Blake Shelton’s favorite place to be is on his Oklahoma ranch. Still, there are chores even he doesn’t enjoy doing, especially planting onions. In a comedic — and slightly inapprorpriate — social media post, Shelton reveals that he finally did the task he he had been dreading for weeks: planting onions.

“I’ve been meaning to plant onions for a few weeks now,” Shelton says. “I’ve had the onion sets and I’ve just been putting it off and wasting time. And my mom used to always say, ‘Sh– or get off the pot. So today it’s beautiful here in Oklahoma and I’m getting off the pot.

“And we’re gonna plant some onions. I got the original orange out,” he continues, showing off his orange Kubota tractor. “So here we go. It’s onions time.”

Shelton sang a little ditty before embarking on the disliked task.

“I woke up this morning and I flushed a big floater / And now I’m planting onions on my orange Kubota,” he sang.

Blake Shelton’s Life in Oklahoma

Ever since starting his relationship with Gwen Stefani in 2015, Shelton has divided his time between Los Angeles and Oklahoma. Although he enjoys being wherever Stefani is, whom he wed in 2021, Shelton admits there is no place like Oklahoma for him.

“She comes to Oklahoma, and it’s not like this now, but at first, she had to have felt like ‘Where am I? What is this place?’” Shelton tells WKML “This is not how she grew up, and the same goes for me. I’d go to LA, and it’s like, ‘What is this place? How do I fit in here?’ And I would still feel that way if she wasn’t there.”

Shelton owns a whopping 1300 acres in Oklahoma, caring for much of it himself. His ranch was also the backdrop for his “God’s Country” video, released in 2019. But he will have to delegate some of the ranch work over the next few weeks, as he headlines his Friends & Heroes Tour. Shelton will be joined by Trace Adkins, Craig Morgan, Deana Carter and Emily Ann Roberts for the tour, which kicks off on February 27.
