots. Not really interested in actually growing onions.
Your sweet dog wanting to join in is the best part!
Lol! He is a "good" supervisor!
Your dog just want to be involved in whatever you are do.🐶.
Nice music
Lol ikr. Thank you!
I didn’t know you could keep the sprout part and the root like that. Very interesting.
Lord willing, we'll get some onions.
The dog is so cute
Thank you!
Pup is so cute! Good info ty

@gregzeigler3850 do you ever dig up your bulbs, or do you just use the greens?

I see you have your own inspector general supervising your planting skills. I have a c nosey German Shepherd who can't keep his nose out of the way.
Lol! He's a curious/mischievous dog! 🐕
😂
Could tell us how they're doing one month on and when do you expect to harvest them? Also, do you use the green shoots in your cooking?

What else is your soil made up of? And you could put the ones with no root in water and grow them back. I did that and it works 😁👌🏾

@@clarkscookery thanks and no problem 😁👊🏾
Just for the record...
You could have planted that sliver.
The old roots are somewhat redundant, the bulbs forn their own roots.
Thank you for that information. We will keep it in mind for next time.

As long as they are not spoiled, they should be safe to eat. The tops can be chopped and used as you would scallions.
Thank you 😊@@clarkscookery
If you only cut off 1/2 of the green shoots, they should continue to grow and you might get onions as well.
Hi Fid monster 🐕
Like your video, like your dog, but skip the music, way too loud.
Thank you for your input. We will consider it next update.
