Planting & Care
Planting & Care
Soil & Water: Before planting, thoroughly work compost or well-aged manure and bone meal into the soil.
Planting & Growing: For best results, sow seeds in early spring as soon as the soil can be worked; in mild winter areas, seeds can also be sown in fall to overwinter for a headstart in spring growth. To Start Early Indoors Sow 1" apart in a container of seed starting mix and cover 1/4" deep. Provide a strong light source until seedlings are 2-3" tall. Transplant 4" apart, burying crowns 1" deep. To Start Outdoors Sow seeds in well-worked, fertile soil in full sun. Space 1" apart in rows 8" apart. Cover 1/4" deep, firm soil well over seeds, and keep evenly moist. Thin seedlings gradually to a final 4" spacing.
Harvesting & Storage: Harvest midsummer when bulbs are sized up and about half the onion tops are bent over. Stop watering and bend the rest of the tops down. After another 7-10 days or when tops are dry, pull the bulbs. If possible let the onions dry in the sun for 5-7 days. Store bulbs in a cool, airy place.
