332 reactions · 27 comments | 🧅When to harvest Onions🧅 June through to August are the months for harvesting onions 🧅 and this is how to tell if they are ready. The tops will start to yellow and the stems will flop over, this means they are good to go! Pop them somewhere dry, sunny and with good airflow to help them really dry out for storing. Don’t worry about washing them or trimming anything yet, simply leave for a good few weeks 💚 Thank you @simplyseed_uk for the gifted onion sets 🥰 #onions #growingonions #storingonions #growyourown #growfood #homegrown #homegrownfood #growingfood #groworganic #organicveg #veggies #cottagecore #potager #kitchengarden #allotment #allotmentuk #allotmentlove #greenhouse #igrewthis #garden #gardener #gardening #healthyliving #healthyeating #moestuin #flowers #harvest #superfood #homegrowngoodness | Steph Young | Facebook

1.3K views · 17K reactions | When your onion tops flop over, that’s the plant telling you “I’m done growing, time to focus on the good stuff underground.” The neck gets weak and can’t hold up the green tops anymore because all the plant’s energy has moved into making that bulb as perfect as possible. This flop is actually the onion doing you a favor. Once those tops bend over, the neck starts drying out and sealing itself off. Think of it like the plant is putting a cork in the bottle to keep all the bad stuff out. If you harvest too early before this happens, you’re basically pulling onions with no protection against rot. After the flop, let them sit there and finish their thing. The necks need to dry down completely, then you cure them by laying them out somewhere warm and breezy for a couple weeks. Once they get that papery skin and the necks are bone dry, you can trim them up or braid them like those gorgeous Italian kitchen setups. Do this right and your onions will keep for months! 🙌🏼 | Epic Gardening | Facebook

12K reactions · 81 shares | Did you know your tomato plants can help protect the rest of your garden? I make a quick tomato leaf spray—basically steep the leaves in water, strain it, and spritz it around. Aphids hate it. The garden smells amazing. Win-win. It’s one of those “use what you’ve got” tricks that actually works—and yep, it’s in the new Pest Control Program along with a bunch of other natural garden fixes. Comment PESTS and I’ll send you the link! 🍅🪴 | Gardenary | Facebook

Gardening - Here are 9 crops that NEED pruning to produce more, along with why and what to prune for each: 1. Tomatoes → Why: Pruning improves airflow, reduces disease, and channels energy into fruit. → Prune: Suckers (the shoots that grow between stem and branch), lower yellowing leaves. 2. Peppers (Bell & Chili) → Why: Encourages branching and better fruit set. → Prune: Top of young plants (pinch at 6–8 inches tall) and any overcrowded inner leaves later. 3. Eggplants → Why: Fewer but larger fruits, better airflow. → Prune: Bottom leaves, side shoots, and suckers once fruits start developing. 4. Grapevines → Why: Heavy pruning = better quality grapes. → Prune: In winter, cut back 90% of old growth, leaving 1–2 main canes per vine. 5. Strawberries (June-bearing) → Why: Controls runner spread and strengthens crowns. → Prune: Runners after harvest, old leaves in fall or early spring. 6. Cucumbers (especially in small spaces or vertical) → Why: Promotes airflow and fruit development. → Prune: Lower leaves, side shoots below first 5–7 nodes. 7. Pole Beans → Why: Redirects energy into pods, especially in dense growth. → Prune: Top growth when plants reach top of trellis; thin crowded vines. 8. Fruit Trees (like peach, apple, fig) → Why: Shapes the tree, boosts sunlight to fruit, prevents disease. → Prune: In dormant season, remove crossing branches and weak stems. 9. Basil (and other herbs like mint, oregano) → Why: Keeps plant from flowering, promotes more leaf growth. → Prune: Pinch off flower buds and top few inches regularly. | Facebook
