Isn't it amazing how Adonia provides? Sometimes even in spite of us. HE knew you would need that table, so in spite of the fact that you were planning on throwing it away, HE allowed you to put it off until later. It is awesome when we can look back and see HIS (yad), hand

Absolutely true!!!

I'm no gardener but I think I saw a video where they braided the onions like garlic and hang em up. Cutting that table in half to reuse it is genius!!!

Thats called Home Stead engineering. The wire mesh table top should allow adequate air flow for drying the onions. Great idea Sam and Angela.

When they look dry we'll call em dry. Yoo hoo . You two have me my laugh for the day. Luv you guys

I'd save that other half of the table. There's BOUND to be something you can do with it at some future date! Oh, wait! You DID!!!

Thanks for the bonus bonus bonus.God Bless green acres ✌❤🙏

Eventhough you guys started planting late your garden is a success..👍🏻👍🏻

Always enjoy your videos. I live in an apartment, but still love watching the gardening. Seeing the kiddos is always a treat.

Nice to see the boys pulling onions with you. Great reuse of that mesh table!

LOVE how the boys help! I watch for your videos and am so excited when I see you have posted one!

Sam get a piano hinge and 2 regular hinges for the legs to make the shelf collapsed against the wall when not in use. Thank you for the upcycle idea.

This was so clever. Loved seeing the boys helping out. They are so handsome. Thank you for sharing

Now I know what to do with my table when it craps out! So far it is still a table. Love your videos! 💞

LOVED your son video bombing lol

I recently heard that if you want big onion bulbs to not plant as deep. You are still way ahead of my all weed garden.

Your lil men are such good helpers.💗💗💗👍👍👍

Every video seems like a bonus. learn so much. Don't know why but you two bring Choice Words to mind, as in Constructive, Resourceful and Creative .Be Blessed.

Great idea re-purposing the table ! God bless you all.

Great idea to repurpose that table! Couple of ideas for you: put both sides on hinges so you can collapse when not using. The other thing you can do with the other side is create an outdoor wash station outside the greenhouse for rinsing off your harvest!

See, it pays to hang on to stuff!

That table is the best onion dryer setup I've seen yet. Great idea. I'm about ready to pull my onions. I hope they look that good. I planted about 3 dozen, but only about a dozen took :/

I love the recycled table into a shelf. Awesome

I use old panty hose and knee highs to tie up tomatoes, roses, stake up flowers. I cut the hose in strips and use them all over my flower and vegetable gardens.

I love you both, you are adorable and innovative and so talented! Keep your videos coming!

The onions look great if you plant them a little deeper they will get bigger also I just dried mine and it took 3 weeks here in northern west Kentucky I just adore the green house much love from the Smith's.❤️❤️😉

Wow a very creative use of something you were gonna throw out

😎 onion drying table👍👍 I plan to do hammocks for my sugar baby melons.

love you, your family and green-house. I hope to build my own next year. I think I will put in a pea-gravel floor and make it shorter (for the neighbors) I already have water & electricity close. My wife and I used to garden together, but lost her to cancer when she was only 49 yrs old. The lady could eat her weight in cucumbers! Sometimes we would have fresh tomatoes and cucumbers sliced on a plate and with a little salt, it would be supper. But of course sometimes I would sneak in a little steak. Enjoy your videos. Keep it up! from down in Texas

Great job by a great couple!!

Yes you need to weed your beds. Weeds strangle the plants growth.

Use what you've got! Thank goodness for the junk pile.

If you have a wire coat hanger... cut it up into small pieces and make little s's for hanging the nylon stockings to hold the larger produce and are reusable.

