Planting & Care
Sow Yellow Granex onion seeds indoors 8-10 weeks before the last frost date, or directly in the garden in early spring. Plant seeds about 1/4 inch deep and keep the soil moist until germination. Once seedlings are sturdy, thin them to 4-6 inches apart to allow room for bulb development. Onions require consistent moisture, especially during bulb formation, but avoid overwatering to prevent rot. Mulch around plants to conserve moisture and suppress weeds. Stop watering when tops begin to fall over, and harvest after the tops have dried. Cure bulbs in a warm, dry, well-ventilated area before storing.
