Let’s start some onions seeds! #seedstarting #seeds #onions #gardentips | From Dream to Seed

Onions are easy to start from seed and don’t take up much space. These onions were started on February 15th and have already been trimmed once. 🧅✂️ So why do we trim onion seedlings? Trimming helps direct energy to the bulb and roots, making them larger and stronger. 💪🏼 I’ve read all different suggestions on how much to cut, I trim enough so they aren’t flopping over and getting tangled with each other, making sure not to trim them down to the soil. 🤦🏻‍♀️😂As you can see, it’s a good thing

Our first onion harvest was… okay…lol. Two things we learned: onions are heavy feeders and we should have fertilized again. And we should have stopped watering after the bulbs formed, I think we over watered. Bonus lessons: we probably planted too deep and we need to plant earlier next time! Give us your onion growing tips in the comments. We’ll definitely keep trying to grow some beautiful onions! From the Vego Garden at @texasecofarms | Vego Garden
