Planting & Care
Start seeds indoors 8-10 weeks before the last frost date. Sow seeds 1/4 inch deep in a seed-starting mix, keeping the soil consistently moist but not waterlogged. Provide plenty of light to prevent leggy growth. Harden off seedlings before transplanting outdoors after the last frost. Space plants 4-6 inches apart in rows 12-18 inches apart.
Keep the area weed-free and water regularly, especially during dry spells. Stop watering once the tops begin to yellow and fall over. Harvest when the tops have dried and the bulbs are firm. Cure onions in a warm, dry, well-ventilated area for 2-3 weeks before storing in a cool, dark place.
