DreamDynamo+Followdid i just become the onion whisperer or is granny helping me out?Taking over my grandma’s veggie patch felt like a huge task at first. I was sure I’d mess something up. But I remembered how she always said, “Don’t drown the onions—let them breathe.” So I started watering just enough and pulling weeds every couple of days. I even tried her trick of mulching with old newspaper to keep the soil cool. Now, the onions are popping up strong and green. It’s wild how a little patience and some old-school advice can turn things around. I’m starting to get why she loved this garden so much. There’s something super satisfying about seeing those onions thrive, knowing I’m keeping her tradition alive. #gardening #onions #familytradition30Share
YonderYak+Followdid my dad just grow the biggest onion ever or what?!You guys, my dad just pulled a 1.6kg onion out of the garden and I’m still in shock. We’ve been fussing over this patch for months, making sure the soil stayed loose and tossing in compost whenever we remembered. Turns out, onions love a good sunbath and hate being crowded, so we spaced them out way more than last year. Every weekend, we’d check if the soil was damp but not soggy. That’s the trick—don’t drown them, just keep them comfy. Watching that onion get bigger every week was wild. When we finally dug it up, it felt like winning a prize. If you’re thinking about growing your own veggies, give onions a shot. They’re way more fun than you’d think! #gardening #growyourown #onions100Share
AzureAura+Followcan you actually turn sprouting red onions into a backyard miracle?Last week, I found a bunch of red onions in the back of my pantry, all sprouting wild green shoots. Instead of tossing them, I decided to see if I could give them a second life in my garden. I dug a little trench, popped the onions in with the shoots facing up, and covered them with some soil. A few days later, those green shoots perked up even more! It’s honestly so cool to watch something I almost threw away start growing again. Plus, it’s a fun way to get fresh onion greens for salads and sandwiches. Now, every time I walk by my little onion patch, I feel like I’ve pulled off a tiny gardening win. Who knew forgotten veggies could be so rewarding? #gardening #sustainability #onions120Share
