Hey Donald…. Good vids as always.
How big is your farm? Are you the only one working on it?
@jagan4uhere … You see approx 5 acres in the videos and yes I do 99% of it…..Donald
Great video……..Thanks for making them.
@Fielderfarms …You’re welcome……Donald
Hi Donald I have a question. My dad gave me a Satsuma tree. it’s currently in a bucket. Should I plant it now or wait till spring? What is the best time of year to plant it? Thanks!!
@lsukitten … I would plant it sometime in late Dec – early Jan when the tree is dormant……Donald
Mr Donald, that is another great video, as usual.
I really enjoy all your videos.
You have helped a tremendous amount of people,(me included).
It is a pleasure to watch you.
May God Bless & Keep you. safe & healthy.

had one of my own . got me a little old sears suburban
tractor with all the implements
@500passwords … I think you are going to do just fine…….Donald
just an idea ! maybe use a 3 or 4′ ( foot ) peace of 3/4 or 1″ pvc pipe to plant the seed from the car seat
but could be smaller pipe like 1/2″ with a funnel on the loading end … 4:10 to 4:45 could be done from the car. looks like it maybe ez’er to put the seed down that way just an idea ! 
Just tryin to help
Thanks and Good Luck
@SpikenAL … Next time my back gives out on me and I can’t walk that would be a good idea. Thanks…….Donald
is it just me or is your soil turning more brown..used to look more red i thought. lol. maybe that worm cast tea is doing it.
@CreazioniPinnacolo … LOL The color changes with the amount of moisture in the soil……Donald
how many onions you get out of that 100 foot row.
… Since I won’t be transplanting or doing very much thinning I’d say 400-500……Donald
Great video Donald! I learned that I planted my onion seeds too close together. Next year I will know to spread the seeds out. Have a good evening.
@borderbubba … If you’re planning on transplanting in February then close spacing is OK. I won’t be transplanting so I spaced em out a bit……Donald
haven’t tried to plant onions from seed yet, I’ve been planting from bulbs i get from the farmers market. they never get very big though, any idea what im doing wrong??
@jude1c9v … Try planting seedlings instead of the bulbs. You’ll also need to plant the right type of onion for your area. Lots of folks order theirs from Dixondale Farms in TX…….Donald
i planted onion seeds with garden lime and they sprouted what else do i need
Thank 4 sharing, U hang in there as well (^_^)
@swsebrownsugar1888 … Let em get a little size to em (about 10-12 inches tall) then you can side dress with a little fertilizer…..Donald
