What you need to know to Plant & Grow
- Sowing: Seed can be started indoors in a soil-less growing medium in February. The seedlings can then be transplanted outside later in spring. Seed can also be sown directly outdoors from mid-April, 8-15 mm deep and 15 mm apart in rows 30 cm apart. One packet sows approximately 6 m of row.
- Care: Onions do best in a sunny site with fertile, well-drained soil. Thin to 7.5 cm apart for these sweet Spanish types. Bend over any flower stalks that start to grow so the plant’s energy goes into building the bulb.
- Harvesting: Harvest the large, mature bulbs when the tops start to yellow and fall over. Use the clear white flesh for fresh slicing or any recipe requiring a mild onion.
- Germination: Germination occurs in approximately 15 days.
