Our planting of onion for 2022 started with a crop of red creole onion on Dubai 1A that we established during the rain season as a way to get a product to market early. It was far from successful and the crop endured a host of challenges as shared in previous videos about it.
To the extent that nine months later, we were still waiting for the necks to fall, which normally signals that the crop is ready to be taken out of the ground. With nothing happening, we decided to just harvest the crop and get what we could from it.
This video shares the story of how the crop on Dubai 1A was harvested, which seemed disappointing at first, before some grading of bulbs revealed that things were not actually as bad as we had first thought.
We also share our thoughts on Succession Planting and how it can benefit vegetable farmers.
