Gardener's Tip

For this dual-purpose set, the secret lies in your initial planting density. Plant sets in March or April with the tips just showing above the soil. For Spring Onions: Plant sets close together (about 5-8 cm apart). Once they reach pencil thickness, harvest every other plant as a fresh spring onion. For Bulbs: This action thins the remaining plants to 10-15 cm apart, giving them the space they need to swell into the large, mature 'Stuttgarter' bulbs for your main autumn harvest.
