This is the first time I planted any onions. I am very happy with the 1015 variety of onions. They are big and flavorful. I think a key to growing big onions is to plant them shallow and to have loose soil so they don't have to work hard to grow. I didn't know how to string up onions. But with a quick search on YouTube I learned. I am very happy with the harvest and the stringing up of the onions. After all is said and done I harvested 26 lbs. of fresh, home grown 1015 onions. I gave about 5 lbs away. This bunch weighed in at 21 lbs. Were you close on your guess? Share what you thought they weighed and any thoughts in the comment box below. Thanks for watching.

@NDVenus Not long. We eat a lot of salads with these onions in them. I think we are about 5/8 of the way through the harvest. As far as how long they will be eatable I am not sure because we are eating them so fast.
this was very helpful, thank you!
how long does the string of onions last in your pantry?
@4GreenEarth2 I don’t know. I just planted them in my wife’s raised garden bed. She uses garden soil mix and dressed it with leaf mold compost. It is light, drains well and the plants love it.
@4GreenEarth2 Onions need well worked soil, plenty of manure, I use chicken pellets. Feed every 2 weeks with comfrey tea and you end up with very large onions, I grow a variety called Centurion – just harvested 450 onions
Very informative, this was helpful.
@4GreenEarth2 We have not added anything extra. We used vegetable soil to fill the raised beds then add leaf mold compost as the soil settles. That’s it.
what kind of soil or nutrients do onions need?
@LDSPrepper Well, thank you, my LDS “brother.” I remember when my grandparents grew lots of onions, and the would bring home from their garden at least that much when it was time to harvest them. Because I grew up in NY State, we had an excellent root cellar for all our potatoes, onions and other produce to last us thru the winter. My favorite thing to do was shucking corn, snapping beans, cut up tomatoes to prepare for canning sauces, etc. Lots of work, but it kept us out of trouble. :)
@mainbearing68 BTW, my guess was 25lbs, because I bought two 25# bags this year and dehydrated about half and froze about a third and cooked the rest and ate them already. Great Video.
Thanks for the info; I have had problems growing onions. The ones in the shade explained one of my problems. I had now idea they needed full sun. THANKS!
@MsDKGirl Thanks for the recommendation. I did and he does.
@MyFreedomChannel Very good guess. Thanks for commenting.
I’d say your onions weigh between 20 & 30 lbs.
I think they way about 30 lbs.
Check out Donald a.k.a. WebCajun for tips on drying onions. He’s awesome!!
@childhoodprepper Thank you. I will. I keep seeming to come up with things that I do for prepping that are second nature and hadn’t thought about sharing just because they are routine and the thought doesn’t cross my mind to video it. I’ll be more alert.
@slbaldwin7 Thank you and thanks for commenting.
thx
uve got a great channel keep the vids coming
I’m guessing 44 lbs. They look beautiful!
@childhoodprepper Yup. When I was editing I realized I said tomatoes. Good comment. Thanks.
7 pounds of tomatoes lol
My guess is 31 pounds. I have my spanish onions growing up here in Canada, I like your stringing idea and will try it up here.
Just put them in the ground and let them grow, YOUR kind of plant, MINE too lol.
ummm… looks like about 26 lbs.
