Episode Synopsis

Hey Neighbor! Let's talk about onions! Onions can be a little tricky, but the key to success is choosing the right type for your zone. In this week’s Row by Row Show, we’re breaking down short-day, intermediate-day, and long-day onions, and why daylength is the real trigger for bulbing. Planting the wrong type can leave you with nothing but green tops or tiny bulbs, so it’s important to match your onions to your region.We’ll cover how planting and harvest timing changes across the country, which types store the longest, and how the right choice can save you months of wasted fertilizer, water, and garden space. Be sure to check our onion map and Onion Growing Guide for more helpful tips to get the biggest, healthiest onions possible.Ya'll be sure to join us this Fall at some of the great festivals going on!