Can those boys get any cuter? Nope Great idea to upcycle your tabletop! Love you all! XOXOX

Not our boys! Hahaha they are a part of most everything we do here -- just like we were made a part of our parent's projects. :)

I just love your videos! Without fail, they always bring a smile to my face. I think your gardening's been a huge success this year guys. You learn as you grow, and overall because you've never let your growing challenges deter you, your yield has been fabulous! Especially considering the circumstances. So from me it's a very WELL DONE to both of you, AND your little helpers!!! :-)) That table was a great idea, and it actually made your greenhouse look very "Shabby Chic when set against the white backdrop!!" You may have started a new fashion craze!!! lol As for the melons Angela, I don't know how practical this is for you, but I have seen those socks cut up the entire length, and turned into a full on hammock. It worked really well at supporting the melons as they continued to grow huge. Just two ties to hold them in place on the trellis, and Bob's Your Uncle!! They held perfectly fine. If they outgrow the sock, you might try that. If you should find another partially written comment from me floating around, I'm not drunk!! The storm's just reached me on the East Coast, and my message disappeared so I had to start again! lol Thank you for sharing guys. Great stuff!! Loved it!!

You should use hinges so the table can fold down out of the way when not in use to maximize more floor space.

I just received my order of soap from you guys. I bought the lavender rosemary goat milk soap and the rose. They were supposed to be gifts but I’m not sure I want to part with them. 🤷‍♀️.

Love this keep the bonus bonus video footage and keep your bloopers absolutely love it! Also the knee highs my grandparents when take after their onions dried and store that thing ends and them and hang out they did Peppers that way to once they were dried and between each one that time. Then drop another one time knot drop another one an it kept the from rotting they would hand them in cold dark places in house or where they wouldn't freeze. But i do know i am glad found your channel an i am going to try an keep watching all the older an newest videos i have alot ahead of me.

Nice idea! I thought you were going to put hindges on it to make it foldable!!! You can use the other have somwhere else, for sure!!

Well that's a great idea about the knee highs used to hang melons.

That greenhouse is awesome!

Plant turnips! I love them!

Sam you are talented I believe you can do anything that’s so neat tyfs

Love the photo bomb at the end!

Good for you, that's great. Waste not want not.. Thanks for sharing.

You did your best I applaud you

Wow look at those onions u two are so smart

Your little boy made me laugh so hard your boys are so handsome

Brilliant idea for drying racks!

Great idea. You gave just a little peak of the other half of the table installed at the end. On the bonus footage I thought you were going to make a sling for the watermelons. Never saw it done that way. Will be interesting to watch the progress. Much success with fall garden.

The other half was just sitting on two storage totes as a temporary table for the extra onions. It will not be left there all the time. I'm thinking of putting it where the rain barrels are, or maybe up high as a storage shelf, but aren't sure yet.

Two air shelves, one for the green house and one for the outdoor kitchen. A buddy that can weld can make brackets. What a great drying rack.

I was wondering how the peas were doing. See? Your experiment turned out just fine.

Good job, let's go! Keep on keeping on

Years ago a old lady told me that when she was a kid her parents would wrap up watermelon in insulation and put them in barrels and store them in the cellar and they would have watermelon up until Christmas. I myself never did it but I just thought maybe someone would try it just to see if it works! Just saying 😀

Try Dixondale Farms web page. They sell onions, but they also they have lots of info on curing and and storing onions. Also they have great recipes. This year we have had abnormally dry conditions so I will have to water them to harvest them. I live in S. Central Iowa.

Genius idea!

Oh no!

Peas are easy. Do you have a blanching pot? If not, get one cuz, with peas it's the only way to put them up (well, for me, anyway). They're cheap and can be used for spaghetti too :) ...now all ya gotta do is Google "blanching peas for the freezer" There's tons of info out there. Only requires a freezer, and freezer bags big enough to hold about 2 cups of peas (that's enough for one meal for my brood) and ICE....don't forget the ice. Oh, and a couple of large bowls. You'll see what I mean :) They only blanch for about a minute and a half, then into the ice bath. With a blanching pot, it's way easy. Don't forget to drain 'em really well after the ice bath. Your own, home-grown peas will be the best you've ever tasted....trust me :)

Recycling and good yeald with your onion patch , little guys helping out , excellent . Like to see the extras and your good humour . Makes the world go around . Keep up the excellent work and content guys 👍👍👍 .

Loved the bonus bonus footage!!

fun video. Love seeing the progress

You can also dry onions by using pantyhose. Cut each leg off the panty part. Put an onion in and tie a knot between each onion and hang.

Freaking brilliant kids! We have gotten our onions pulled and dried too! (in the greenhouse also!) But I like your table better than my old 2x4s~! ❤
