Instructions
Onions have a moderate growth rate and should be planted in the Spring. If direct sowing: Sow the seeds in clusters of 6 or 8 at 3 to 6 mm deep, when soil is around 15 degrees Celsius. Onion seeds are often started indoors approximately six weeks prior to the outdoor soil temperature being around 15 degrees Celsius. Grow onions in a sunny location. Harvest numbers will increase if you mix in several inches of well aged compost or other rich organic matter. Seeds germinate in 7 to 21 days. Harvest onions when the foliage turns yellow and falls over. If you are able to and the weather is dry for several days dry onions outdoors by elevating them off the ground and out of the direct sun entirely. If it’s wet and rainy you must cure onions inside by easily hanging them in a cool, dry location. Well cured onions can keep well into later winter.
