Planting & Care
Start onion seeds indoors 8-10 weeks before the last frost date for best results. Sow seeds 1/4 inch deep in a seed-starting mix, keeping the soil consistently moist but not waterlogged. Once seedlings are sturdy and danger of frost has passed, transplant them outdoors in a sunny location with well-drained soil. Space plants 4-6 inches apart in rows 12-18 inches apart.
Onions require regular watering throughout the growing season, especially during bulb formation. Reduce watering as the tops begin to yellow and fall over, which signals maturity. Stop watering completely about a week before harvest to allow bulbs to cure. After harvesting, cure onions in a warm, dry, well-ventilated area for 2-3 weeks before storing in a cool, dry place.
