Start in early spring indoors / heated greenhouse 8-10 weeks before transplanting outdoors (Jan / Feb).
Can be sown late summer to over-winter for the earliest crops.
When transplanting, clip plants to three inches and plant 2 inches deep.
Can be sown directly when ground has warmed in mid-late spring, at 2-3 seeds per inch, but may struggle to reach full maturity.
Thin to 5 inches apart when plants are 6 inches tall.
Harvest by pulling bulbs when tops are brown and dry.
Fertile, moist soil enriched with compost is best for onion production.
