Organic Onion Seeds

🧅 A Garden Essential

Onions are an essential building block for countless meals, offering flavour, health benefits, and excellent storage potential. Whether you are growing for fresh eating or long-term pantry storage, starting from seed allows you to access a wide variety of shapes, colours, and pungent or mild profiles.

• Growing Essentials: Onions require deep, fertile, well-drained soil with plenty of organic matter. They are light-feeders that thrive in full sun and must be kept free of weeds, as they do not compete well.

• Sowing: Start seeds indoors 8–10 weeks before your intended transplant date. Once the ground is workable in early spring, transplant seedlings outdoors, ensuring they are spaced properly to allow for bulb development.

• Day-Length Considerations: Select varieties that match your specific latitude; onions are sensitive to day-length, which triggers the bulb-forming process.

• Harvesting & Curing: Harvest when the tops begin to yellow and fall over. For best results, “cure” them in a warm, dry, airy place out of direct sunlight before storing.
