Gardener’s Tip

Sow seeds from March to May or again from July to September in well-prepared, fertile soil in a sunny position. Onions grow best in loose soil that allows the bulbs to expand evenly as they mature.

Keep the soil consistently moist while seedlings establish, and thin plants if needed to give bulbs enough space to develop. Harvest once the tops begin to yellow and fall over, then allow the bulbs to dry and cure in a warm, airy place for better storage.
