Sowing Instructions
Prefers full sun in rich, well-drained soil. Sow direct to garden or into pots to transplant later. Keep moist, but take care not to over-fertilize or waterlog. Onions grow tops first and bulbs later. Harvest after tops dry off (usually February/March), hang in a cool, dry place.
