Planting Tips for Success

• Choose the timing: Follow local planting guidance for short-day onions and allow enough time for bulbs to mature before extreme heat or cold arrives.
• Start or direct-sow: Sow pelleted seed about ¼ inch deep in fine, well-prepared soil. Avoid burying the pellets too deeply.
• Provide sunlight: Grow onions in full sun with well-drained soil and good airflow.
• Keep moisture consistent: Pelleted seeds need steady moisture while the coating softens and seedlings emerge. Do not let the seedbed dry out during germination.
• Thin carefully: Thin or space seedlings once established so each plant has room to develop a well-formed bulb.
• Feed moderately: Use fertile soil and a balanced onion-growing program. Avoid excessive nitrogen late in the season, which can delay bulb maturity.
• Harvest at maturity: Harvest when bulbs reach their expected size and the tops begin to bend or dry. Cure briefly in a dry, airy place and use this fresh-market onion promptly.
