These are designed for Spring planting, typically once the soil has warmed slightly and is no longer waterlogged.
Plant them so that the tip of the bulb is just visible above the soil surface.
Yes, they grow very well in raised planters or deep containers as long as the pot has adequate drainage holes.
The onions are ready when the green foliage begins to yellow and flop over naturally.
Keep them in a cool, dark place with plenty of airflow to prevent moisture buildup and rot.
While not strictly required due to the low-maintenance nature of the sets, a light application of balanced vegetable fertilizer can help if your soil quality is poor.
This usually indicates poor drainage. Ensure your soil is amended with grit or compost and avoid overwatering.
Ensure the plants are receiving full sun and are not being crowded by weeds or other vegetables.
The storage area is likely too warm or lacks sufficient airflow. Move them to a cooler, darker, and better-ventilated space immediately.
Before planting, ensure your onion sets are stored in a cool, dark location with adequate ventilation to prevent premature sprouting or moisture-related fungal issues. To set up your garden, prepare the soil by removing weeds and working in organic compost to improve drainage. Push each bulb gently into the soil so the tips are just visible at the surface. During the growing season, watering should be performed only when the top inch of soil feels dry to the touch. Avoid overhead watering as the bulbs approach maturity to prevent bulb rot. Monitor for common garden pests, and ensure your soil remains free of weeds to reduce competition for nutrients.
