Mr Fothergill’s Onion (Spring) North Holland Blood Red Seeds

Description

Mr Fothergill’s Onion (Spring) North Holland Blood Red Seeds, Easy spring or bulbing onion. Harvest alternate spring onions from early sowings allowing space for the remaining ones to mature as bulbs.

Sow outdoors thinly where they are to crop, 1.5cm deep directly into finely prepared soil which has already been watered. Allow 15cm between rows. Early sowings may benefit from cloche protection. Seedlings usually appear in 14-21 days. For spring onions, no thinning is required, but keep well watered in dry spells. Regular sowings made every two to three weeks will ensure a continuous supply through the summer. For bulb onions, sow no later than April. Thin seedlings to 8cm apart. Harvest from July onwards.

• Onions become more red as they mature
• Good source of vitamin C
