I'm not just a Potter.My Failed World Record Onion Growing Attempt.Plus some other exhibition Veg.

[haynerbass]

I live on the south west coast of Canada. I'm starting to work out my garden plan right now. I purchased some Mammoth Improved onion seeds. The directions for growing them are very general to onions. I'm having a difficult time finding proper information as to how to grow them to their maximize size. All I've found is a story about a lady in the U.K. that plants hers 15 inches apart (each way) Do you have any suggestions? Fertilizer, moisture, anything/everthing will be helpful. Thanks, Mike

Wow! I didn't think too much about the carrots until you showed the pic with you & all your veggies! Amazing! Those carrots were huge and so perfect! The onions were so beautiful! And I thought everything was bigger in Texas! Lol! Great video. Thanks for sharing!

[ImCaptainjackass]

Were those giant cherry tomatoes I saw?

[Greengate777]

Looking at those industrial size onions, I got to ask: Are you by any chance living near an nuclear waste dump site? ... Have you looked recently in the pond? Any three eyed frogs swimming around?

[coline123456789]

Hi, congratulations for those enormous vegetables!!! what is your technique? could you give me a rough idea of it?

[joealanouf]

[FlamingHomelessDude]

you should really try your voice out some time.

[mcscaz]

just a bloody show off!

[shelsel0115]

Hey Dan, just spent an hour looking at your allotment diary website. You must have a hell of a garden plus I was LOL at your creative writing. You must have a great sense of humor. Sally

[Alyzabeth01]

Wow, nice veggies!

[jjpp23]

that is awesome!! and you do look pretty smug, lol

[rapidac]

Dan, were there any other competitors? lol I am sure Chef Ramsay would have a field day with that bloomin onion. Surely you must have grown some of those veggies in the underground ceramic pots? good stuff.

[jennypok]

Dan you have aways to go

The world record for the heaviest onion is a 16lb 8½oz (468g) onion grown in West Midlands

[tnorton314]

haha, so bizarre, i love it!

[adlesk54]

Fantastic!

And yes good to see you smiling!

[shelsel0115]

Now we just need a hamburger big enough to put a slice of that onion on!

Yum!

[jennypok]

After that onion nothing would suprise me. LOL  I was looking through your web site you really love your gardening. I look at a plane and it dies no green fingers here.

So what is the world record for a onion that one cant have been far away.

[MamereClaire]

You can't beat England for gardening! When I die I don't want to go to heaven,

I want to go to Kew Gardens. Congratulations, Bet you make a great onion soup. Thanks for the video.I

[enslaver]

damn, that's one big onion. I'm hungry now.

[leweeja66]

I have noticed that most of my pottery cohorts also have a garden. I went to a glaze class last May and the 2nd favorite topic was of course how does your garden grow? What do you thinkl?

[jennypok]

Dan your smiling!! LOL

THAT is the bigest onion I have ever seen..!!! I didnt know they could grow that big. What is the record??

[youdanxxx]

You see,I can smile !!!

That might be a big onion but next year I'm trying to grow a 6ft long Carrot....seriously..LOL !!!

[jennypok]

If you grow a 6ft Carrot I am coming over to see it and I am serious..LOL

[youdanxxx]

I feel some double entendres should be appropriate now.

But,forget that,If I do grow a 6 footer feel free to come over to see my giant root vegetable !! LOL !!!!

[animallover4444]

wow! that is AMAZING!!!!!! =D

[FpsMuch]

how do you manage to grow these so big?

is it selective crossbreeding or what?

now i know they look good but do they taste good? :D

[youdanxxx]

It's a combination of sheer madness,and getting the right srain of seed and then some more madness...LOL !!

P.S they taste just fine but you have a job getting through a 9 pound onion before it starts to go off.

Cheers,Dan.

[FpsMuch]

pretty sure you don't have a problem with squirrels in your garden ;)
